How to lose weight and get fit - for life

1.	CUT OUT PROCESSED FOODS - prepared foods generally contain many high-calorie/unhealthy additives, such as sugar and high fructose corn syrup, MSG, artificial flavors and colors, and preservatives. Eliminating (or minimizing) these in your diet is the first step to healthy weight loss.
2.	EAT 5-6 SMALL MEALS A DAY - When you deprive yourself of calories, the first thing that occurs is a decrease in your metabolic rate. The lower your calories, the slower your metabolism becomes. When you eat more, your body burns more. Your goal should be to eat approximately every three hours.
3.	TRAIN WITH WEIGHTS - To help your body burn fat and maintain as much lean body mass as possible, you have to engage in resistance training. Muscle is your metabolic furnace. The more you have, the more calories you burn.
4.	EXERCISE, NOT DIET - The most effective way to lose fat is to eat more and exercise to burn the fat. You don’t have tostarve yourself. Just choose the right foods and make exercise a part of your lifestyle.
5.	LOSE 1-2 LBS. PER WEEK - The best way to lose fat permanently without muscle loss is to lose weight slowly. You should lose no more than two pounds per week. Be patient.
