    The trick is to stay on a high protein diet that muscles need to grow. Eat lean meats like chicken breast and turkey. Eggs are very high protein as well. Try to avoid processed foods, foods high in sugar and try to cut back on carbs. Exercise every day for at least 30 minutes. I would alternate weight training and some type of aerobic exercise like running. Good Luck!

    The best way to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight is through changing your eating habits and exercising regularly. 1. Choose whole grains. 2. Drink plenty of water. 3. Choose lean meats and fish. 4. Know the portion sizes for your calorie target. 5. Limit fats to an average of 15 grams per meal. 6. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible. 7. Work out for no less that 45 minutes, 4-5 days a week. 8. Select foods with less than 3 grams of fat per 100 calories. 9. Choose pretzels, baked chips, fat-free popcorn instead of fries and chips. 10. Avoid foods with partially hydrogenated oils, trans-fats and high-fructose corn syrup. 11. Choose cereal, bread, crackers or chips that contain 2 or more grams of fiber per 100 calories. 12. Choose fat-free or low-fat variety of foods especially when it comes to dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt).
