    For fat loss - heavy weight training. For weight loss - calories in and out

    Its been pretty easy for me! The four most critical factors for me are:

    a) Use a food scale, measuring spoons & cups
    b) Log all your food every morning, keeps you on track
    c) Cut out all fast, processed and refined foods as much as possible as they have extraordinary high doses of sodium and fats
    d) Opt for complex not simple carbs

    .... and of course:

    a) Lots of exercise
    b) Lots of water

    (Sorry its not one item)

    Don't think that hours of exercise is going to burn bodyfat off of you...you can't out exercise a bad diet.

    d) Opt for simple not complex carbs

    Really? I'd say the other way around!

    Cut out processed crap. Seriously--- processed food is, in my opinion, the reason most of us gained weight to begin with by addicting us to food. We always joked as kids that Coca Cola still had cocaine in it... or friends have said, "Jack in the box has crack in their burgers" or "Chipotle must have crack" and honestly I think that there must be some truth to this because we really do get addicted to the food unfortunately. I truly believe the big food corps actually put things INTO foods that they KNOW will make our bodies crave it. Wanna lose weight? Eat whole natural foods like fruits and veggies and as little processed foods as possible.

    I couldn't agree with you more. I believe that too. :drinker:

    Be sure to get in at least 8-8 ounces of water a day. And add an extra cup for every 10 pounds you want to get rid of.
