Lose Weight

Exercise Program
  • Perform at least 20-30 minutes of moderate to high intensity cardiovascular exercise 4 times per week (running, spinning, stair-climbing, etc.).
  • If you can only tolerate low intensity cardiovascular exercise (such as walking), increase to 45-60 minutes 3-4 times per week.
  • Conduct resistance training exercises utilizing free weights, cable machines, dumbbells, and/or home gyms. You should train 3 times per week for no more than 45 minutes each time. Warm up with 5 minutes on the bike or treadmill to loosen up your muscles.
  • Make sure to vary type, time and intensity of all your exercises frequently.

Nutrition Program
  • We recommend that you consume 5-6 well-balanced meals per day. Each meal should be roughly equal in calories, protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake. Balance your meals with approximately 30% calories from protein, 30% from fat and 40% from carbohydrates.
  • Aim for about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. (140 g/day if you weight 140 pounds)
  • Good sources of protein include: eggs, egg whites, fish, skinless chicken & turkey, low-fat cottage cheese, lean beef & quality protein powders. Good sources of carbohydrate include: vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains (brown rice, oatmeal etc.). Good sources of fat include: nuts, seeds, olive oil, fatty fish (salmon, tuna), canola oil, low fat cheese, low fat mayo, peanut butter, flax seeds.
  • Drink one-half to one full gallon of water each day.
  • Allow yourself a cheat day once a week to satisfy your cravings and eat whatever you want.

Supplement Program
  • Use a quality multi-vitamin / multi-mineral formula. See TwinLab’s Daily One.
  • Take extra antioxidants. 500-1000 mg of Vitamin C and 400-800 iu of Vitamin E is recommended. See Syntrax Radox.
  • Use 2-3 Meal Replacement Powders (MRPs) per day. This will help insure that you take in enough lean quality protein to support muscle mass gains. See SlimShakes and Myoplex Lite.
  • Try a fat burner! These popular weight loss aides can pep up your energy and your metabolism to help you burn fat! See TrimSpa and Metabolic Thyrolean. (These products contain herbal stimulants and should only be used as directed.)
  • Essential Fatty Acids! EFAs are wonderful, healthy fats that can help support your efforts tremendously. See the Total EFA.
  • Use a whey protein powder if you have trouble consuming enough protein. See Optimum 100% Whey.
  • These are the basics, there are many more quality supplements available and as always I recommend that you visit our site frequently to stay in tune with all the latest information and research.
