A Hi Nancy, Lets start with your diet. Try to eat smaller meals more frequently, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In between those meals have 3 or 4 small snacks (lo carb/high protein/lo calorie). Exercise 3 to 4 times a week with some form of cardio ie treadmill, walking, starimaster etc. Always consume 8 to 10 glasses of water per day. Your cardio should be at least 20 minutes each time, but don't start out with that at the beginning, build up to it. Many of my customers have had great success with incorporating Ventilean into their fitness plan. Two to four capsules per day will help you burn fat faster, and give you energy to have a better workout. You can find the Ventilean on our site under diet and energy in liquid and capsule form. Good luck keep me updated.
