Research shows HIIT burns more fat, and steady state can actually stall your weight loss after the fist few weeks. I do some steady state because I am planning a long bike trip, and want to build endurance for that trip. However if I was just working for fitness or fat burn, I would do only HIIT. I use a pyramid system…

I have practiced Lent for years, really appreciate 6 weeks of self discipline. Every year I give up sugar. But then every year I also give up something else. This year, all diet pop, and eating out. I also agree with the person who wrote about doing something good as well as giving something up. I am increasing my…

The TNT Diet book has an excellent workout program in it. This book was originally written for a male audience, but don't let that scare you . Most of the exercises can be done at home and it is a 30 min workout. You can choose to pay attention to the nutritional info, or just skip right to the workouts. The workouts are…

Weight lifting actually burns more fat then cardio, but I like having the level of…

Google "Fat Fast" This sounds like a fad diet, but there is actually a lot of science here. This "ketogenic" diet was 1st used to help children with epilepsy. Also google authors Jeff Volek, Steven Phinney, and Dana Carpender. If you have the self discipline to eat this way, you will lose body fat and not lean muscle. Good…

I am 57 and have lost 75 lbs so far

Try this for me GB!

Thank you!

I love Walk Away the Pounds! It's very easy to follow - I'm not very coordinated, so a lot of workout DVDs are hard for me to keep up with. I've been doing it for about 2 months now, along with MFP, and I've lost about 10 lbs per month! At the end of one of her workouts, I feel like I've broken a sweat and burned some…

I am an ICU and trauma bay respiratory therapist. I work 12 hour night shifts, all 3 shifts for the week in a row. I have been working that schedule for 20 years. What works for me is meals that can be eaten in 2-3 min, usually finger food, always healthy. I eat every 3 hours. Ouside of a situation where we have a fresh…
