- Shovel the fat away: Shoveling is a great way to start your day. Instead of your normal morning workout, get a shovel out and clear your driveway. Maybe even offer to shovel a neighbor’s driveway too. Shoveling gets all your arm and leg muscles working. It is an intense work out that will help speed up your heart rate and burn the calories you want gone. But remember to use your legs so you don’t hurt your back.
- Take a jog in the snow: Running and jogging in the snow gives you a great work out. It takes more energy for you to move your legs in the snow allowing you to burn more calories and shed that fat. Please make sure that the snow is soft and light. The last thing you want to do is slip and fall on ice while out on a run.
- Exercise never goes out of style: Get out those old workout tapes and put them to good use. Sure the trainers may wear some out of date clothes, but the exercises still help you tone up and lose weight. You’ll even get a kick out of the things you used to do and wear to work out. Relive your glory days and exercise while doing it.

This exercise includes all of your body’s major muscle groups including your abs and butt. All you need is a pair of dumbbells. Watch this video to see how it is done.
BMI uses a person's height and body weight to measure a person's fatness. This method has some limitations because it doesn't consider an athlete's body type (slim, muscular, etc.) For example, athletes usually have high muscle mass and tend to have higher BMIs (suggesting the athlete is overfat). The athlete would actually be fit and healthy with low risk for fat-related diseases. So, even though BMI could be used as a starting point, an athlete's level of fatness is best measured using a direct method. Two methods used are under-water weighing and skinfold measurements. Under-water weighing is not readily available to most people. Having a skinfold body fat test with calipers done by a fitness professional is convenient and reasonably accurate.
Regular sports training, low body fat and increased muscle mass are all factors that should outweigh any health risks suggested by a higher BMI.

AVOID THESE FOODS
Below is a list of foods to avoid. Some will be obvious – others less so.
Sugar and artificial sweeteners, including honey. The only allowed sweetener is stevia. (Sugar is a problem as it is addictive. I suggest you cut down gradually until you can do without. The other option is to go 'cold turkey' and stop it altogether. This will give you withdrawal symptoms, just like stopping any other addictive drug. But this will wear off within about two weeks.)
Sweets and chocolates, including so-called sugar-free types. (If you want a chocolate treat, say once a week, then eat Continental dark chocolate with 70% or more cocoa solids, not the British stuff where sugar is the first named ingredient.)
Foods which contain significant proportions of things whose ingredients end in -ol or -ose as these are sugars (the only exception is cellulose, which is a form of dietary fibre)
"Diet" and "sugar-free" foods (except sugar-free jelly)
Grains and foods made from them: wheat, rye, barley, corn, rice, bread, pasta, pastry, cakes, biscuits, pies, tarts, breakfast cereals, et cetera.
Starchy vegetables: potatoes and parsnips in particular; and go easy with beet, carrots, peas, beans, et cetera and packets of mixed vegetables which might contain them
Beans with the exception of runner beans
Milk (except in small quantities)
Sweetened, fruit and low-fat yogurts
Cottage cheese (except in small amounts)
Beware of commercially packaged foods such as TV dinners, "lean" or "light" in particular, and fast foods, snack foods and "health foods".
Fruit juices, as these are much higher in carbs than fresh fruit. (If you like fruit juices as a drink, dilute about 1 part fruit juice with 2-4 parts water.)
Now that you think there is nothing left to eat, these are foods you can eat:
All meat – lamb, beef, pork, bacon, etc
Include the organ meats: liver, kidneys, heart, as these contain the widest range of the vitamins and minerals your body needs (weight for weight, liver has 4 times as much Vitamin C as apples and pears, for example);
All poultry: chicken (with the skin on), goose, duck, turkey, etc. But be aware that turkey is very low in fat, so fat needs to be added.
Continental sausage (beware of British sausage which usually has a high cereal content.)
All animal and meat fats – without restriction – never cut the fat off meat.
Fish and seafood of all types
Eggs (no limit, but avoid "omega-3 eggs" as these have been artificially fed which upsets the natural fatty acid profile)
All cheeses (except cottage cheese as this has a high carb content and very little fat)
butter and cream (put butter on cooked veges instead of gravy; use cream in hot drinks in place of milk)
Plain, natural full-fat yogurt
Vegetables and fruits as allowed by carb content. (See tables below)
Condiments: pepper, salt, mustard, herbs and spices
Soy products are allowed but, as they are toxic, I don't recommend them
