Question: You think Cardio Is Best To Burn Fat???
While cardio burns more calories than resistance training during your workout, lifting weights torches more fat overall. In a study published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, women who completed an hour-long strength-training workout burned an average of 100 more calories in the 24 hours afterward than those who skipped the weights. The more muscle owned, the more fat burned.

TOTD: Eat protein at every meal
Eat protein at every meal!!!
Dieters who eat the most protein tend to lose more weight while feeling less deprived than those who eat the least protein. It appears that protein is the best nutrient for jumpstarting your metabolism, squashing your appetite, and helping you eat less at subsequent meals.

TOTD: Save your back!
Squeeze your butt muscles when you lift weights over your head. You'll force your body into a position that automatically stabilizes your spine, which lowers your risk of back injuries.

TOTD: Pineapple and Papaya
***Pineapple and Papaya***
Both of these tropical fruits are loaded with bromelain and papain, enzymes that not only help break down proteins for digestion but also have anti-inflammatory properties to speed up your post-workout recovery.
