Thanks for coming back to read another post. The most important aspect of getting healthy is to begin a healthy diet, so we will begin with eating. Many people skip breakfast because they think they are being healthy by cutting out those morning calories but in reality, this will slow your metabolism and cause you to eat more throughout the day. Eating a good healthy breakfast in extremely important.
The Biggest Loser's Jillian Michael's says: Managing your weight isn't about just cutting calories. It's about getting more of the good stuff you need like whole grain. Here's a tip: Add Multi-Grain Cheerios to your morning routine. Studies show that people who eat more whole grain tend to have healthier body weights. Multi-Grain Cheerios have 5 whole grains and 110 lightly sweetened calories per serving. In fact, Multi-Grain Cheerios and The Biggest Loser have teamed up to help YOU reach your goals. Specially marked boxes include a 7-plan featuring recipes, workouts, and motivation for your weight loss journey. Forget Wheaties, this is the Breakfast of Champions!!
Those Last 5 Pounds
Let's face it--those last 5 pounds are the hardest to lose, but why? The answer to this is simple. During the weight loss journey, people find a niche when it comes to exercising, whether it be a certain program on the elliptical, 3 miles on the treadmill, or 10 lunges holding 40 pounds. So why doesn't it work anymore for these last 5 pounds?! Because your body has gotten so used to these repetitious workout that it no longer responds to it. These workouts were certainly very difficult when you first began but as you progress, your workouts also need to progress. Instead of doing 3 miles you need to do 4 or 5 or 6, you need to gradually up levels up on the elliptical, and you need to add more weight to your lunges. It's important to mix up your routine so your body doesn't become accustomed to your typical workout. It's going to stop working!!

It is quite annoying to hear excuses as to why people can't burn any calories. NOBODY is too busy to get healthy. Whether it's just a few minutes here or a few minutes there, you can squeeze in some body weight exercises--planks, crunches, push-ups, etc. Even these exercises are a step in the right direction. Everybody has some point in their day where they can fit in a workout. It might be early in the morning or late in the evening but committing to a healthy lifestyle is key. You might want to consider joining a 24 hour gym if you struggle to find free time during typical open hours. To get started, here is a list of things to do at home or in the office to burn calories. No more excuses!
