I was shifting through old magazines when I came across a Mens Health Magazine from January of this yea. It had a article that was about the 6 Mistakes That Keep You Fat by Lisa Jones.

Lisa stated  “We're not suggesting "The Situation" as a role model. But there is one hard-body lesson you can take from MTV's Jersey Shore loudmouth: The less body fat you carry, the better your abs will show” Funny but true! In summary her article said:

1.     Skipping Meals or Snacks: it messes with your brain so you won’t have the energy to say no to the inevitable chowfest! It said to have a healthy snack or shake.

2.     Speed-Eating: don’t diet! just try to eat slowly and you will fill up and not over eat.

3.     Pigging Out on Weekends: just try not to do it. You will regret it until Wednesday!

4.     Gorging on Salty Snacks: We tent to over eat salt and the more we eat salty snacks the more we want them and we will have less cravings.

5.     Drinking: it is very hard to avoid, maybe try to lessen the amount you drink. When you drink, write down haw much you consume and in the morning figure out the calories and carbs. You will be surprised.

6.     Eating in Front of the TV, Then Dozing Off: don’t we love this one. Yes when you fall asleep yo burn the calories you consume but studies have come out that say that people that eat while watching TV. Consume more calories – about 300 more!

Yikes! This really doesn’t look that hard. I thought it was a good article and easy to follow. I will let you know how this goes in the next could of weeks.
