Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    When you start exercising, you’ll be replacing fat with muscle. Because muscle weighs more than fat, your weight may not drop much at first. Instead of using the scale to measure whether you’ve lost or gained, go by how much more energy you have, how well your clothes fit or most importantly, by how well you feel overall.
