Wow, very informative!

Especially this;
Pound for pound, your lean muscle burns 25 times more calories than fat! Conversely, less muscle tissue means a slower metabolism. To illustrate this, one pound of muscle can burn 30 to 50 calories in a day, or 350 to 500 calories a week. On the other hand, one pound of fat only burns about 2 calories a day, or 14 calories a week. Therefore, building and preserving lean muscle tissue not only makes fat loss easier, put more permanent.

I don't think there is enough focus on this element of the journey. We NEED to exercise and retain/maintain our lean muscle mass. Cardio is great for overall health and wellbeing and naturally uses muscle but it is not as effective as putting your larger and sympathetic muscles under load.
Great post.

Here's a web-site that sells the Bari-wise and the WonderSlim products they talked about. I LOVE the Choc caramel meal replacement bars and the Choc mint bars! Reminds me, time to order some more! I don't eat them often, but they are great for when the hubby and I go fishing all day.
