Processed sugars are out, that means all of them. Sugar intake creates a insulin spike that tells your body to stop burning and start storing fat. Complex carbohydrates like oatmeal, whole-wheat bread and fiber cereal are in. At your current weight, you should consume 1480 to 1776 calories per day, 40% from protein, 40% from complex carbs, 20% from mono- or poly-unsaturated fat. Also, consider adding oil supplements (flaxseed and sunflower oil) and drink 2-3 cups of tea per day to increase metabolism. Running is hands down the best exercise for fat burn, but don't run too fast, speedy. You want to keep your heart rate at 60%-70% of max, which is a slow trot which allows for reasonably comfortable conversation while exercising. Finally, for that spite-filled six-pack look, do three sets of 15 ab crunches very-very slowly, three times weekly. Next year for your appointment, your doctor will be able to shatter a tongue-depressor across your midrift!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
