When you participate in an exercise program for the purpose of losing pounds and inches, your goal should be to do a lot of interval training along with resistance training. You don't need to spend 2 hours in a gym to achieve your goal. For the purpose of safely losing some pounds and inches, it will suffice to work out between 45 minutes to 1 hour. While working out, make sure your intensity level is high and your workouts are designed to burn maximum amounts of calories. You can easily have different workout routines for everyday you'll like to work out. Try to workout at least 3 to 4 times per week. The more you participate in "SMART WORKOUTS" the more pounds and inches you will lose.
Beginners in the fitness industry are recommended to use heart and calorie monitoring devices to ensure they are working out enough to achieve their goal of burning the desired calorie amounts.
Drink a glass of water in the morning and try to drink another glass every hour or hour and a half until you go to bed.
After your first glass of water, go for a walk or simply workout, the morning is the best time to work out.
Limit your amounts of caffeine. If you are drinking more than a cup of coffee before you leave your house in the morning, try to limit it to only one, and if possible, eliminate it.
If you need a little caffeine in the morning, it is better to drink a small cup of green tea.
Stay away from sugars and sweets.
Do not skip breakfast.
Squeeze a fruit into your breakfast.
When possible, cook your own meals. Do not settle for "a meal in a box". In general, when people eat out, they eat unhealthy, so eat at home or cook it at home.
Consume 2 to 3 fruits per day.
Follow the old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away".

Don't eat 3 big meals, shoot for 6 or 7 smaller ones.
It is ok to have healthy snacks a few times a day.
Don't have your big dinner two hours or less before you go to bed.
After you finish eating dinner, wash dishes, do laundry, clean your house or go for a walk but don't sit down and watch TV, play video games, use the computer or to sleep. (this also applies to us men)
Don't eat until you are full and can't eat anymore, eat until you are satisfied. Always leave room for more water.

Fish is your friend, try eating it 3 times a week.

Stay away from most desserts.
This last tip is mostly overlooked, but it is extremely important for our health. Sleep at least 8 hours. Most of us with a busy lifestyle do not get enough sleep, but our bodies need it to rejuvenate and stay healthy.
