a quick 20

Nothing ages a person quicker than bad teeth, and an extra twenty pounds. I'm no dentist so I can't help you with your grill. But if you want to shed a quick 20, here's how:



Water - Drink water and only water. Not juice. Not kool-aid. Not tea, coffee, beer or wine. You can cut out a whole lot of calories just by downing a little H2o.

No food after 7 p.m. - This one can be hard at first. But it speeds that metabolism up, and allows the body proper time to digest food and wind down. I guarantee you, you'll be hungry as hell come morning.

Eat breakfast - This is essential. Your metabolism is a like a fire. Hunger gets that bad boy revved up. When the flame is high and you throw logs on it, the logs burn off quick. Same with food. By not eating after seven, you'll be plenty hungry come breakfast. So don't starve yourself. Eat in the morning to start your day. Just don't stuff yourself. You'll burn it right off.

Small portions - Most of us were taught by big momma'nem to eat everything on your plate. Mind you, most plates are the size of a twenty inch rim. So, start eating on saucers to help you with portion control. Consider that your plate. Clean the plate, and keep it moving.

No alchol - Remember, we're trying to drop a quick 20, so stay out the liquor store. And I know, the club does not feel like the spot to be when everyone has a drink but you. But, water in a clear glass with a lime and a straw looks as sexy as anything they're pouring behind the bar. Sip slow and be cool.

No fried foods - No fried chicken, I said it. Click that oven to 450 and get your bake-on.

Work out while resting - Most people don't work out. Not because they don't like working out. But because they don't like having to go somewhere to work out. The best time to work out is while lounging. I mean, if you're sitting around the house chilling, watching the tube, why not do some exercises during commercials. You'll be surprised how effective it can be. You can't beat sit ups during a commercial. I personally, during a tv show, will knock out 100 hundred sit ups during each commercial. At the end of an hour show, I've done like 500, and I'm done for the day. Push ups, dips, and curls, are also low maintenance exercises you can do right in front of the tv. Throw in a half an hour walk or job three times during the week, and you'll be on point.



Surprisingly, if you really pay attention to your intake, it's not that hard to drop a quick 20. Write down what you're eating, and pay attention to your patterns. I'm not going to get into the whole carb thing. Cutting out carbs will help you lose weight, but it'll also make you more likely to gain it back. Create a system based on moderation, and you'll reach your goals, with a big ass smile on your face, instead of an ugly frown. Superbowl in two weeks, so drop that 20 quick! One luv.
