Don't Be Afraid of Carbs
Don't Be Afraid of Carbs Carbohydrates are a scary word for most women, and many are quick to cut carbs when they're trying to figure out how to lose body fat. While you should definitely be aware of the type of carbs you're scarfing down, Karena and Katrina say you shouldn't remove them from your diet altogether. "Carbs are vital, and they're how you burn fat," the Tone It Up duo says. "Remember in science class? 'Fat burns in a carbohydrate flame.' You just need to make sure you're incorporating the right carbs."

Karena and Katrina recommend replacing processed & packaged carbs (think: pasta, breads, breakfast cereals) with carbohydrates rich in fiber and nutrients, like sweet potatoes, quinoa, brown rice, whole-wheat wraps, brown rice wraps and oatmeal. These "good carbs" help to balance blood sugar levels, tone up muscle and shed body fat.
