Besides burning calories, exercise helps your brain stick to a diet.  Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh studies overweight adults for two years, and found that the participants who didn’t follow a 3-hour-per-week exercise plan ate more than the 1,500 calories per day the study allotted.  The reverse was also true – sneaking in extra snacks sabotaged their workouts.  You need diet AND exercise to maintain long-term weight loss.  Both actions serve as reminders to stay the course, reinforcing your fat loss goals and drive.

Try This Fat Loss Powerhouse for Lunch

Here is one of my favorite lunch time feasts – it has fat-burning protein, monounsaturated fat and lots of fiber!  And even a non-cook like me can whip this up in no time:

Cook 2 cloves of minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant.  Add 1 pound of peeled shrimp (I like to take the tails off as well), sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the shrimp is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.  Mash an avocado with 2 Tablespoons of minced onion (the dried kind is good), 1 teaspoon of garlic, 1 teaspoon of diced chili, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Serve the shrimp and guacamole with heated high-protein, high-fiber tortillas.
