To burn off unwanted body fat forever you have to have a balanced approach that includes proper nutrition, cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and lifestyle changes.  One without the others will not get you to your goal.

Some people hit it hard in the gym, but are not disciplined about what they eat.  Other people watch what they eat, but don't exercise.  To get quick lasting results, you have to approach getting lean the right way.  If your goal is to get lean and ripped, here are six key ingredients that you need to know:

1. Make The Decision - Making the decision to change is usually the hardest part of the battle.  Until you have truly made the decision and are willing to make this a top priority, you will never get the results you desire.  You cannot dabble in fat burning and getting lean.  You have to become obsessed and make it a top priority.  Building a leaner, healthier body takes commitment and requires focus, consistency and effort.

2. Set Goals - Goal setting is extremely important.  Most people go through life on a wing and a prayer, with no specific, measurable goals - not only for health and fitness, but every aspect of their life.  Establishing goals is crucial and allows you to direct your actions to the tasks that will get you from Point A to Point B.  Look at goal setting as going on a vacation. You have a specific itinerary.  You know exactly when you're leaving, where you're going, where you are staying, and when you are coming back.  Unless you are being chased by the law, you do not just walk into the airport and say give me a ticket, anywhere is just fine.  Set specific goals, write them down, and put them somewhere where you will see them everyday.  Tape them to your refrigerator!  Be specific, if you want to lose fat, how much? If you want to lose weight, how much?

3. Develop A Plan Of Action - A wise man once said, "If you fail to plan, your planning to fail."  To be successful, you must have a concrete, written daily plan of action to achieve your goals. When you wake up in the morning you should know exactly what you are going to eat, and when you are going to eat.  For your weight training, you need to know what body parts you are training today, what exercises you are going to do, and how many sets. For your cardiovascular exercise, you need to know what exercise you are going to do, and for what duration.  The faintest ink is better than the best memory.  Create a specific written day-by- day plan of action to achieve your goals.

4. Incorporate Weight Training Into Your Routine - Weight and strength training builds muscle, increases your lean body mass, and decreases your body fat percentage.  With more muscle, you look leaner and have a higher metabolism.  The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn - even at rest!

5. Incorporate Cardiovascular Exercise Into Your Routine - I know I have covered this many times, but for good reason.  To lose weight and decrease your body fat percentage, there is absolutely no substitute for consistent cardiovascular exercise.  Your body is like a furnace.  It burns units of energy that we call calories.  Whether you gain weight or lose weight is determined by the number of calories you take in, and the number of calories you burn.  Cardiovascular exercise burns calories.

6. Eat Four Or Five Small Healthy Meals A Day - Research has shown that the traditional nutritional advice to eat three square meals a day and cut calories can actually sabotage your efforts to get lean and decrease your BFP.  Recent research has consistently shown that eating four or five smaller healthy meals a day, approximately 3 hours apart, will increase your metabolism and allow you to burn more fat.

"It's just a cold," the doctor said. "There is no cure, and you'll just have to live with it until it goes away."

"But Doctor," the patient whined, "it's making me so miserable."

The doctor rolled his eyes toward the ceiling. Then he said, "Look, go home and take a hot bath. Then put a bathing suit on and run around the block three or four times."

"What!" the patient exclaimed. "I'll get pneumonia!"

"We have a cure for pneumonia," the doctor said.

When the power failed at the elementary school, the cook couldn't serve a hot meal in the cafeteria, so at the last minute she whipped up great stacks of peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches.

As one little boy filled his plate, he said, "It's about time. At last -- a home-cooked meal!"

Calcium, rather than grapefruit juice or coffee, is the best choice for reducing stored fat within the body. Although there is no guarantee that any food or pill will decrease fat storage, research does show that people who consume the most calcium tend to weigh less and have lower levels of body fat than people who take in less calcium.

This month I'm going to discuss some of the causes of Chronic Fatigue.  Here are more to add to that checklist.

Parasites can cause Chronic Fatigue. If you are experiencing diarrhea, bowel problems or itching, then discuss the possibility of parasites with your doctor. If you are looking for an alternative health treatment, then try an herbal program especially prepared for this problem.

Are you having problems with depression? If so, these symptoms can often be confused with Chronic Fatigue. If you are constantly unhappy, a good natural Vitamin B can help along with St. John's Wort. But if you are currently taking Prozac or any other prescription for depression, do not use St. John's Wort.

And finally, immune system damage may be the greatest cause of Chronic Fatigue. Catching frequent colds or flu's can be signs of system damage. The best remedy is a comprehensive supplement program that is high in vitamins A and C.

A healthy lifestyle is the foundation for balanced cholesterol. Start with a whole-foods, vegetable-rich diet high in fiber and avoid processed or refined foods as much as possible. Vegetables contain lots of antioxidant nutrients, which help prevent oxidation of LDL (bad cholesterol) in your blood vessels. Small servings (three ounces, the size of a deck of cards) of fish, poultry, and even red meat provide a good protein balance with vegetables and whole grains. Eggs and tofu are good sources of protein and essential fats. Fiber helps your body to eliminate excess cholesterol, so add a source of supplemental fiber if you're not having regular, easy bowel movements.

Stress is known to cause blood cholesterol to rise. Try to eat according to these guidelines, but don't worry yourself sick over whether you're eating right! Find constructive ways to manage stress in general.

Get some mild to moderate exercise every day if you can. Take your antioxidant supplements, especially vitamin E (which prevents LDL oxidation), alpha-Lipoic acid (which supports the action of vitamin E and other antioxidant vitamins), and proanthocyanidins (PCOs for short, found in grape seed extract and green tea). Be sure to take at least 50 mg of B6, 400 mcg of folic acid, and 100 mcg of B12 daily to keep homocysteine levels in check. Stay Healthy, Dr. Earl Mindell

If you need to lose weight, you must be in caloric deficit. This can be accomplished by cutting down your caloric intake, or increasing the amount of calories you burn by exercising. I recommend both. Even though a calorie is a calorie when it comes to weight loss, a calorie is not a calorie when it comes to your health. Make sure your daily diet includes several servings of fruit and vegetables and whenever possible, avoid foods that contain trans fat.
