A DSLR photo of burning white paper with a word FAT written on it. It's a real fire with real flames. Can be used as a concept of dieting, weight loss, etc.

Good Signs to look out for!

Your metabolism is switching from favouring sugar to stored (unnecessary) fat when;

You start beating your alarm, but feel ready to go!

Your exercise heart rate is lower at your usual speed.

You wake a tad hungry but not enough to eat before exercise.

Near all sugar cravings disappear.

Contrary to popular media driven belief, 'hard' exercise for most people is grossly inappropriate. Most should never exceed rhythmic conversational pace effort until their aerobic base has been sufficiently established.

Hard exercise, for most people, WILL drive weight gain!
