When I hear the word diet it reminds me of back in the day when Richard Simmons was at the top of his game. He says..the beginning of the word die...it the problem. Be on a live it!

Make time for yourself FS.

One is on some sort of diet regardless of what they eat. Seafood diet, see-food diet, or Bugles diet, it's all some sort of diet. Anyone who is not on a diet eventually starves to death.

When many people say they are on a "diet" what they really mean is they are following some weight loss plan.

I am always on a diet. Usually not a healthy one, but a diet just the same.

Working to improve your overall fitness is a worthy goal and will improve your health and how you feel. Good luck on your fitness quest.

You hit the nail on the head Mason

The best way to become more fit is to understand how it is exactly how your body metabolizes the different kinds of fuel you put into it (or your diet).

A couple of facts as I have come to know, about what kinds of food to eat and how much:

If you are trying to lose weight by keeping close attention to what you eat, you have to know approximately how many calories you need for any given day.

Never eat any food that contains more than 10% of its calories from fat.
Never eat any portion of meat greater than 4ozs, and try to eat the leanest meats you enjoy most. For me this is fish and skinless chicken.
Try to eat your largest meals in the day, not when you get home and sit down for supper. Rather eat lighter foods at suppertime like salads and pastas, and never eat until your full, but rather satisfied.

Buy yourself a text that describes how fat is mobalized from storage in your body via the bloodstream and finally "used" by your muscles. This is the key to finding the best exersize plan for yourself.

Generally, you need to increase your cardio-vascular system so you can use larger muscles for longer periods of time. Your muscles are what mostly burn the "fat" in your body, and they need oxygen to burn the fuel. Cardio workouts oxygenate the bloodsteam at the least, and strengthen the heart as well.

Ok..I'm starting a volume here. Anyway, I hope this helps. I'm not an expert, but feel free to ask me what I do know.

Good luck!
