Oprah says no to carbs

Oprah’s secret to eliminating 87 pounds from her weight is not really a secret, but let me tell it to you in any case.

Oprah consulted personal trainer Bob Green who put her under a rigorous weight resistance training program. She would run for 5 miles every day and she also did some weight training. She also underwent a strict diet by eliminating “bad” carbs such as white bread, white rice, flour, pasta, and potatoes. She also stayed away from sugar and sweets. She would eat wheat pasta and wheat breads but only in moderation. She didn’t drink alcohol and ate two fruits a day. Oprah says that her kitchen closes at 7:30 in the evening.

Ahh… you see, the real key to staying in shape is discipline and will power. I do applaud Oprah for having both because the actual training and the dieting are quite easy to do but actually sticking to the program is the hardest.

Be fit, be tight. Go kickboxing!

Kickboxing is popular nowadays amongst people who want to lose weight. It does not make use of the different eating strategies like veggie diet, “low-carb” consumption and the like (though some do this). The reason why people fall in love with this kind of “slimming” strategy is that, kickboxing promotes not only weight loss but it also makes the person healthy and fit. They say diet is nothing without exercise. Since kickboxing makes use of the whole body (i.e. the limbs, the torso, the shoulders), some followers of the sport claim that they have lost a total of 20 pounds for 2 months.
