The following healthy living recommendations will help you if your trying to lose weight, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then your consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and log your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly.

I bought a game/workout, about a month ago, called Yourself!Fitness (PS2, XBox or PC) that customizes your workout to your ability. It is never the same and I never get bored. I'm feeling more toned in the waistline already. It also works on leg and arm toning. I love it! It is so much cheaper than a gym membership.
Look it up and read some reviews.
it's a simple solution..not so simple to follow.eat less, excesses more..sounds pretty cut and dry, but it's the only way..instead of eating 3 square meals a day..eat 6 smaller meals through out the day..30-40 Min's of cardio , walking, jogging, stairs, jump rope, spin or aerobic classes etc..you should see the results your looking for.good luck
The short answer - as you probably already know - is diet and exercise. Eat sensibly, with plenty of fruits and veggies (the fiber helps you metabolize), drink lots of water, and take in moderate amounts of carbs, fat, and protein each day. Stay away from processed foods and sugars. As for exercise, you should start by trying to fit in at least 30 minutes of moderate activity a day. This can be walking, bike riding, climbing stairs, etc. Eventually you would want to incorporate resistance training. General healthy habits will start to cut down your waistline where fat is commonly stored first, but remember that you won't see results overnight. Stay away from get-thin-quick gimmicks and diet pills - the only way you'll see lasting results is to change your lifestyle and focus on your overall health. Good Luck!
