alice's best tips: foods you should watch out for
1. fat free foods
i’m not saying fat free foods are bad. i mean i eat plain fat free yogurt all the time. but you should be suspicious of most foods that claim to be “fat free”. fat free means that the food doesn’t contain any fat so instead of adding butter, or oil, or other fat sources, what do you think the companies add? more chemicals, more sugar, more fillers, and...

alice's best tips: ways to stop overeating
1. eat small portions often
notice how i said small portions often not big portions often. if you’re used to eating 3 meals a day and you want to eat more frequently and speed up your metabolism, you have to cut down your meal portions. if you just add snacks on top of what you’re already used to eating, you’re probably going to gain weight. and eating small, healthy snacks in...

alice's best tips: there is such a thing as too...
source
yes. you heard me right. there IS such a thing as too much exercise. some people might be thinking “what? no way!”. you think more exercise = more calories burned = more fat / lbs gone, right? not quite.
when you exercise too much, you’re not only setting yourself up for injuries and problems in your future but possibly also a weight gain. have you ever heard of a...

Do This Workout #33
the i-don’t-want-to-repeat-circuits-because-it’s-so-repetitive workout
try to complete this as fast as possible without ruining your form! and when i say “complete this as fast as possible”, i don’t mean that you should not do it properly to get more reps in since you’re not racing against anyone. i mean just don’t play around and try to take as little...

Do This Workout #32
do 25 reps of each exercise in circuit A then do 25 reps of each exercise in circuit B. rest for 1 minute. repeat 2-4 times! THERE IS NO BREAK BETWEEN CIRCUIT A AND CIRCUIT B
the exercises in brackets are modifications - easier exercises you can do. so for example in circuit A, when it says “1. burpees (squat jumps)”, do 25 reps of squat jumps if you can’t do 25 reps of burpees...

the naturally-slim
ever have those friends who never workout and always eat what they want but don’t gain weight and stay skinny all year long? what’s their secret? 1. they don’t think about food 24/7
yup. enough said. and they have a different perspective on food too. 2. they eat small portions
instead of a whole plate of fries, they just eat a couple handfuls. instead of a gallon of ice cream,...

alice's best tips: the beginning of weightloss
ok. remember that i’m not a personal trainer or a registered dietitian. and you know that i believe in losing weight in a healthy manner. but when you’re just beginning to lose weight, for the first week or so, i think these few tips really work. 1. detox
fasting or detoxes can be bad. but it doesn’t have to be. detoxes / fasting have a bad reputation because people often fast...

Detox
you guys may know that I don’t really believe in crash diets or detoxes. actually it’s not that i don’t think it works but i just don’t think they’re the best ways to lose weight and tone up. but recently i started to think differently.
lately, if you’ve been indulging in a lot of junk or just a lot of food in general, you may feel uncomfortable, lethargic,...

alice's best tips: break your bad eating habits
i know. it’s hard. that’s why they’re called “habits”, right? but the least you can do is try, and here are some tips to try! 1. you eat late at night
now, eating late isn’t necessarily bad. it’s bad if late night snacks push you over your calorie limit or if you eat just as you’re about to go to sleep. if you eat dinner at 5pm, a little snack...
