  • If calories in= calories out in theory you will not gain or lose weight...there should be a gap, but at the same time you do not want to starve yourself because if that calorie gap is too big you will gain weight (weird huh) your body will store everything you eat because it feels starved...I shoot to be 200-400 calories…

  • If you have a salad you will stay low on the calories! Even with a salad dressing. Dressing should be in a little cup onthe side and you should dip the salad into it rather than slathering it all over the salad(my guilty pleasure..I need to learn to practice what I preach) But a salad would be a good choice...if you have…

  • Zumba is a great work out! The calorie burn is amazing! I was taking 3 classes a week before transfering at work. Trying to get back into the classes, but I have a big commute now. I would say give it a shot and see how your body reacts to it! It's a great time!
