Will this program help me lose weight?

Yes. However, if you are serious about losing weight, you must pay close attention to your nutrition and caloric intake. Proper exercise combined with sustained or reduced caloric intake will produce increased muscle mass while reducing excess fat. Simply reducing calories without exercise, or with Aerobic-type exercise alone, will result in the loss of both fat and muscle tissue.

To embark on a successful weight loss campaign, it is important to understand how the body uses our food to create and store energy. As fat is the perfect long-term energy storage device, the body will revert to fat stores last for fuel, and will store unused calories from our food as fat. Unfortunately, modern diets and sedentary lifestyles rarely force the body to use fat for energy.

In order to promote muscle growth and fat loss, it is important to limit or avoid foods containing refined sugar or flour, as these are quickly and most easily converted into energy. These simple carbohydrates, NOT dietary fat, are the primary culprits in excess weight problems.

An increase in muscle mass also increases the resting metabolic rate, helping to burn excess calories and reduce fat even while not exercising.
