Step 2: Gym Class
Think back to the physical activities you used to enjoy in high school-- what you did to burn off stress and calories. Try reintroducing those routines into your current schedule. Or, you can try a new workout with Dr. Oz. Either way, fitness is essential to your weight loss goal!
Step 3: Homework
You'll never ace your test if you don't put in some extra work. In this plan, your daily homework is to keep a food log. You will write down not only every item of food you eat, but also the additional information like calories, grams of fat, grams of carbs, etc. This will help keep you responsible for what you are putting into your body.
