Rules 5 and 6 of The 7 Rules for Weight Loss

5. Avoid to much red meats and fatty food. Fatty foods are calorie-dense which means their are lots more calories per bite than are in the same sized bite of fruits, vegetables, breads, or cereals. I like my red meat but I'm going to eat a reasonably sized portion and earlier in the day (see rule 1 and 2).
6. Exercise at least 5 days per week. Studies have shown that people who are thinner have a longer list of ADL's (activities of daily living) ie yard work, stair climbing, or parking further from the entrance of the store. When it comes to exercise, I love my treadmill. This morning I ran 2 miles in twenty minutes and then worked my upper body on my Total Gym. I tell my friends my upper body will one day look like Chuck Norris's and my legs will probably look like Christie Brinkley's. I have several patients who have WiiFits and love them. It's most important to have a vigorous workout and remember that as you get in better shape you'll have to work out harder because you're actually becoming more efficient (that's what being in shape is-you are becoming a high efficiency model).
