This list is complied with the help of Charles T. Kuntzleman, Ed.D., adjunct associate professor at the University of Michigan

When it comes to exercising

1. Anything is better than nothing
2. More is better than less
3. Faster is better than slower

When it comes to diet

1. Nothing is better than anything
2. Les sis better than more
3. Slower is better than faster

Before you start starving yourself and running like a rat on a treadmill, allow us to explain.

1. If there is one message researches wish we would get it’s this: Get off your duff and do something. Take a walk. Play tennis. Do the hokey pokey. Anything you do will burn more fat than just standing still.

2. The greater the intensity of your workout, the more you’ll burn. Simple enough

3. Not only that, the faster you go, the more calories you’ll use.

Now, on the diet side of the equation:

4. We’re not suggesting that you fast. What we are suggesting is that when the hors d’oeuvre tray tray comes around, you let it pass right by.
5. Which brings us to our central diet axiom: You can carve away some of that gut by carving extra calories out of your diet.
6. Finally, it is better to both eat slowly and lose weight slowly. The slower you eat, the sooner you’ll feel full, which means you’ll eat less. And when it comes to losing pounds, research has shown that you’re much more likely to keep weight off if you take it off slowly and steadily.
