Replacing bad foods with healthy foods is critical for your weight loss and fat loss success.

Its never too late to build muscle and eat right.What about your weight loss? Can you sustain it? Or, will you weigh 40 pounds more in 2 months than you do today? Sure, you can starve yourself and lose 25 pounds in 2 weeks. But, when you begin to eat again, you will put the pounds back on.

This way, you will maintain important muscle mass and burn fat.Some factors that affect metabolism include age, heredity, gender and lean muscle mass. Men tend to have faster metabolisms than women. Thyroid problems may also cause your metabolism to slow down.

Here are 10 Conversations to Have With Your Personal Trainer:
1. The first conversation to have with your trainer?

Liposuction is actually meant to remove deep fat tissue (visceral fat) which is a good thing. But, even with surgery, you will need to be consistent with strength training, cardio training and healthy nutrition to give you the lean and toned body you want.
Cosmetic surgery can be helpful in dealing with loose skin caused by major weight loss.
