Two years ago I was very uncomfortable with my physical appearance because I had let myself become overweight. I made a commitment to begin exercising on a regular basis and to eat better. I lost about 35 pounds in five months and was feeling much better. However, my mind and body had reached a plateau and I was quickly becoming bored and frustrated. I was seeking new ideas, new challenges and new advice to motivate myself. I was also looking to improve muscle tone and definition. That is what brought me to Fit 4 Life. After just a few weeks of slow strength training and following their diet advice, I began to see amazing results. Not only did I lose body fat and increase muscle tone, I felt energized and excited. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. I am grateful for Fit 4 Life because now I am certain that I will continue to be motivated and see results.

To Make Yogurt Cheese:
Place 2 cups low-fat, plain, organic or natural yogurt in a colander lined with two layers of cheesecloth. Place the colander over a large bowl to catch the liquid that drips out of the yogurt. Place this set-up in the refrigerator and let stand overnight. Discard the liquid in the bowl below, and you are left with rich, creamy yogurt cheese. Two cups of yogurt makes one cup of yogurt cheese.
