    There are books that show you how to do exercises while you're sitting at your desk or watching TV. They're designed mainly for the disabled who have trouble doing regular exercises, but they help tone your muscles and keep you flexible. They don't do much for cardiovascular fitness, but they will help you shape up.

    Also, if you drink soda or eat a lot of sugary stuff, wean yourself off of them. (Even diet sodas will keep the pounds on.) I took myself off all soda and high sugar/sodium foods and lost 45 pounds in less than a year. Read food labels because there is a LOT of hidden sugar in foods that you wouldn't think contained the stuff.

    Hope this helps.

    Top weight loss tips

    Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.

    * Be in right frame of mind

    Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.

    * Eat whole food

    Top weight loss tips

    Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.

    * Eat fresh fruit

    Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.

    * Drink enough water

    Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.

    * Always chew your food

    Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.

    * Take small meals

    Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.

    * Include protein at meal

    Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

    * Shut off TV while eating

    Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

    * Increase your physical activity

    Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.

    Cut out all carbs, eat a bunch of fiber in the morning (so you can poo), and eat nothing else but pure protein the rest of the day (lots of little meals to speed the metabolism).

    If you can exercise, cardio to lose calories. Weight Training actually speeds up your metabolism too.

    Cut out all sodas, drink nothin but water, eat fruit.

    Don't drink alcohol.

    I lost six pounds in a week like this.

    Losing weight takes no time. Site has way to do it giving you EXTRA time in your day. Toning takes very little time. Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.

    But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.

    So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.

    Do a colon cleanse. Don't eat after 6pm (a must). Take a teaspon of apple cider vinegar mixed with water before each meal. Stay away from fast foods, white flour, white sugar, dairy, high fructose syrup, SODA.

    Hi

    Try this simple plan it really works so here goes,

    If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.

    Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx

    Start having non stop blistering sex everyday! It is fun and it is good exercise. You need to be on top so you can work more and burn more calories. Try doing inverted romanian squats, the african wheelbarrow, the craig, and forward and reverse rodeo. Good luck. . and good banging.
