The bottom line when it comes to weight loss, it is not what you are eating but how much.  It is the old adage, calories in vs. calories out,  that plays the biggest role when comes to losing weight.  This does not mean that you should not strive to eat a well balanced heart healthy diet.  Eating good nutritious foods plays a critical role in maintaining our overall health and well being.

So to lose weight: Eat Well, Eat Less, Exercise Consistently and Exercise with Intensity
