\"lose<\/a>Diet, Diet, Diet!! Losing weight is no fun and can be very defeating. But staying motivated and dedicated will\u00a0help you\u00a0persevere in\u00a0the end.\u00a0Your diet is the most important factor in weight loss. I recommend eating smaller portions<\/a>, but eating more often. Focus on variation as well as low fat and low carbohydrate foods, as in the MyPyramid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Exercising or staying physically active should be your\u00a0second main focus. If you are sitting for more than thirty minutes at any one setting, you are doing something wrong. I understand that your everyday life makes it difficult to do so, but do the best you can and go from there.<\/p>\n

I also recommend hitting the cardio<\/a> for at least an hour a day for five days a week. Before cardio, hit the weights for a total body weight training session to deplete the glycogen stores to help burn fat during your bout of cardio. Below is a total body work-out that you can follow. I recommend hitting the weights three days a week right before you do cardio. Try and hit two set of 20 repetitions. Good luck!!<\/p>\n
