Even the Lance Armstrong's of the world don't do Zone 4 training more than once a week. Doing more would have diminishing returns. Zone 2 is great to get in shape and help yourself lose some fat. Vinnie's Zone 2 heart rate is in the 120s. Take 180, subtrac

Make sure you keep moving. Walking is excellent daily exercise. Think of manual laborers and fitness, for example. Being on your feet all day is good for you.

You CAN eat out and stay NSNG® compliant. Avoid many sauces and dressings. For salad, get olive oil! That's all you need. If a side is a grain, ask for a cruciferous or leafy green vegetable on the side instead. You can get a burger, just ask for no bun. It's certainly harder to eat out at Asian restaurants (many sauces have sugar and bad oils) and Mexican restaurants (it can be hard to say no to chips!).

A lot of "extra virgin olive oil" is not what you think it is. There are websites on which you can check the quality of the olive oil you buy. Villa Cappelli is the real thing. Avoid things like canola oil and similar seed oils. Lots of vitamins contain these oils. Look for options that use healthy oils, li
