One of my favorite things in the world is ice cream. Well one of my favorite things in the world is chocolate also. Did I mention how much I love cake? Okay, you might be starting to see a pattern here.

The great thing about junk food today is that there are so many low-fat options. 

If you notice, Just about every box or container that you see down a junk food aisle has at least one fat-free or low-fat option. “This is great for me since I am such a fan of junk food but don’t want to indulge in the extra fat that it puts into my body”.

I LOVE JUNK FOOD …

If this line of thinking sounds like you, HAVE we got news for you.

The fact is, fat can be our friend. Now there is something you won’t see on the outside of most packages of tasty treats. You see, it’s not always the fat that is a problem for us when trying to lose weight. It is more often the combination of fat and sugar that becomes explosive.

A Twinkie, for instance, is almost a perfect combination of fat and sugar. The same can be said for ice cream. We like sugar ok, and are not too fond of fat by itself, but combine the two and watch out!

So, the low fat options are obviously better, right? Not necessarily.

When your body eats sugar, your pancreas will produce insulin into your bloodstream to help break down the sugar. Too much blood sugar can lead to a host of health problems including diabetes if left unchecked for long period of time. When this process occurs, the body shuts down the fat burning system while the insulin does its work.

Therefore, combining sugar with fat allows the sugar to get processed but not the fat and this is one of the main reasons why eating these junk foods contribute to a healthier (fatter) belly than a healthier body.

In addition, the body is extremely efficient at converting excess sugars into fat so if you eat too high a concentration of these junk foods, you’re getting hit with the fat that can’t be processed because of the insulin production we spoke about, and the excess sugar that can be broken down and stored as fat as well.

Many folks think that when they purchase a low-fat sweet treat that they’re doing themselves a favor, but research shows that people will eat more of these low-fat treats that still contained the same or sometimes more sugar than the products that contain fat. This leads to the sugar being stored as fat as we mentioned before and doesn’t offer a truly viable alternative.

So what type of snacks can you eat if you’re looking to burn fat?

First of all, limit sugars of any kind. The increase in blood sugar that they can cause coupled with the fact that excess sugars can be easily converted into fat make eating them generally an unhealthy food choice. In addition it is possible to eat a high-fat high-protein diet, if you follow a specific plan that will allow your body to begin using the fat you take in as energy, and in turn burn the stores of fat that you already have. This type of diet is generally known as a ketogenic diet and can be very successful for you if followed correctly.

In addition, learn to choose foods that are satisfying without having to contain the combination of processed sugars and fats to achieve their taste. It can be tough, but so can this…

and beleive me, these “extra” pounds of fat on the body are even tougher.

Moving away from these junk foods and training your body to begin burning fat instead of storing it can be your solution to the ongoing fat loss and a healthier you.

Every product in the world promises it will help you melt away the fat and lose weight fast. From the “One day diet” to patches, gadgets, and pills … STOP! These dietary supplements are being sold by the billions, praying on your false hopes, and yet the supplement industry continues to plunk down their latest and greatest “weight loss” products on the shelves with claims to reduce weight.

Don’t be fooled, most products deliver NOTHING but worthless promises. 

Maybe you have an upcoming event you want to look great for, or maybe you want to be ready for beach season just right around the corner, or maybe you have a medical condition that is threatening to get worse, there are many reasons why you may want to lose weight.

Here are some realistic tips to help you achieve that goal that won’t threaten your health OR cause you to go into the poorhouse.

Write down everything you eat. This sounds simple, but simply following this one tip can help you lose some serious body fat. I strongly recommend writing down the foods BEFORE you eat them. Why? Well, when you are starting down at a list that says “6 Oreo cookies and 32 ounces of milk” It is sure to make an impact on you, that is, if you are serious about losing weight. This little psychological trick will help you to make better food choices, eat less, and reach your weight loss goals more quickly.

Eat 5-6 small meals per day. We have all heard this, but why should we eat 5-6 small meals per day? The more frequently you eat, the more your metabolism works. Once you get your metabolism set on overdrive, you will burn calories even while you are sleeping.

Eat foods that promote weight loss. I am not just talking about coffee and tea; I am talking about nutritional whole foods that can help your body burn fat. The good news is, the list is long and includes such staples as eggs, beans, oatmeal, olive oil, whole grains and more. Do your research, make your grocery list, and eat your way to fast weight loss!

Start (or modify) a regular exercise program. Ok, no brainer alert, a good diet is number one on the list, but a quality exercise program is a close second. I am not just talking about joining a gym and checking in a few times a month, or walking around your neighborhood for 30 minutes three times a week.

I am talking about sweating, hard pounding, muscle building, fat burning hardcore workouts! Now, if you are really out of shape, you do have to take it slow, but you want to work up to the point where you are doing some serious work and doing it on a regular basis.

Cut out the sugar!!! One of the hardest things to do while trying to lose weight fast is to cut down on the carbs. Carbohydrates represent just about everything we love! Bread, pasta, and most of all sweets! Candies, cookies, cakes, and all those things we may crave. The fact of the matter is, it is sugar that is our enemy, not so much fat. Research indicates that our bodies are more likely to store the sugars we eat as fat rather than the fat we eat. Sounds contradictory, but thems the breaks!

Trust me, you will NOT look this excited!

There you have it. 5 steps to help you lose weight fast. They’re easy to follow, easy to remember and the best thing about it—it won’t cost you a dime! The foods you eat in step 3 can be incorporated into your regular monthly budget so as not to cost you any extra money.

Here’s to your success, good luck!

You aren’t the only one asking the most common question. So how can I rid the fat FAST?

After all, you do want to look better naked, right?

It’s the time of year when we all start our fat and weight loss programs. And yet it discourages even the most motivated individual from sticking to their fat loss routine when their results don’t quite match the expectations. They set these unrealistic goals for themselves hoping to be one of those “overnight success” stories, ending up disappointed and disinterested. Because of the last minute nature of the demands placed on their customary lifestyle and schedule, these weight losers may only setting themselves up for failure. 

So while everyone is still HOT on their resolutions kick, here is a quick list of tips that may help you survive the typical “drop-off” and keep your SEXY on track during these shaky first months. They’re sure to get you ripped, lean and toned in no time.

1. Re-focus on your goal 

Take the time to sit down and really put some thought into what you are trying to accomplish. Reevaluate your fat loss goals and determine whether they are feasible. Ask yourself and be honest, “What is my motivation?” Set up some milestones towards your ultimate goal with a deadline in mind. Do you want to decrease your body fat or are you looking for a slimmer waist line? Are you looking for more definition in your legs or are you aiming for a chiseled upper body? Do you want to tighten, shape or build some rock solid glutes?

Keep in mind that you cannot “spot reduce” or choose to lose the fat from one specific area of the body. Be patient.

2. Measure it all and record

Get a body fat scale or hire a personal trainer to perform a proper assessment and body composition analysis. Stepping on a standard, run of the mill floor scale only displays your total weight and does not indicate your total lean to fat ratio. Having the proper balance is very important. Low percentages can cause a great deal of physiological challenges on the body. On the other hand, a high percentage can also be harmful. This knowledge will prove useful when establishing your baseline fitness level.

Take some “before” and “after” photos from every different profile perspective- frontal, rear and side shots. Seeing is believing. Being able to have a visual reference point is enough to keep most people motivated and focused. With each photo op, take accurate measurements of the circumference of all your major muscle groups. By collecting this data every now and then, you can actually plot your progress on a chart to gauge your progress – invaluable when you are trying to fuel your desire to move smarter and faster towards the finish line.

This is also helpful in determining whether you’re on or off course, so if need be, corrections can be made to get you back on track. An increase or decrease to your food intake or work output through strength and cardio training may be suggested here if not on course.

3. Sleep and recovery strategies

Most fitness newbs can also wash out from their quest to shed those pounds because of drastic drops in energy levels. Late night channel surfing in front of your TV is, often, a common cause for not getting enough rest. Staving off sleep for another hour beyond your normal shut eye to find out “who dunnit” will not make stripping that fat off your body any easier. By depriving yourself of sleep, you are not allowing your body to develop those fat burning muscle tissues necessary to accomplishing your goal. With a lack of sleep comes a lack of desire to push hard. No push=No change.

There is such a thing as “too much of a good thing.” Overtraining, in an attempt to cancel out all those days of not exercising, will only lead to you overworking yourself to the point of adrenal fatigue. That fatigue will only eat away at your intentions and kill any notion of making it a point of hitting the gym.

Aim for eight hours of sleep a night to keep your fitness program realistic. If need be, seek the help of a coach to assist you when assessing possible stumbling blocks on your way to success.

4. Assertiveness training

While your intentions may be wholehearted, keep in mind that results take time. Everyone in the world is extremely busy, elbow deep with commitments. Sometimes an over commitment of time is a challenge and this is when learning to say “NO” becomes essential to your success. It’s not selfishness we’re talking about here, but more about being realistic and committed to the goals we have set.

Making time for follow through should take priority over all those so called “personal obligations” that always seem to pop up at the most inopportune times. Don’t let that distract you from your target. If a situation comes up demanding you volunteer your personal time, pass on it. Stress management is learning how to say “NO”. You should’nt feel guilty about saying “no”. Your decision should be respected. Ask yourself where these feelings of guilt come from. Rid yourself of that unnecessary emotional baggage.

Life coaches and business advisors are helpful guides for those who need help identifying their strong points and weaknesses. They’ll help you work around your foibles and get you working optimally.

5. How to add 2 hours to a 24 hour day

Root out all the menial tasks in your daily routine and figure out a way to outsource them. Any thing from car maintenance to lawn work to grocery shopping can be delegated to someone with less responsibility, more free time and perhaps a vocation towards that particular task. By dishing off these errands, not only are you saving time, but you are also freeing up time in your schedule to perhaps “de-stress” with a relaxing massage or even some yoga.

6. Pick a time, gym or workout that fits your needs first, not someone else’s

For the many of us out there with all kinds of time restraints, finding time to hit the gym proves to be the hardest challenge. Workouts that reduce your stress levels are ideal. Unfortunately, during the first few months of resolution chasing when everyone is at their fiercest, it is common to find yourself in jammed conditions. Long commutes to and from the gym, crowded parking lots and rush hour gym crowds at the cardio machines can do damage to a person’s desire.

Start by joining a gym that is no more than fifteen minutes away from your home or work. Then get yourself a personal trainer to help you as your buffer when you get that urge to speed through or cut short your work out. That personal trainer will keep you focused and away from those chit chats with acquaintances that eat up more time than you had anticipated.

Personal trainers can also function as life coaches or mentors by passing onto you their knowledge and experiences. They are the ones, who are going to make it their mission to keep you focused and accountable every step of the way. They’ll be that voice of reason in your head telling you to snap out of your laziness- where you’ll be less likely to procrastinate and talk yourself out of the workouts.

Training in a private facility or in the great outdoors at a Naked Commando boot camp or a Super cardio maxed out session or even at home using bodyweight exercises can be viable option. Staying committed with a plan and being dutiful with your approach will make for a successful training session. Go at your own speed.

However, if you rather team up with a likeminded friend- try to avoid partnering up with someone that may be at a more advanced fitness level. You may be benefitting from the partnership, but, more than likely, they will not see enough benefits from the workouts to make it worth their time and effort. Adversely, pushing yourself to their limits may result in overtraining which could lead to serious injury or discouragement from unfair comparisons. Stick to your fitness routine long enough and you will naturally meet other likeminded training partners.

Less than five percent will stick to their fitness commitments—will you beat the odds?

What’s the RETURN of you investment? HEALTH IS WEALTH.

Feeling flat lately… completely devoid of energy like a balloon without any air in it? Do you lack that sense of urgency? Do you resort to highly caffeinated supplements like Red Bull or double espresso shots just to give you wings? If you’ve answered “yes” then more than likely you are experiencing the body blues.

So, with all the items on the list you wish to resolve in the upcoming weeks… how are you going to attack it when you feel like you’re running on empty? After all, what we set out to do at the beginning of the year has much to do with our success, wouldn’t you agree?

As we wait to ring in the New Year, work slows to a crawl and I’m finally in the tail end of my offseason, making slight adjustments to my own sugar induced holiday splurge-THANK GOODNESS!. Yes, I’m right there with you. After twelve months of serious dieting, I took the liberty to indulge my sweet tooth just like you. Fair enough. However, after weeks of living “rock star” large on anything and everything peppermint bark, I know that I have MORE than satisfied my need for sugar.

The feel good serotonin rush will be all but a memory and nothing in comparison to the crash and crappy feelings of addiction, withdrawal, and cravings we’re left to deal with. Let’s not mention the bouts of emotional and physical stress associated with carrying around that extra added weight, not much fun either, is it?

“You are what you eat”

Sure, getting people to do what they don’t want to do can be difficult. And more often than not, the urge to splurge goes deep into the New Year which can then lead you right into spring… summer, and then you’re back full circle in a feverish vicious cycle. Nothing that you don’t already know.

However, I personally know that I have officially started to feel the ill effects of my carb addiction… believe it or not; carrying excess pounds of weight can make a big difference when it comes to moving the body even on a small frame. When I find myself out of breath at the start of a workout, I’m no longer functioning properly.

So, if the sugar overload is robbing you from the ability to live life–perform your day to day activities or if the few jolts of espresso no longer keep you from wanting to take a nose dive, wouldn’t it be reason enough to say… “Enough”?

Isn’t it time to face the uphill battle of shedding those ‘drag you down’ pounds? Not easy you say? Never said it was. If it was we wouldn’t be living in a fat world- yes, obesity is global. However, for me it’s enough to go cold turkey. I know I like to feel alive-POWERFUL! disciplined- in control. I like to wake up ready to charge. I like to feel like I can meet the demands of the day – that means I need to be alert and awake and ready for anything that comes my way.

Act as if you are the person you want to be.

Simple, we face it or go off the cliff.  We put on those pounds knowing full well the damage it would wreak upon us… I face it; time to wo-man up! Needless to say, it’s not going to be easy, probably somewhat painful, but as long we remain patient we will overcome with triumph. Thankfully, by slightly adjusting our caloric intake and most important, staying physically active– that means getting back into the gym (or  your playground of choice) regularly, those extra holiday pounds will fall off in no time.

If you’ve haven’t learned anything with your current or past experiences, learn this: don’t procrastinate and put this off! Procrastination is the biggest killer. As you may know, procrastination is “putting off today, what we think we’ll eventually get to tomorrow” tomorrow is NOW!

Are you ready to start feeling alive?

If you find yourself in a rut try seeking the help of an expert. One of the biggest mistakes anyone can make IS TO TRY TO LOSE FAT WITHOUT PROPER INSTRUCTION!

Not enough time… not enough money…If you think about it, people spend all kinds of time and money on things in life that really don’t help their wellbeing… such as junk food, alcohol, cigarettes even drugs, all which tear down health rather than build it up. Unfortunately, people spend more money and time on these things rather than their livelihoods. Some people spend money on supplements, which is good; however without the proper program supplementation can’t do much! Useless.

Support goes a long way. A few sessions with a professional can get you going in the right direction. What harm would it do to get some correct instruction every so often? Imagine having someone to call anytime to answer any questions you have? Someone to hold you accountable? Think of how much time and effort you can save. Having someone show you exactly what to do to lose weight is exactly what you need. Yes, you can try to enlist the help of a friend but nine times out of ten that’s sure to leave you back where you started.

By reading this post, you’ve already taken your first steps towards evolving. So let’s stop hiding behind excuses. Take charge!! I’m going to shed those pounds and so will you. This is what we like to call “putting skin in the game!” Let’s get on it and get moving!

Foods that help peel off the fat

Let’s start off with the most important aspect of any fat burning routine – your diet! Here is my personal “A-list” of fat burning carb foods that are sure to satisfy the most ravenous of cravings.  Although the mix-and-match combinations of foods are endless, these are the staple foods that make up a carbohydrate template of any healthy program. You can’t go wrong with any of these choices plus they are tasty enough to keep you coming back to time after time.
 
Oatmeal
 
Truly, the breakfast of champs – this is, far and away, my #1 “anytime” food choice for a complex-starchy carbohydrate in a fat loss program. Initially, not love at first bite, but after a few sit-downs, you’ll be loving it in no time!

Now that I have to take charge of the driver’s seat, I use oatmeal as the one carb that quench all my sweet tooth cravings. It is the one complex carb that I rely on to keep my sanity as well as get me back on track for my pre-con season.

I can only speak on behalf of figure athletes, but it’s safe to say that oatmeal is a staple in most every athlete’s diet. What makes it so great? Well, it’s a starchy carbohydrate that has a perfect balance of carbohydrates, protein and “good fat” – yes, there is such a thing!

A half cup of oatmeal contains 1 gram of fat, 29 grams of carbohydrates and 5 grams worth of protein. This balanced composition of protein and fat makes for a very slow released carb – precisely what a person, who strives to get lean and mean, should look for in a food. Make sure you opt for the real stuff too. Choose the all natural oats, whether it be the crushed, cut, or rolled variety. Anything from old-fashioned oats (Quaker works too) or, preferably, the quick multi-grain oats to steel cut oats are ideal.

Stay away from the sugar sweetened and or flavored oatmeal packets. There are several ways to spice up a bowl of oatmeal and make it tasty enough to be considered a treat. If you really need that flavoring, try adding stevia with a bit of cinnamon for a sweeter taste. After it has been cooked, you can also stir in a scoop of your favorite protein powder to add flavor and complete your meal.

If you’re looking for consistency in your porridge, then I suggest adding some crushed walnuts and or flaxseeds to your oats. Not only are they delicious and crunchy, but they also provide you with those desirable “good fats” I mentioned earlier.

Head over to your local health food store and pick up some barley, wheat, rye, oat bran and or flax cereals. There are even multi-grain combinations of the aforementioned available for purchase as well. After a month or so of substituting this staple into my diet as my carb supplement, I quickly found it to be my favorite food. Oatmeal ably satisfied any and all of my carb cravings especially during my tense pre-contest schedule. It will leave you energized and satisfied.
 
Yams | Sweet potatoes

Next to oatmeal, yams and sweet potatoes are a close second on my list of favorite carb foods.  Yams and sweet potatoes are a complete package. They’re sweet, full of flavor, all-natural, low in calories and chalked full of nutrients and antioxidants like beta-carotene. It’s really no wonder why they’re one of the most popular carbs consumed in the world. Nothing compares with a yam.

Although the glycemic index is a secondary factor when making carb choices on the M2 Fat Loss program, it should be given more weight in your choices if you are carb sensitive or if you are on a very strict diet (similar to a contest diet).

Yams are, without a doubt, the best. Sweet potatoes are not exactly the same as yams as they are slightly higher on the glycemic index. Otherwise, sweet potatoes are still excellent choices for fat burning diets because they excel at slowing down the rate in which glucose is released and absorbed into your bloodstream thereby sustaining your energy levels longer and helping you dodge the fatigue slump.

Combine a yam with a green veggie, chicken breast, lean red meat or fish and you’ve got yourself a perfect fat-burning, muscle building, metabolism boosting meal. Bonus!

Oh! And ladies, these taters will fill you up without filling in those waistlines! Added bonus!
 
“Potatoes”

Whether they are russet, white or red, I try to avoid implementing potatoes into my fat loss programs. The reason being is that they are more susceptible to being accentuated with butters, creams and other condiments, which all make for super rich, calorie dense meals. However, and there always is one, potatoes do meet every criteria set for a great carbohydrate. Potatoes are all-natural complex carbs rich in vitamins as well as a good source of fiber and minerals. They also happen to be quite filling and low in calories. Eat it dry or top it with your favorite salsa and you definitely can’t go wrong.

Another reason fat loss programs tend to omit the potato has to do with its lofty ranking on the glycemic index. This ranking entails that potatoes have a high tendency of being absorbed as blood sugars in a rapid manner. This is what gives you that sudden burst of energy, but also results in a hard crash as that energy leaves you just as fast.

It should be noted; however, when you eat your potato as a whole meal with your choice of lean protein, the glycemic index of the entire meal is much lower. Also keep in mind that some white potatoes are higher on the index than others. Russet or “baking” potatoes are higher in amylose, a slow releasing starch, so the glycemic index is lower. If you happen to be extremely carb sensitive or hypoglycemic, then you might want to opt for yams or sweet potatoes.

Brown Rice

Brown rice is another solid whole grain staple food for both in-season and off-season regimens. This is another ancient food falling within our 3,000 year timeline. Why brown? The conversion from brown to white destroys most of its nutritional value thereby stripping a considerable amount of vitamins, all of the dietary fiber, and essential fatty acids, which results in a highly processed and refined grain.

For those of you on healthy meal plans, you may want to avoid any style of rice dish you might find served in Asian restaurants. These are usually loaded with sugar enriched ingredients. You can also substitute your sushi rolls with homemade protein rolls and brown rice. My best picks of the many choices of rice would be the slow-cooked brown or basmati. I always prefer to boil and simmer. If you absolutely must, the instant pre-cooked rice comes in handy when you’re in a time crunch. They make for quick eats and even quicker digestion.

100% whole wheat and whole grain products

The M2 Fat Loss program uses these bread products as part of the “baseline diet” on one condition – they must be made from 100% whole grains. Somewhere on the labeling, it should read, “100% whole wheat” or “100% whole grain” as the first ingredient.
White bread and anything made out of white flour is highly refined and therefore not allowed in any quantity on a fat loss program except for the occasional planned “cheat meal”. If you are particularly carb-sensitive, bread, of any variety, is one of the first things to go from your daily diet. A small handful of people will have an extreme sensitivity to the gluten in wheat. Gluten is a protein found in wheat products. Similar to the effects of lactose intolerance from dairy products, gluten intolerance can cause digestive difficulties and bloating in certain individuals.

On very strict fat loss diets, wheat and bread products are usually eliminated completely. Generally speaking, however, 100% whole wheat and other whole grains are perfectly acceptable additions to a healthy diet for long term body composition control. It just depends on how “strict” you want or need to be with your nutrition.

Greens

Fibrous carbs are your number one choice for fat burning carbohydrates and green vegetables the most popular of the group. Because green vegetables have a low caloric density, it is virtually impossible to over-eat. You can eat as much of them as you want, any time you want…well, at least later on in the day. A diet of green vegetables combined with lean proteins is one of the best methods of getting lean as quickly as possible.

Fresh Fruit

Whole fruits are great. These tend to my “limited” sweets on season. Granted, a diet of mostly complex carbohydrates will give you better results than a diet of predominantly simple carbohydrates. Do not take this to mean that fruit is “fattening”. In actuality, most fruits are low in calories, high in fiber and low in carbohydrate grams, at least when compared to starches.

Raisins are a particular fruit terse with calories and best avoided when you’re on a strict fat loss program or your calorie allotment is small. Fruits like apples, peaches, grapefruits, and oranges are a great addition to almost any nutritional plan. Just make sure the majority of your carbohydrates are of the complex type. Keep in mind, an all-fruit or mostly fruit diet won’t be nearly as effective for fat loss.

How to lose weight is a dilemma millions of women are trying to resolve. But despite a lot of hard work and trying one thing after another, nothing really enables them to accomplish their goals. What’s the problem?

Many of us grew up being told there are no absolutes – no guarantees. And, to a degree, it’s true; life is loaded with things that throw us off course. But those who succeed have learned that if they persist, despite distractions, they’ll usually get what they want. However, there are some situations where we keep going despite distractions, work diligently at accomplishing our goals, and nothing really seems to work. Finding a weight loss program that really works is one of those situations.

Many women try one weight loss program after another – they exercise, sometimes every day, and sometimes even with a trainer. They’re constantly on the look-out for a better diet, better weight loss supplements; they may even try drugs or surgery. Some solutions don’t work at all, some work a little, and some work a lot – but only for a little while.

What’s the problem? When you’re gaining weight, or can’t seem to lose it, there’s a reason for it. And as with everything else in life – from feeling tired or having an aching back to not being able to organize your desk, your schedule or your life – weight problems don’t permanently resolve unless you find out exactly why it’s happening and do something about it.

Unfortunately, you can’t do that with any old weight loss program. They’re generic – one size fits all. They don’t isolate why you, specifically, are gaining or can’t lose weight. Sure, you may be one of the lucky few a generic program is right for but most people will find themselves looking for other solutions in the not-too-distant future.

What is the key to success? What is the magic weight loss program? It’s one that’s tailored specifically for you. It’s a program with a fitness trainer who knows all about all the programs you’ve already tried, knows what’s good about them, what’s bad about them, understands the body – your body, not just bodies in general – works out a weight loss program just for you, continues to work with you to keep you on track, makes sure things keep working, and changes your program as you change and progress. It’s a real hands-on process. There’s nothing generic about it.

Is it hard to find? Well, if you could just find it at any corner gym or in the health and fitness section of the local bookstore, there wouldn’t be millions of women still searching for a solution.

One size fits all doesn’t work with weight loss. If you’re serious about it, if you want to resolve your problems once and for all, if you want your body to be fit and athletic well into your later years and be an asset instead of a liability, you need to find a fitness trainer who really understands all answers to the question of how to lose weight and works out a weight loss program that is tailored just for you. It might cost a bit more than your local gym but how much have you spent already on things that didn’t work? And, hey, if it wasn’t important you wouldn’t still be looking for a solution. Right?
