Fat Loss Tip #1

Get some exercise before you eat breakfast.

How simple is that? But it works. You don't need to change a thing about your diet to start losing weight with this simple tip. Go out for a 20 minute walk, or develop a ten minute exercise routine based on exercises found in The Complete Idiot's Guide to Core Conditioning (focus on the beginner body weight exercises) or a similar program.

When you exercise before you start eating you get your body into fat burning mode. When you eat first, especially if you eat too much, you put your body into fat storage mode. This tip is just a way of telling your body it's more important to burn fat than to store it. Exercise can also help curb your appetite, so there's a great secondary benefit as well.

And if you have a dog, be sure to take him/her with you on your walk. They'll also be happier and healthier. By the way, the dog in the picture is Nala, my personal trainer.
