Day 30. How do you burn fat??

This morning I thought I'd do some research and figure out how fat really gets burned.  This article was quite interesting.   It says that weightlifting for the first 30 minutes followed by moderate intensity exercise offers the best fat burning response.  http://www.umich.edu/~medfit/resistancetraining/timingiseverything101705.html

I also liked this article...

"Every time you start to eat, check your hunger level.  Ideally, aim for around a level of 3 to begin eating.  If you are at a 5 or above, you are not biologically hungry.  If you are at 2 or lower, you're likely over hungry and at risk for overeating."  Scale and comments taken from the book "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
