Hi Lois,

Wow, you are doing *great* in the exercise department! All that fresh air

and walking is excellent!! Really motivating me to do the same...though it's

not easy with a 4yo and 18mo.

 

Anyway, that Metabolife will do a good job getting you ripped. It is

(aerobic) exercise in a bottle. So remember to supplement it with

muscle-building exercises such as push-ups. Also, since you are getting all

that great exercise, eat like someone training for a marathon, not like

someone living in a concentration camp. Which means focus on proteins and

vegetables.... Vegetables are a dieter's friend -- have you heard of the

negative calorie concept? It's probably bogus, but people say that with some

vegetables (especially no-starch ones), it takes more calories to digest than

are in them. But in any case, add a bunch of salads to your diet,

guilt-free.

 

Another plus with the vegetables is that most veggies are high in potassium &

other electrolytes, which will keep your heart healthy while it's being

stimulated by the exercise & herbs...

 

So if you must have buttered toast for breakfast, then put a poached egg on

top of it for protein, with strawberries on the side. Add a salad to your

lunch, and a salad and steamed veggies to your dinner, guilt-free...
