  1. She eliminates junk food. Choose the better juice by carefully scrutinizing nutrition labels.
  2. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.
  3. Works out 4-5 times a week with weights, and running on a treadmill.

Main point is that you have to learn to do it for yourself (because we all push ourselves to do things for work, or for the kids on a regular basis while forgetting ourselves). It is your own body, take care of it.

Without resorting to gastric bypass surgery (as many celebrities has chosen for a weight loss quick fix), Mo’Nique managed to lose 40 lbs according to Jet Magazine.

(A book we recommend is Slim Down Sister, as one reviewer says “I don’t want to eat Yogurt or Tofu!”)

Along with regular exercise 3-4 times a week, she has completely cut out processed foods including white flour and sugars. Her salt intake is limited also.

Instead of opting for boring exercise routines, Mandisa chooses to enjoy the weight loss process with Zumba dancing. (We too are believers in the greatness of Richard Simmons.)

Again, it is important to go back to the basics of eating unprocessed food with lots of fresh green vegetables.

Congrats to Miranda Kerr for maintaining a healthy lifestyle to meet the demands of modeling and looking good. Her fans should be proud and follow her example of eating healthy.

As a kid she participated in activities such as climbing trees instead of sitting around. Who in their right mind would call Miranda Kerr a tom boy today?

The Giants are investing in their future by pushing Sandoval towards taking care of his body for a long and prosperous career.

In order to lose weight, Sandoval spends 5 hours a day on various cardio training, weightlifting, and workouts designed for him.

Also, a common theme is no soda or juice. And limiting himself to the allotted calories allowed by his nutritionist.

DDR Part 20 – Grab the freaking bar! Do whatever works, and enjoy the game. Lesson learned is who cares about what other people think (unless the competition calls specifically no bar holding).

DDR Part 21 – Love the fact that JP Money brings his brother into the mix. Also, big props to Mr. Pelen.

So much for an entry that was suppose to focus on DDR and weight loss that sidetracked into learning more about the tournaments behind the game. Common sense already tells us that all the competitors are in tip top shape from everyday practice. Apply that knowledge to your weight loss goals, keep moving your feet!

We made sure to save the best for last. Get your butt off the couch if you have two legs!

I personally have found two hard boiled organic eggs to be very filling and nutritious at a total of 140 calories.

Breakfast is two hard boil organic eggs. (I tend to stay away from the regular eggs because the yolk is too hard and disgusting. It could be all the hormones and antibiotics when hens are caged and force fed corn and animal byproducts.) No juice and no sugar. This should keep you full until lunch time.

Lunch, go for a grilled chicken salad. Really watch your portions, it is not necessary to stop eating only when you are full. Again, no juice and no soda.

Dinner, two hard boil organic eggs 15-20 minutes before your meal. Then eat anything you want while watching your portions. Best to stay away from greasy fried food, and juice or soda.

Snacks, stick to fresh fruits. Processed or packaged fruits have a lot of sugar. Just read the labels and you will be fine.

It can get expensive very fast because organic eggs are priced at $3.99 per dozen. This is very healthy, nutritious and never makes you feel sluggish.

I don’t subscribe to the idea of no carbs because it is ridiculous. Eat what you want, but let the organic eggs do the heavy lifting while you watch the meal portions, and eliminate sugar if possible. Remember that you have to enjoy what you eat in order to successfully lose weight.

In less than 1 week, I went from 158 to 153. This is after being plateaued at the 157-159 range for two months. This is just my experience.

http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2008/08/12/breakfast-eggs-keep-folks-on-diet.html – clinical studies also confirm the same assumptions about eating eggs to help with weight loss.
