Welcome to FreeTrainers!

The general concept of weight loss is the same for everyone: create a calorie deficit. Nationality can play a role on the genetic level, but at this point don't let that concern you. Establish a good diet and exercise program that will work for you and tweak it when you need to. This website is packed with valuable resources. If you need anything just search the forum. I you can't find what you're looking for, don't hesitate to ask.
