How to Eat!
How do you Eat?
Do you know what to eat?
These questions need some clarification.
Eating 6-8 small meals per day is a great way to speed up that metabolism and burn extra calories. How? When you eat your body digests the food, this process fires up the metabolism and creates some fat burning.
So would it make sense to eat more frequently, to create this fat burning effect more often throughout the day? You bet!
What to eat is another common item which is pondered. It is important to eat low glycemic, high fibre foods as often as possible. Low glycemic, high fibre foods, create a full feeling and sustain your glucose stores at healthy level.
Low glycemic options include... Fruits/Veggies. Legumes, Beans, Whole Grains, Nuts, Popcorn, Oatmeal etc..
Try adding these foods in your food plan to reduce weight, tone up and feel healthier!

Exercise Tips!
Exercise Tips!
Cellulite. We all know what it looks like, but misconceptions prevail. The first thing you should know is that, in the true medical sense, cellulite is simply plain old fat. Yet it does have one defining characteristic—a dimpled, cottage-cheese, orange-peel look.
Here’s why: Everybody has connective tissue that separates fat cells into compartments. While men tend to have horizontal or crisscross patterns to those compartments, women’s compartments have a honeycomb appearance, giving fat a greater chance to protrude or bulge, hence the cottage-cheese effect.
As a result, women are more likely to develop cellulite than men, mainly around the hips and thighs. However, men can develop the condition, too. Although cellulite becomes more noticeable with age, largely because the skin gets thinner over time, it generally strikes individuals in their 30s. Of course, not everybody will develop cellulite in their lifetime. That’s because genetics determines where your fat cells are and how many fat cells you have. Activity level is another crucial factor associated with cellulite. If you exercise regularly, you’ll decrease your odds of developing cellulite, or if you do, the dimpled look won’t be quite as pronounced.
To a lighter note!

May 5th - Summer is coming!!
We are now into May and Summer is around the corner!
Time to ramp up the cardio and eat right!
Eating right is a combination of the following......
Proteins at every meal, less salt(sodium) at each meal, less fat content at each meal.
Work on those three things first.
Exercise Tips
Don't do too much the 1st two weeks. Work up to it!
Your intensity needs to increase, don't lift the same weights or stick to the same cardio ( your body becomes to efficient = no results)
