There's no substitute for hard work when it comes to losing body fat

When it comes to dieting to lose body fat, there's no substitute for hard work. Believe me, I really wish this were not the case. Unfortunately, however, you must burn more calories than you ingest every day to lose that stubborn body fat.

Low-fat diets, high-fat diets, carefully watching your fat intake, or paying close attention to the glycemic index in your foods—it doesn't matter. When the day is done, you must burn more calories than you eat. It doesn't even matter (sometime) if all the food you eat is healthy, non-junk food, or “clean,” it's total must be lower than your maintenance level.

As I always say, “God puts a price-tag on everything.” If you've accumulated some body fat and desperately want to get rid of it, you are going to have to pay the price. The price may be spending more time sweating on a treadmill, feeling hungry on occasion, or both. Whatever method you choose, there will be some pain involved. I would be lying to you if I told you any differently.

Anyone who tells you differently is just flat-out misleading you! I firmly believe it is our desire to discover some painless alternative that we mistakenly believe is “somewhere out there” which prevents us from dieting the way we must in order to accomplish our goal of losing body fat.

There are several ways to burn more calories than you eat. You can add more cardiovascular work to your training regimen, simply eat less food throughout the day, or even do a combination of more cardiovascular training and eating less food.

So, let's quit looking for a magic solution when comes to losing body fat and get to work! Have an excellent weekend and God bless to you all. Happy vacation for my mom Dolores, my brother Jim, and his girlfriend Dianne.
