Pistachios

A study presented at the Experimental Biology conference in Washington, D.C. in April argued why pistachios may be the ideal snack for anyone looking to lose weight.
The research uncovered that not all of the nuts’ fat is absorbed by the body, making them lower in calories than was previously thought.
The findings work against the notion that nuts are too calorie-dense and high in fat to make them good weight-loss aids.

Hmmmm....

It’s usually only as good or bad
as you think it is.

Weight Training

Resistance training increases your resting metabolic rate by about 7%, so you’ll burn more calories throughout the day, even while sitting on your duff, according to Tufts University researchers.

Aim for 30 minutes, three times a week.

Worrying

When you spend time worrying,

you’re simply using your imagination to create things you don’t want.

Be Inclined!

Forget flat treadmill walking; crank up the incline and you’ll jack up the calories burned.

Walking at 4 miles per hour for 30 minutes blasts off 12% more calories on a 2% incline and nearly 35% more calories on a 5% incline!
