You can also get good fats like omega-3 from fish. These fatty help the body activate enzymes that burn fat. Stay away from corn oil, meat fat and dairy fats as they will add the inches.

  • 4. Trade your white bread for whole grain. Processed flour is nothing but sugar and is just as bad as eating a candy bar go for the whole grain breads.
  • 5. Eat a low fat yogurt every day. The calcium in the yogurt tells fat cells to make less fat. So get some good dairy into you like low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese.

Muscle is what burns calories and the more muscle we have the more calories we burn to support it even when we are not exercising. The legs are the larges muscles in the body so start there by doing no weight squats and then add some 5 or 10 pound dumbbells to the work out. I guarantee that you body is not use to doing 12 to 15 squats with out weight and you will feel it if you do it three times during the day.

Eat Less Calories and Watch What You Eat

Weigh loss very simple in principle. Eat fewer calories than you burn in a day to lose weight. That is it, nothing else counts. So lets look at the facts. In a pound of fat there are 3,500 calories. The chart below breaks down how much you would gain by eating to many calories.
Extra Calories a Day Weight Gained in a Month Weight Gained in a Year
250 2 Pounds 24 Pounds
125 = 1 Banana or Apple 1 Pound 12 Pounds
50 = 1 teaspon of Peanut Butter 5 Pounds

As you can see even small amounts of excess calories can have a big effect.
So how do you control it? There are two ways to know if you are eating excess calories 1st is that your moving to the next belt hole. 2nd and the preferred way is a more accurate method, record what you eat. I know it’s a hugh pain to do it but it is cheaper than buying a new belt.
