5 Tips on Loosing Fat and Keeping Your Health

1. Drink LOTS of water.

I mean it. Gals are better at this than guys; they are maid to believe water will help them stay beautiful. Still, if you, my man, are determent to stay a one ugly dude, drink up. Water will benefit your digestion, speed up your metabolism, and help to recover from your workouts (or hangover - whichever is applicable).


2. Eat More.

Here is another surprise for you. Eat more frequently, but smaller portions. Eat more fresh, rather than processed overpriced crap. Eat more protein, like tuna, lean cuts of meat, eggs, and beans. Eat more salad: chop some veggies or fruits, and dig in. X-nay on potato salad. You do not want to drawn yourself in mayo - it will show later in a form of unexpectedly appearing flab on your former appealing body parts. Not good for spring.
