(Remember, weight loss is a balance between exercise and nutrition. Be sure to read all of the questions and answers in this section to understand how these two work together, and how you can take control of your weight loss goals.)

• I-A: What is "healthy" weight loss, and how much should I expect to lose on this program?
• I-B: How important is hydration to weight loss?
• I-C: How much should I be eating? How can I know if I'm eating too much or too little?
• I-D: I am not losing as much as I had hoped to. Should I be doing something differently?
• I-E: What other types of workouts can I do to kick in the weight loss?

II. Interval Workout Questions:

(Remember, weight loss is a balance between exercise and nutrition. Be sure to read all of the questions and answers in this and other sections to understand how these two work together, and how you can take control of your weight loss goals.)

• II-A: What is anaerobic threshold (AT)?
• II-B: Why it is important to exercise based on my AT?
• II-C: Should I stay consistent with the Workout Schedules' mix of the 2-, 3-, and 4-minute intervals, or can I pick my favorite one and stick to that?
• II-D: Can I do more than three intervals a week?
• II-E: Some days I hit AT and can sustain it. Other days, I barely reach it. Why is this? How long do I need to maintain the target heart rate for it to "count" as an interval workout day?
• II-F: Some days I hit AT but, during recovery, I slow way down or stop altogether. How low can my heart rate drop during the recoveries? "
• II-G: If I can't hit my highest Interval (AT +5, for example), should I stop and try again another day, or go ahead with the workout, at a lower AT?
• II-H: What kind of exercise is optimal to do on my off-interval days?

III. Nutrition Questions

• III-E: Are hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats really so bad? Which foods have these in them?
• III-F: These are all great ideas, but how do I eat well if I am dining out?
• III-G: The recipes in the Nutrition & Lifestyle Program look great but some of the ingredients are new to me. Where can I find them?
