Weightloss Program

After watching the show, you may have noticed the Biggest Loser basics. Keep your calories down. Consume food and drinks low in fat and sugar. Eat smaller portioned meals, natural carbohydrates, lots of fruits and vegetables, and foods high in fiber.

The more you repeat these ideas to yourself, the more likely they are to become beliefs. That is, if you don't become bored in the process. So here's a fresh way to remind yourself of your new lifestyle--that's by the numbers.

1) Eat. Eat 5 to 6 meals a day, spaced about 3 hours apart, in order to curb cravings and keep your metabolism humming along.

2) Drink. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of ice-cold water a day. Water flushes out your system and can help suppress your appetite by filling up your stomach.

3) Exercise. Exercise 3 to 6 times a week, for at least 1 hour each time. Burn off the fat with cardio, and use weight training to create shape and develop lean muscle.

Each night, add up your day. Did you drink, eat, and exercise enough? Answer yes and you've got yourself a surefire formula for successful weight loss and maintenance.
