I was planning on joining the gym and heading there before work starts. Also i want to buy a healthy dietary recipe book to cook with every day. What should i really do in order to lose the maximum amount of weight during the summer? i really want to shed at least 20 pounds of fat.
Answer
I would like to give you just a simple workout plan but it is not that easy to lose weight. It is going to take 3 important things. You need to look at the fundamentals and then build your plan on this foundation.
1. Exercise
2. Diet
3. Attitude / Motivation
I used to do fitness training when I was in college and I know exactly what it takes to lose those pounds.
1. Exercise. You must workout not less that 5 times per week. The best type exercise for losing weight is aerobic exercise. That means you have to get your heart rate up and breathing rate up. You should do a min. of (5) 30 minute aerobic activities per week.
*walking is good but keep up a very fast pace and pump your arms to increase the blood flow and burns more calories! Biking is also good. Treadmill is also good.
2. DIET: You have to watch your calorie intake. Simple formula says: If you eat More calories than you burn you will Gain weight. If you eat Less calories than you burn you will Lose weight.
Eat salads with fat free dressing. Eat lots of fresh foods, carrots, celery. Eat high protein low fat meats like chicken breast out the car. Go to the deli and get lean roast beef and turkey and make sandwiches. Eat rice with no butter and no rich sauces. Stay away from ALL fast food! All the exercising won't help if you don't watch what you fuel your body with.
3. Attitude is glue that binds this weight loss formula together. Losing weight is not easy. It takes discipline and a positive attitude. It is not easy to change your eating and activities habits but you must do it. You have to target your goal and stay on track. A positive attitude will keep you on course!

Football season is upon us! Any advice for low sodium snack foods?
michelle37
I'm looking for low-sodium, low-potassium versions of football snack favorites. I'm preparing these for a young man with severe heart problems and needs to limit his sodium intake to a very small amount. I don't want him to feel like he's missing out on everything he used to enjoy eating and doing, so i'm trying to keep game days as close to normal as possible. Any suggestions, recipes, tips, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
Processed meats, such as hot dogs etc., are high in sodium. You might want to consult with the dietitions of Whole Foods on this dilema. They have products that taste somewhat comprable, but are lower in sodium, fat, and sugar.
From a practical standpoint, making your own dips, french fries and meats for sandwiches might be a good idea. Have you considered AllRecipes.com in their heart healthy selections? Here are some other ideas:
1. BBQ'd Pork Sandwiches: lean pork tenderloin, cooked and tossed in low sodium Barbecue sauce. Serve with home made cole slaw and baked "fries" (potato wedges, drizzled with a little olive oil and tossed with herbs, garlic, and lite salt) with low sodium ketchup.
2. Vege dip: fat free sour cream mixed with chopped water chestnuts, spinach (defrosted and drained of all liquid), and low-sodium leek soup mix. Serve with carrot stix and celery, cauliflower, and low sodium crackers.
3. Brownies: look for low-fat, low-sugar brownie mixes (Trader Joes and Krusteaz), add applesauce instead of eggs or oil and bake. Top with sugar free/fat free ice cream.
Good luck!
