| There is no magic diet or book. Just watch portion sizes and nutritional content. Try to add natural fiber to your diet. Drink plenty of water. Exercise.
Track your current calories and reduce that amount. I am a believer of the "calories in" vs "calories out" theory for weight loss. Excess calories is what causes weight gain. Reduced will help reduce weight along with exercise to boost your metabolism and increase muscle mass.
Muscle will burn more calories than fat tissue any day. So, start walking or start moving in some way every day. |
