prolonging your life in the process and the benefits far outweigh sacrificing a little down time. Your health and life are worth it.

Your Personal Weight Loss Plan You really don’t need a set meal plan that is going to make you feel as though you are on a diet because let’s face it; it’s the dieting that got you here in the first place.

I want this to be the last program you will ever need and to do that you need to remember that diets don’t work. They only

supply a temporary quick fix. What you need is a lifelong lifestyle change to get rid of the weight and to keep it off for good this time. You won’t be told the portion sizes other than to eat 5 or 6 smaller meals throughout the day that leave you feeling satisfied, not full.

So in order to do that, I won’t be giving you all of the 5 meals you must eat each and every day. This is where you start honing your own survival skills and exercise your own judgment because you know yourself better than anyone else, better than I ever could. I don’t know about you, when I see set meal plans it screams diet,

deprivation and restriction. My mind is already working against it and it won’t take long until my body finally does.

What I will tell you and as you and I have both discovered along this journey is that you must eat well and exercise for it to have any significant change on your body.

We have spoken about having to lose 3,500 calories overall per week to lose one pound of fat. To do this you need to lose at least 500 extra calories per day and from the exercises above you can see how easy it can be. It doesn’t have to be torturous exercise but something as simple as walking the dog, playing with the kids or going for a bike ride. You also know that if you want to step up your efforts that little bit extra simply increases your level of intensity to burn even more calories.

If you want to lose 2 pounds per week, double your workout time or your intensity level. There are plenty of activities you can do to lose that amount of calories such as jump rope, high intensity treadmill, jogging or even swimming (swimming, which is low impact on your joints).
