Weight Loss Tips

* Did you know that simply changing the temperature of the water you drink can speed up your metabolism and burn more calories? Drink hot water!

* Did you know that foods like bran cereal are more dense and will make you more full because your body cannot digest fiber?

* Did you know that certain foods like rice work very well with liquids to expand in your stomach making you more satisfied?

* Did you know that if you cut 3 tablespoons of butter per day from your diet you could drop 1 pound every 12 days just for not eating butter? Let's hope you don't actually eat 3 tablespoons of butter every day though!!!!

Fat Loss versus Muscle Loss


* To lose body fat you must eat fewer calories than your body burns off, so EAT LESS -- but you must NOT starve yourself, otherwise you will lose more muscle than fat!

* Start eating 5-6 meals per day (space them out to about one every 3 hours). You are eating more often, but not necessarily more.

* Increase your protein intake. Without protein your body cannot build new muscle. Protein also helps to increase your metabolism - which burns calories.

* Increase you water intake. A good formula for this is to multiply your bodyweight by .66 to get the required number of ounces per day
