We all know that in order to lose weight, it is essential to control one's eating habits.  In the past, to our detriment, the emphasis has been on limiting fat consumption and reducing the number of calories. 

It is much more important to have a balanced diet. Actually, the focus should be on reducing carbohydrates, increasing the percentage of protein and allowing a reasonable amount of fat in our diet rather than simply cutting the number of calories.

We must exercise if we want to have a healthy, trim figure.  The best exercises to achieve optimum results are resistance exercises.  These include gravity workouts (TRX etc.) as well as working out sessions with exercise bands, free weights and weight-training machines. These types of exercises help you lose weight and increase muscle mass and energy while improving lymphatic circulation.

Several studies have shown that vitamin and mineral supplements help boost fat loss.  In a study published in the prestigious medical journal International Journal of Obesity, researchers reported that obese individuals who took a multivitamin and mineral supplement lost more weight than a control group that didn't take the supplement.  An additional benefit was that the group taking the supplement reported feeling more energetic.
