Cardio & Diet for Weight Loss

The process of losing weight is one which takes time and consistency. The
extra weight was not put on over night therefore, be patient while trying
to take it off. Allow yourself 12 weeks to adequately remove unwanted body
fat by using a low fat, low carb diet. This program will include a formidable amount of cardio in the form of the treadmill, life cycle, precor machine or recliner cycles. I suggest if your plan is to reduce body fat, that you adjust your diet first by eating more protein and less fats while simultaneously increasing your cardio from a beginning of 30 mins a day 5 days a week for two weeks, to 45 min a day for 4 weeks. Ultimately doing carido 2 times a day for 45 min a session for 4 weeks and winding back down to cardio 30 min a day for 2 weeks. By the end of 12 weeks you should be able to reach your desired goal, as well as have lean muscle from the weight training sessions. Your choices of protein should include:

*Skinless chicken, egg whites, fish, lean beef, tuna, turkey and exclude
protein shakes their loaded with sodium which makes you retain water. When
speaking of low carbs, this does not mean "NO CARBS!" By low I mean, get
your complex carbs in early and taper off as the day wears on. Oats, Brown
Rice, potatoes, pasta, and yams are your best sources of complex carbs to
be ingested by 2 pm. Switch to veggies and salads after you've gotten mid
way through your day as your body will burn off the carbs you've ingested
and by bed time will feed off the body fat left over. Continue to keep
your protein levels high and consume large quantities of water to flush
your system in between meals.

*Add vitamins and minerals to compensate foe any deficiencies you may have
due to your limited choices of foods.

*Use non-stick sprays with no sodium or calories to cook with. Do not add
anything to your meals except natural seasoning and flavors like tomatoes,
garlic, onion, bell peppers and no sodium seasoning.

*There is nothing you "Cannot have" however, if it's off your diet let me
suggest you have it once a week and early in the day so you can burn some
of it off. Be active and out enjoy it, then get right back on your diet and
cardio!

*I don't make specific diets because we are all different but we basically
through trial and error eat the same foods and use the same tools. Find
what works best for you and stay with it long enough to get results!

Did she get offended when you handed it to her? My ex wife would have asked me if I thought she was getting fat!
