Do you really know what you’re putting into your body?

Why is it so easy to gain weight but hard to lose weight for a majority of people?

Do you know that it takes burning 3500 calories to lose 1 lb of fat?

If you split that up into 7 days you are looking at 500 calories a day you would need to do extra. There is a much easier solution to this, although I do advise bumping your cardio/activity up.

You need to start eating better. Cut out the fast food, sugar, soda, fried foods and substitute them with grilled lean meats, veggies, water, and oats. I promise you within weeks you will not only start feeling better you will start looking better.

Some people need a more custom diet to follow. That’s where Hitch Fit comes in. I can make you an custom diet and workout plan to follow so you are guaranteed results. Hitchfit takes all the thinking and wondering out of the way and gives you a clear roadmap for success.

So next time you are hungry and you get the urge to hit the chain food restaurants, look at the list below and see what you are really eating:

    3500 calories divided by 7 days is 500 calories per day, not 700 calories per day.

    I promote 5 days of cardio per week at 700 calories, doesnt matter how you get there, JUST GET THERE

    There was a typo on the original blog. 7 x 500 =3500 or 5 days x 700 calories, same difference. People like to find errors
