/in /by

1. DON’T HANG AROUND UNMOTIVATED OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE

  • We tend to share in the same habits as our friends.
  • Find fit motivated people with like-minded goals.
  • Create an environment where your chances for success are greater.

2. NEVER EAT FAST FOOD AGAIN

  • Not only will it make you fat, but the chemicals from flavoring are toxic and harmful to the body.
  • Colon cancer should be a great concern to the fast food consumer.
  • No nutritional value at all, dead calories that are just stored as fat.

3. EXERCISE EVERYDAY

  • For general overall fitness, functional circuit training is the best choice.
  • Duration and intensity should vary.
  • A minimum 500 calorie workout should be done daily, this means unfit people have to exercise longer.

4. NEVER EAT PACKAGED PROCESSED FOODS

  • If you can not pronounce the ingredient, don’t eat it.
  • If the food did not require any cooking or preparation, don’t eat it.
  • Most foods in a grocery store are not foods at all; shop the perimeter.
  • Artificial and natural flavoring are not good things.
  • Examples of bad choices are: bologna, Kraft dinner, Eggo waffles, white bread, almost every boxed cereal.

5. ADD SOMETHING IN/GIVE SOMETHING UP

  • A small change can make a difference over the course of a year.

  • Carbs, protein and fat can be good or bad for you. It depends on your food choices.
