Diet Blunders....


1. Your not eating ENOUGH....You need to cut calories to lose weight, but it's important not to overdo it.

2. You avoid caffeine...Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, so your daily java jolts can rev your metabolism 5 to 8%--about 98 to 174 calories a day.

3. Your carbs are white....Boost your fiber intake by switching to whole wheat bread, pasta, and eating more fruits and vegetables.

4. Your water is room temperature....German researchers found that drinking 6 cups of cold water a day (that's 48 ounces) can raise resting metabolism by about 50 calories daily.

5. Your meals lack protein...Make sure protein is a component in every meal. Your body needs it to maintain lean muscle.
