FIT_2_B

Hi All,
I heared a lot that Weight training helps a lot in losing weight and body fat. but the way this happen with me is like: if i do cardio only, i lose weight steadily. but if i combine cardio with weights, i do not lose as much!!

Please advice

Don't look at the scale... look in the mirror, muscle weighs more than fat....

u needto build up muscle to keep the body weight down (more muscle = u burn more cal just sitting or even sleeping)

if u just do cardio.. once u stop, ur weight and BF will go back up

I am trying to loose some pounds for summer. I go running every night for my exercise because that is the best and probably only time for me to go. I am worried that my diet is bad. I try to cut down on everything I eat. Typically for lunch I will eat a sandwich consisting of turkey; possibly some fruit, and water. Then for dinner I have 6 inch tuna on wheat with no cheese and light mayo. Can I have some help on dieting and maybe some diet tips? Thank you.

eat 6- 7 small meals a day
try to aviod sugar( like candy and pop)
Aviod high fat food
drink lots of water (but not too much b/c water posioning)

n about running... just watch out for knees problem.. because heavy people when they run... the impact put on the knees are very great... so the joint will act up after a while... so watch out
