If you find yourself hitting a plateau, simply add other exercises to confuse the body, simple exercises such as push ups, chin ups and a variety of fun exercises will aid you in losing fat.

Doctor Ali Zentner who states that 5-6 tiny meals are no better than the 3 regular meals. She goes on to say that most diets fail at the beginning, middle and the end, they fail to get to the real issue and problems of losing weight. She also states that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. This will cause some controversy when it comes to most diet plans and may cause more confusion than provide any clear answers that one seeks to find for losing weight.
