Food consumption plays an important role in any weight loss program.

EXERCISE ALONE WILL NOT DO IT.

I KNOW.

I TRIED LOSING WEIGHT BY EXERCISING FIVE DAYS A WEEK.

   ………………BUT DID NOT CHANGE MY DIET………………..

MY BODY TONED.

BUT I DID NOT LOSE ONE OUNCE!

Exercise and good nutrition go hand and hand.

SUGGESTIONS:

• Exercise 4-5 times a week – including cardio and free weights or weight machines.
• Modify your diet – limit processed foods, sugars, and junk food.
• Limit your food intake – eat less and chew longer.
• Use a smaller plate for meals – instead of regular dinner plates.
• Practice behavioral modification – don’t go back for a second helping.
• Change unhealthy eating behaviors – fried foods, junk foods, high sodium foods, eating heavy meals after 6:00 pm, and consuming too much alcohol.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever._………………………………………………………………Psalm 136:1 NIV
