miss fit's tips to losing weight safely

When losing weight, exercise good judgment

• Be realistic- in your expectations. An initial goal of 5 to 10% of your overall body weight is achievable.
• Take is slow- lose no more than 1 to 2 pounds per week. You will take off the weight safely and keep it off!
• Eat often and slowly- 3 healthy meals and l or 2 snacks. Snacks should be less than 150 calories, not a mini meal.
• Cut back on sugar and sodium- read the label or better yet cook healthy, whole grained, vegetable based meals.
• Water, water, water- stay hydrated. No soda not even diet.
  
• Use weight training to build muscle. Muscle burns fat!
• Cut back on fats. No fried foods. None, at all.
• Vary the intensity of your exercise. Your body adapts to what you do. Challenge it, surprise it. Interval training is the key to fat loss.

Let me know how you are doing. This weekend I'll be at the Mt. Hood Scramble.
