Tips
95% of weight loss clinic clients (i.e. Weight Watches, Jenny Craig) are heavier one year after joining (ISSA, 2004). In order to achieve long-lasting success, it is critical to develop your fitness (strength and aerobic training), as well as maintain a healthy diet.
There are three proven ways to reduce body fat:
1. Increase aerobic excercise in order to raise your metabolism.
2. Devise a resistence training program to increase lean muscle. Lean muscle burns fat while the body is at rest.
3. Develop healthy eating habits that you can live with, with an emphasis on lowering fat intake.
Maintaining your physical fitness will become second-nature when you make it your lifestyle!
