HERE ARE THE BASICS:

1. you lose weight by consuming fewer Calories than you burn
2. you gain weight by consuming more Calories than you burn.
3. you should be concerned with losing FAT, not weight.
4. You should be more concerned with your percent body fat, not your weight.
5. the best, most effective way or burning fat is by combining weight-training and cardio exercise. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be. You will burn more calories all day long, including while you sleep. A health body fat percentage for males is 7-18%, females 18-24% (approximate numbers).
6. you should eat 6-8 small meals each day - this will prevent you from eating 3 large meal which will slow your metabolism while your body works to digest the large quantity of food.

As a general rule of thumb, you should be weight-training 3-4 times per week and performing cardio 3-5 times per week.

Consider hiring a personal trainer (ISSA certified) and a nutritionist. The money spent on these services is worth more than spending money on pills and potions.

Weight loss is based on a couple things, caloric intake, and metabolic rate. Exercise helps raise your metabolic rate, but if you eat like a human garbage can, you'll never exercise enough to drop the weight. Start by really looking at your diet. Write down what you eat each day. Work from there...go walk 2 miles a day for starters, at a good brisk pace. If you can reduce your intake and step up your exercise by just that little bit each day, you should start to lose some weight.

Download your favourite tracks to work out to. If you’ve committed to a half hour session a day then a 30-minute soundtrack of the very most upbeat, motivating tunes will retain you pumped up!

Ask for your entrée to be served on a bed of greens rather than bed of pasta or mashed carrots.

Intimate, loving, ahem…horizontal physical exercise with the (legal) partner has been proven among the most effective ways to move those calories. So get for it!

Wear comfy shoes so that you can take meetings for a walk rather than sitting at a desk.
