Resist It!
Working Out with Weights
By Kelly Burgess
You Have to Eat Right, Too!
Last but not least, take a look at your diet and vow to change it. Not just to lose weight, but also to maximize your workouts and to release the great, healthy cook you know is hiding under those new muscles of yours. Prolific cookbook author Steven Raichlen (http://www.barbecuebible.com) is not a fitness expert, but he knows as well as anyone the importance of realistic lifestyle modifications. While working as a restaurant critic, he developed a cholesterol problem -- even though he was never actually overweight. His attempts to control his cholesterol were the inspiration for his High Flavor-Low Fat cookbook series that has won multiple James Beard Awards.
"The only way people will eat healthy food for any length of time is if it tastes good," said Raichlen. "Eating for health's sake simply isn't sufficient incentive."
