Question: What tips do you have to lose weight?

Answer:

1. Eat little and often - 3 meals and two or three small snacks in between is ideal as this will ensure that your blood sugar levels don't drop which could lead to you wanting to reach for a high calorie, high sugar snack for a quick fix.
2. Eat enough food. Don’t let your calorie intake drop below 1000 calories. You might lose weight initally but eventually your body will go into starvation mode and will hold on to fat.
3. Always eat breakfast. It will kick-start your metabolism.
4. Get plenty of exercise (both cardio-vascular and weight training). Your CV workout will burn lots of calories while you are exercising. Weight training will ensure your resting metabolic rate will increase, meaning you will burn more calories than before even when your sitting watching tv or sleeping !
