ignored, especially regarding insulins regulation of our fat tissue. He

THE 2 KEYS TO SUCCESS 1.
EAT LESS FATTENING FOOD (CARBOHYDRATES)
2. BURN OFF THE CALORIES WITH EXERCISE

FATTENING FOODS
It is essential to cut down on high- calorie foods. These include:
- Alcohol (eg Beer)
- Carbohydrates e.g. sugar, cakes, soft cakes, sweets, biscuits, bread, pasta, cereals, sweet drinks
