Clementine, darling

I love food. I like my vegetables raw, and any kind of fresh herb or spice. I dislike running, treadmills or roads, not my thing. I like to attend all different gyms to for the aerobics classes, spinning, yoga, you name it, ill try it at least once. Trying to keep my body healthy, I am recording my thoughts and experiences on everything from eating healthy (and sometimes not so healthy), to the latest motivational quote that im currently obsessing over. Oh, and everywhere in between.

living on a roller coaster,
Clementine Darling.




Roadblock number 4: You log extra miles on the treadmill to make up for giant meals. What’s wrong with that? When it comes to dieting, success isn’t 90 percent perspiration. You can’t achieve lasting weight loss via exercise alone. But a new study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that dieting can shrink your fat zones just as effectively as dieting plus exercise. Detour: If you try the diet-only approach, you need a clear idea of how much you should be eating. Multiply your weight by 10, then add your weight again to that sum: That gives you the number of calories you need to maintain your current weight without activity. For example, 135 pounds x 10 = 1,350 + 135 = 1,485 calories. Eat more than that regularly, and your “loose-fit” pants won’t anymore; eat less, and your muffin top will start melting away. But not so fast—before you burn your gym membership, read on about sarcopenia.
