   If you find out how long it takes you to burn 50 calories on the treadmill, and then compare it to how long it takes you to drink 50 calories of orange juice, you’ll quickly realise the secret is in the diet, not the gym.
   What you need to do is record how long it takes for a particular meal to keep you satisfied. You’re looking for the most number of hours for the least number of calories.
   And yes, count every meal until you start losing weight over a period of say 2 months.
