What follows are the rules to leanness that really matter. And really work!

Pretend you are a tailor.  Measure everyting - your neck, chest, waist, arms, thighs, calves.  Write it all down, and put it someplace where you  will have to look at it every day.  Record your weight too, although that is less important.

Your goal:  Maintain or reduce the size of your waist while increasing the size of everything else. Repeat your measurements every 4 weeks.

To change your weight, follow the 15/500 rule.  Making radical changes to your diet -  starving yourself to lose weight or stuffing yourself to gain -  is futile. If you are trying to lose weight, you will slow your metabolism to a crawl.  If you are trying to gain, the excess calories will include a lot of fat.  Here is a more sensible strategy.

To lose weight:  Cut your daily food intake by a maximum of 15 percent or 500  calories, whichever is less. 
        
To gain weight:  Increase your daily intake -  EVERY DAY - by 15 percent or 500 calories, whichever is less.
