“We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow.’ His name is today.”
— Nobel Laureate Gabriela Mistral

Resting Energy Expenditure
Regular exercise increases the amount of energy you burn while you are exercising. It also boosts your resting energy expenditure — the rate at which you burn calories when the workout is over and you are resting. Resting energy expenditure remains elevated as long as you exercise at least three days a week on a regular basis.
Resting energy expenditure accounts for 60% to 75% of the calories you burn each day, any increase in resting energy expenditure is extremely important to your weight-loss effort.

Eating healthy is not a diet
it's a lifestyle.

Always be safe and choose a trustworthy weight loss program.
Here are some "red flags" that may tell you that a program may not be good for your health:
• Promises fast weight-loss (more than one kilogram / per week)
• Recommends a very low-calorie diet plan (below 800 calories) per day) without medical supervision
• Tries to make you dependent on their company by selling you products such as foods or supplements rather than teaching you how to make good choices from regular grocery store food
• Does not encourage long-term realistic lifestyle changes, including regular exercise and a healthy diet that suits your lifestyle and health
• Employs salespeople who act as "counsellors” but are only trained on the program and the company’s products and not on healthy approaches to help you change your behaviour to help you lose weight
• Requires you to sign a long-term, expensive contract
• Pressures you to sign up right away by offering a "special price"
• Does not tell you about risks that may go along with weight loss or their specific program (for example: if you have diabetes and take prescription medication, it may affect you differently after you lose weight)
• Promotes weight loss aids like starch blockers, fat-burners, herbs, supplements, or amino acids that have not been scientifically proven to have any health benefits. Talk to a dietitian or other health professional to find out this information.
• Does not offer support or follow-up to help you lose weight and keep it off.
In general, if it sounds too good or too easy to be true, it probably is.
