What makes Fitter, Firmer, Faster so simple to follow?
The diet portion is easy to follow because you don’t have to count calories, carbs or fat grams---you can eat until you are full and satisfied and you lose weight without hunger. Also, our “no gym membership” required workout gets you fit and firm exercising just 30-minutes three days a week.
 
Food, supplements, exercise? Which is most important and why?
When it comes to shedding pounds (and improving health) the most important thing you can do is to change your eating habits and adopt a whole foods diet. The second most important thing you can do is exercise. Finally, adding the right supplements can also help.

Diet is more important than exercise because even if you are exercising for an hour six days a week, if you are eating an extra 500 empty calories a day your exercise sessions could be a “wash” in terms of calorie expenditure. However, exercise is still very important! If you exercise efficiently (interval training with the proper type of resistance training) you can increase your resting metabolism and the after-burn of your workouts significantly and really boost the weight loss benefits of just diet alone. Adding the right supplements (especially the right balance of essential fats) can help improve your body’s sensitivity to insulin, reduce inflammation and curb food cravings therefore facilitating weight loss.
