Weight Loss Hint--Is Your TV Making You Fat?
One of the best ways to avoid overeating and under-exercising is to turn off the TV, says William Dietz, MD, PhD, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Studies have shown that the more TV people watch, the less they move and the more they weigh. And if Jeopardy or Entertainment Tonight are your nightly dinner companions, you're probably eating more too. Where your kids watch makes a difference in their weight too: Research also shows that children with TVs in their bedrooms are more likely to be overweight.
Reduce the number of TVs in your home, and don't watch TV during meals, directs Karen Lewis, program director of the Washington, DC-based TV-Turnoff Network. "If a TV is the focal point of your room, move it to a less prominent location," she says. Or hide it in an entertainment center that has a door you can close, cover it with a beautiful piece of fabric or a quilt, or put a painting on an easel or a folding screen in front of it. And before you turn it on, check a program guide to see if there's anything you really want to watch.

Nutrition Hint--Buffet 101
Buffet 101: Start with a glass of water to take the edge off your hunger. This will help you to avoid grabbing the first delicious-looking (but potentially fattening) things you see. And always take a lap around the place before you even pick up a plate. This way, you can check out all the offerings and plan your meal. Then fill most of your plate with the healthiest stuff, leaving only a little room for more decadent items. Also, when it comes to your entrée, plan on sticking to one plateful; don't go back for seconds. This allows you to see exactly how much food you're taking in altogether, so you'll be less likely to overdo it. Another great tip? Pick a table far from the buffet, and sit facing away from the food. You'll be less tempted to make another trip.

Metabolism Retraining Hint--Is All That Cardio Making You Burn Less Fat?
All cardio and no strength isn't just boring, it may cause you to burn fewer calories overall.
Add strength training to your cardio to speed up fat loss - cardio alone can actually burn muscle tissue, and you need muscle tissue to burn fat even while you're at rest. All cardio and no strength isn't just boring, it may cause you to burn fewer calories overall. "Strength training builds lean muscle mass, which both increases your metabolism and decreases fat," says celebrity trainer Elizabeth Hendrix Burwell, co-owner of High Performance Gym. "So the more muscle you build, the more calories you burn on a day-to-day basis."
Some strength training workouts can even double as cardio: A recent study by the American Council on Exercise found that kettlebell exercises can burn up to 20 calories a minute-the equivalent of running at a 6-minute mile pace! Maximize your weekly workouts' weight-loss benefits by incorporating up to four non-consecutive days a week of resistance-based exercise such as kettlebells, TRX, and weight lifting.
