Arabian I know many who RAVE about zumba! Give it a try.
For dieting have any of you tried eating more PALEO/PRIMAL basically it is eating more fats and few to none carbs. The fat helps you not crave the carbs so much. I have just started and feel really good. I started reading about it at Marksdailyapple.com His principles and exercise are very doable for the weight challenged.
His 10 steps to primal are:
1 Eat lots of plants and animals
2 Grains are equal to sugar, you need to eliminate both
3 Move frequently at a slower pace
4 lift heavy things
5 sprint once in awhile
6 get enough sleep
7 play
8 get enough sun
9 be aware of your surroundings
10 use your brain
NO to: sugar, wheat, rice, pasta, corn, grains, etc
Yes to: meat, fish, fowl, nuts (except peanuts) seeds colorful carbs (which are small amounts of fruit and lots of veggies)
Has anyone else converted to this lifestyle with success? I know I feel better but would love to hear from others.
