Simple Diet and Fitness Tips

Find the best fitness friend
A workout buddy is hugely helpful for keeping motivated, but
it's important to find someone who will inspire—not discourage.
So make a list of all your exercise-loving friends, then see who
fits this criteria, says Andrew Kastor, an ASICS running coach:
Can your pal meet to exercise on a regular basis? Is she
supportive (not disparaging) of your goals? And last, will your
bud be able to keep up with you or even push your limits in key
workouts? If you've got someone that fits all three, make that
phone call.

Stock up on these
While there are heaps of good-for-you foods out there, some
key ingredients make it a lot easier to meet your weight-loss
goals. Next grocery store run, be sure to place Newgent's top
three diet-friendly items in your cart: balsamic vinegar (it adds
a pop of low-cal flavor to veggies and salads), in-shell nuts
(their protein and fiber keep you satiated), and fat-free plain
yogurt (a creamy, comforting source of protein). "Plus, Greek
yogurt also works wonders as a natural low-calorie base for
dressings and dips—or as a tangier alternative to sour cream,"
says Newgent. Talk about a multitasker!
