None of this can be achieved with out controlling your calorie and protein intake These 2 most important factors are much over looked but are based on an exact science of mathematics which "take out the guess work" of such and such food, idea, or cardio machine (which only ultimately burn calories) unless you know how many calories you have eaten then the calories you have burned become relevant. If you ignore this fundamental key then your body will only replace the deficit you have created.

The body has evolved over 3 million years and your "wish" to change shape does not come into the system.

Eg. if you went to the desert you would take water ..agreed.. because what the body loses it will automatically require (by thirst)

Eg. if you increased sodium, the body would increase potassium (electrolyte balance)to compensate

The body does not care for your opinion of improvement for that matter it does not recognise nutrients (unless severely deficient when pregnant)it recognises calories (fats sugars)

If you burn or reduce calories, (many cases too fast) the body becomes hungry..of course..my policy is very much in agreement with www.caloriecontrolcouncil.com but like much the same as else where they fail to explain a way to apply the knowledge.

Secondly if you go to a gym or take on a fitness program with out understanding the body requires a certain amount of protein to profit by for the reshaping this does not mean endless amounts which will only take us to the opposite polarity.

But does require understanding as much the same as correct protein intake for a patient in say, a burns unit in hospital who needs to produce living tissue (as indeed any toning,firming or body sculpture program does).

we need 50 to 70 grams of protein a day just to be healthy. And who is aware of even this information or more importantly how to find out about HOW TO FIND IT OUT?

As most people only play lip service to the governments control of advertising of so called weight loss products who protect themselves by stipulating "any food will ONLY help as PART of CALORIE CONTROLED DIET" sound familiar ..?.. well who is doing that i ask myself?

That should then be backed up with..any exercise or muscle building claim or machine can ONLY help as PART of a PROTEIN CONTROLLED DIET" please feel free to investigate these claims and hope you are pleasantly refreshed.

Good Health
