With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I just want to tone, not lose weight.

I'm a 42 year old female. I've recently stopped smoking. I've gone from 150lbs. to 160lbs. I don't want to lose any of the weight that I've gained. I'm 6ft tall and still could gain more. My middle section seems to be gaining the most value. What kind of plan would be best for me?

When selecting a weight loss plan, make sure you are consuming a balanced and complete diet.
1.Commit to consuming 4 - 6 small meals and snacks everyday.

2.To succeed, you must plan ahead by packing your foods the night before. Thus, you should always have fresh and low-fat foods around.

3.Keep it simple. Don't get too caught up on the specifics or your diet. Start by simply just counting calories.

4.Eat your foods slower.

5.Make healthier food selections like fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and beans, low-fat or nonfat dairy products, low fat meats, fish and skinless poultry.

6.Avoid foods that are high in fat and calories.

7.Avoid foods that are high in sugars such as pastries, candy bars, pies and candy.

8.Use a variety of fruits and vegetables in your nutrition plan. Start by trying to eat 5 total vegetable and fruit servings every single day.
Hope it may help you..
