Squats are a great exercise for strengthening your lower body, but how low should you go? It might be easier to answer by asking yourself what's the longest distance you can comfortably squat. If it's less than 2-3 inches from the ground, then deep squats may not be right for you. The average depth of a safe and effective squat is 3-4 inches below parallel (the point where the thigh is parallel with the floor).

I'd say dieting is more effective for getting lean, but a recent study shows exercise may be superior to staying lean. It also causes less hunger than dieting to create a deficit. #diettip #getlean #getslim #getleanmealplan #gettingskinnyquick

Eating dinner at the wrong time can be detrimental to weight loss. New research from the University of Surrey has found that eating your evening meal early, before 7pm, could help you lose weight faster than those who ate later in the evening. The study looked at 3 groups of people and their habits around when they ate their dinner: Early Dinner Group (which had a 6-hour window), Late Dinner Group (9 hours) and Nighttime Suppertime Group (12 hours).
