Foods To Boost Your Metabolism
It is believed that certain foods and spices can help you boost your metabolism which in turn makes you into a fat burning machine. Of course exercise and proper diet is encouraged but if you can throw a little punch into your efficiency to burn fat then why not utilize some of nature's edibles and enhance your work toward those fat burning goals. Of course many of these such as celery or grapefruit have not been scientifically proven to increase metabolism yet are still believed to help by natural practice.

Featured Model - Kimberly Schaefer
Kimberly got started in fitness after she entered a 12 week weight loss program. After finishing, she learned a lot about herself and realized she could do just about anything she put her mind to. She has always loved lifting weights and was involved in some type of aerobics class, usually kickboxing. She had decided after she could actually see her abs, that she would be able to follow a strict dietary plan for a competition and decided from there to enter her first Figure competition.

How Do I Lose That Last 5 Pounds?
Q. I have been trying to lose 5 pounds for about a while now. I know I need to cut down and exercise, which I do but can't seem to lose it. I know I must be doing something wrong. I have been trying to stay at right around 1200 calories, although I go over some times. Could you perhaps, give a sample menu for at least 2 days of what I should be doing?
