Do you really know what you are putting into your body?

Why is it so easy to gain weight but hard to lose weight for a majority of people?

Do you know that it takes burning 3500 calories to lose 1 lb ?

If you split that up into 7 days you are looking at 700 calories a day you would need to do extra. There is a much easier solution to this, although I do advise bumping your cardio/activity up.

You need to start eating better. Cut out the fast food, sugar, soda, fried foods and substitute them with grilled lean meats, veggies, water, and oats. I promise you, within weeks you will not only start feeling better, you will start looking better.

So next time you are hungry and you get the urge to hit the chain food resturants, look at the list below and see what you are really eating:

How do you expect to feel good if you are eating poorly?  Exercise alone will not get you looking and feeling the way that you want.  The foods alone will make you feel so much better and help you lose weight.  You have to take control of your choices, if you can do this i promise you healthy and happy days.
