The extra fat we carry is just not worth it. You will be in a better place for living healthy and it is actually enjoyable.

You have to understand and buy in to it. You will then enjoy the process.

Few simple things:

1. The diet should have around 45% carbohydrates/sugars ( Low glycemic index and complex carbohydrates), 30% fats ( mostly unsaturated fats ) and around 20 to to 25% protein.
2. While trying to shed extra fat, keep your total calories as close to 1500 as possible and move as much as possible. This process has to be enjoyable or it would not last. You may also take a weight loss supplement like Liv Pure to help improve your liver function and its ability to burn body fat.
