Other “secrets” that I’ve often discussed:

• “Protein is the key.” Protein satisfies longer than sugar.  I add protein powder to my oatmeal breakfast.  I eat fish or lean meats or beans for lunch and dinner.
• “Eat all day.”  I eat breakfast every day.  I eat lunch and dinner before I get to hungry.  A good way NOT to lose weight? – starve yourself all day, then go home and “lose” willpower and pig out at night.  Better to eat throughout the day, and not get famished.
• “Merge cardio and toning”  Half of my workouts are resistance/weight training.  I believe this is crucial for building and maintaining muscle.  Otherwise, if you restricts caloric intake to lose weight, you’ll lose muscle, which is a catastrophe which sets you up to regain the weight lost AND MORE if you go back to your old eating habits.   Dr. Chase in the article uses kettle balls.  I foten do exercises that utilize my own body weight for resistance.
