The Best Fat Burner

Go to this web page to read the article. Essentially, the best way to burn fat is to gain muscle mass. The pills don’t really do the job and I agree.

Eat More Fiber

In today’s world we hardly get enough fiber in our diets, unless we make a huge effort.

Daily Recommended Fiber Intake

Women
25 grams per day, for women younger than 50
21 grams per day, for women older than 50

Men
38 grams per day, for men younger than 50
30 grams per day, for men older than 50

As you can see that’s alot of fiber. When you increase your fiber intake be sure to also increase your water consumption because the fiber will absorbe water and could cause some constipation.

Increase Your Fiber Intake Gradually

If your diet is currently low in dietary fiber, don’t raise your fiber intake too quickly, as this may trigger flatulence, bloating and other side effects. Instead, start including one or two high fiber foods daily. Then, every three or four days, add another high fiber food, and so on.

I also recommend Kashi cereal & snack products. They are really good without extra sugar or trans fat. Here’s the web site to learn more:

My Testimonial for Gold’s Gym

I joined Gold’s Gym in December 2003. I decided it was time to start getting fit. At the time I was about to turn 50 and I felt like I was 60. It seemed like something was seriously wrong, I had no energy I tired quickly with any exertion and I got easily depressed.

Over the years, I’ve tried the at home workouts and the TV exercise programs and various diets but none seemed to work for very long. Since joining Gold’s and working out regularly, 3-4 days a week, I’ve trimmed down my weight, started building muscle mass and I must say I’m in better shape than many 20 years younger. I intend to continue my program and enhance it with new techniques and better nutrition.  

I feel better than ever and now have more energy than ever before. Join a gym near you and use it! When I travel I try to get in some swimming at the pool and if there is a Gold’s nearby, I keep my workout plan in motion.
