Adding Muscle can help with weight loss ???

I heard one of the best ways to stop gaining weight is to power up your metabolism by increasing muscle mass. Experts recommend strength training a few times week to both retain and build muscle.

Muscle is metabolically active, and to minimize naturally occurring muscle loss, you need to be physically active every day, including resistance training two to three times a week. By being active, you can enjoy more calories without gaining weight -- if you choose your calories wisely.

And change up your fitness routine every six to eight weeks to keep your body from getting too accustomed to your workout.

It has to be challenging; otherwise, it won’t work. So lovely ladies, you can try it !!!!

Can I get fat just by smelling, say...cookies?????

You know how good cookies smell right? Remember the movie "Michael" in which John Travolta played Michael the arch angel (an old movie...lol...) ... he smell like cookies in the movie... Well that's what it is. Cookies is practically heavenly!!! But also very fattening, the question is,  if we smell it, do we get fat even if we dont put it in our mouths?

The experts say NO! thank goodness!!! It's like these cookies or whatever smells good or bad is just giving off smell molecules- that drift into our nose.... we register the 'smell' be it good or bad. You just breathe in & breathe out these molecules- so you dont actually ingest invisible particles of cookies
