The Centenarian

1. Decaffeinated coffee has 69 calories, two cups over a year is 50,370 calories or about 15 pounds. Try something else.

2. Do weight training even though cardio burns more calories weight training burns calories all day long.

3. Avoid refined carbs like white bread (change to wheat bread) and pasta. Refined carbs trigger the storage of fat. Also wheat bread will keep you fuller longer from the added fiber.

4. Change to diet soda, if you drink 5 per week you will cut out 9,500 calories.

5. Eat early so your body has plenty of time to digest, never eat within 2 hours of sleep.

6. Change your exercise every 6 weeks, you will have a stronger core and create more endurance.

7. Take vitamins to make sure you have your nutritional needs.

8. Get a full eight hours of sleep, stress causes more weight gaining then anything else. Just chill out for a better body.

9. Walk or hike once a week, the fresh air and full body movement make a huge differance.

10. Do more of a incline on treadmills and walking. Just raising it 10 degrees will burn 106 more calories in 30 minutes (5 mph)
