To lose weight while maintaining a healthy metabolism, focus on:
-Loss of body fat
-Losing inches instead of weight
-Eating five to seven meals a day
-Eat an hour to an hour and a half before you work out to fuel your muscles and prevent muscle loss
-Strength training to maintain or add muscle along with cardiovascular exercise (Too much cardio can be counterproductive. Do no more than 45 minutes/5-6 days a week.)
-Take proper supplements when necessary
-Most of all, it is important not to be hard on yourself. Create a plan that you will stick with for the rest of your life. Allow yourself one cheat day (Unless that day last longer than a day-if that is the case act like an alcoholic-STICK WITH THE PROGRAM 24/7.) a week so you do not feel completely deprived of your favorite foods.
AND STAY OFF THE SCALE!!!
