   Try Nike, i honestly think they have the best running shoes

   I”m happy you want to change your lifestyle…Healthy and Thin is the best to be and you’ll be a much happier person…

   Let me give you some food and mini work out tips you can start.

   I’m a Vegetarian and I’m super thin, and I always have a lot of protein, and I hate tofu loll …and I have tons of snacks to choose from

   I bareeeely work out ….and I’ve never had a belly, big thighs, or big butt SO Listen k? I’m pretty much perfect-its not cocky,i just am…

   Walk Walk Walk! and walk some more…its actually better than running….running makes your ankles weak over time. Do you want that when your older? I don’t think so. I actually do the bike, which is amazing…the faster you petal the more calories you burn….the belly is actually burning fat b/c you are sweating. Not a lot of ppl. know that walking on treadmill/bike/or walking outside burns fat around the mid section…but it is so true. ALSO IMPORTANT: Do not use incline k? b/c your thighs will get bigger…try little to no resistance!! Walking also will burn the extra surrounding fat that is covering muscles (underneath it)…so definitely do a lot of carido. Try sit ups too like 2 to 3 times a week to make abs show quicker!

   Buy a treatmill or bike-even cheap treadmills and bikes work.

   Being a vegetarian or even one that eats red meat or dairy like ONCE IN AWHILE is the best to be one because you are healthy as a horse and you won’t have that excess fat and food inside your intestines that most red meats do.

   I’m not trying to promote becoming a vegetarian, but here me out ok?

   Here’s what I eat and my protein is perfect and I’m super healthy and have tons of snacks to choose from

   Having a high protein diet is good in loosing fat, and keeping lean muscles, because usually the more protein is in a food-the less Total fat and calories from fat!

   I eat lots of beans (Lima, Soy, red kidney, black, navy- RAW; never in can(but that is just my choice-if you wanted canned its NOOOO PROBLEM)

   Try Quinoa too, you can find it in your grain, beans, or nut aisles

   I also eat lots of salad with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, carrots-yum yum!

   The entire kosher aisle has manyyyy products to munch on! Geez!

   Also, Some Kashi products are great to snack on!-especially the ones marked with high protein or protein added

   Try Edamame too!- tons of protein and tastes delicious! (Veggie section even though it’s a bean loll)-get the non gmo kind.

   Dairy (if you eat it): cheese-I’d suggest you go for this yogurt called “Fage 0″ or “Chobani” yogurt (it has about 15 grams of protein in it I believe)… Ummm lets see, what else? All Goat products are good too and high in protein.

   ALL vegetables are fun and easy to cook-I like broccoli, asparagus, yams, pumpkin, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower-and you can do whatever you want with it (fry, boil, steam, baked…etc.)

   Have you ever heard of Matzo’s? (Kosher Aisle) they are crackers that have 4 grams of fat per serving (1) and only has 21 grams to 27 grams of Carbs in it depending on which version you get. BUT make sure you get the 100% whole wheat ones ya know?-just to be the healthiest. There is also absolutely no sugar in it either (sugar if not burned turns into fat btw)…..
   The calories range from like 98 to 150 calories too! Oh, did I mention they are extremely delicious!?

   Mott’s applesauce, no added sugar is one of my favorite things to eat too!
   You can find organic applesauce too which provide different flavors without added sugar
   All “no added sugar” products are phenomenal

   NOTE: BEEF-honestly it is very bad for you and does not leave your intestine for months and months (look it up on internet…it’s the worse food for you in the world I believe, even worse than junk food-unless used in moderation and VERY VERY small portions)

   Brown rice or even white rice is great too-I love Uncle Bens’ version
   Miso soups are fantastic as well as any other soups (especially the ones with very little sodium)

   Fruit is ALWAYS a great snack at night!

   Ok, that’s all I can think about now off the top of my head, if you need to know anymore then just message me k?

   Take care

   (I know I went on a rampage here, but I honestly hope this helps!)

   well it’s not possible to “spot reduce” as far as fat loss. You have to burn overall fat with cardio – so maybe now that the weather is getting nicer you could try doing some cross country running? or do a 5k for a good cause? the training and running will help you lose weight. 20 lbs in 4 weeks is not very practical – but that doesn’t mean you can’t make great progress and look better in that time – just don’t get stuck on a number because you don’t want to feel like you’ve “failed” if you don’t hit it.

   As for diet cut out simple carbs (think cakes, cookies, candies etc) and replace with whole grains and complex carbs (fresh fruit, whole grain cereals or fiber bars) and get lean protein and low fat dairy. Some studies say low fat milk and yogurt are helpful for shrinking the waistline in women.

   Yoga isn’t really for weight loss but is great for toning up and staying flexible and looking long and lean. I would say add some strength training to your routine as well to firm up those trouble spots.

   As for sports bras I never use them I tend to use a regular underwire but wear a tight tanktop. I need the extra support and sports bras don’t work for me – but I’m 35 with 2 kids and gravity is no longer my friend in that area . With Shoes just try on a variety – all feet are different and what some say are great may not work for you. I know I have flatter arches and a lot of tennis shoes don’t feel right with my arches. Try different ones on so you get what works well with your particular foot shape.
