Did you know that the best way to burn fat is to lift weights? It's true! Strength training burns more fat overall. Your body continues to burn calories up to 36 hours after a good workout that involves using weights. Weight training also makes you stronger and produces more muscles. Best of all, strength training also boosts your metabolism. Just remember to always eat healthy meals.
You can simplify your diet by thinking in terms of color and variety. Start slow and gradually your diet will become healthier. Also, when preparing your meals think about smaller portion sizes and do not eliminate the "bad" foods because you will only crave them more. If you worked hard it's ok to treat yourself once in a while. Lastly, follow the food pyramid and cut out sugar from your diet.
