  • Your body is used to skipping meals. Carve out the 10 minutes you need to get a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Allow yourself 20 minutes mid day to get lunch, even if it is something small, a yogurt, protein bar, sandwich and soup. After you start to nourish your body throughout the day, you will find yourself hungry for…

  • I'm a month into my transformation and I, too, have been very disillusioned about how quickly I see results (or not see results). What I keep coming back to is that, sure, I might not see results now or even a few weeks from now. The body is a strange thing. But your efforts do make a difference. If you eat better, you…

  • Go to YouTube and watch some episodes of "SuperSized vs SuperSkinny." It's a show from the UK about the extremes in eating. Perhaps it will give you an idea about portion control and what you are putting in your body. I have found it very motivating.

  • I've done 20 minute HIITs and 45 minute HIITs. It's what you have time for that matters. I agree with the previous person on Fitness Blender (YouTube channel. They have amazing workout videos and I'm completely hooked on them). Your work schedule and personal demands will set when you have to workout. If your wife wants to…

  • When you lose weight, you can't just take it from one area. Your body will take fat stores from around the body so focusing all your attention on one type of exercise won't work to shed pounds in that one area. Oh, you'll tone up the muscles but the fat burned will come from everywhere, not just there. Trying alternating…

  • You've got to have some tricks up your sleeve. Great trick number one: muscle confusion. Change your exercises, even if it's switching the duration and then difficulty. Throw a new routine in there. Build some extra muscle mass that will help you burn more fat in the long run. Not only does it keep your body guessing, but…

  • Do not use anybody's opinion about diet and exercise regimes during YOUR pregnancy. Not only is every person different, every pregnancy is different. You are not dealing with just your health anymore, there is a developing human in there and if you want to do what is best for yourself and it, follow the advice of your…

  • If it looks like a duck... Venus Factor shills continue to post on legitimate workout videos on YouTube. "Do you ever hate diet programs that don't allow you to consume the foods you love? Me too! That is why I was so fascinated by The Venus Factor diet system. Right after watching a video clip regarding it, I realized I…

  • I'm feeling rather defeated as well. I've been maintaining a diet and exercise regimen that should have resulted in a few pounds lost over the last two weeks but my weight is steady. The people I trust say to just keep at it. The only thing keeping me from just going out and drowning my sorrows in junk food is the fact…
