Weight loss is simple math really. Companies like to make it seem to complicated so they can generate more money, but in reality it is very simple. The less calories you take in, the more you put out, the less you will weigh. Sometimes the goal is just to maintain, to stay the same weight....accounting for slowing of metabolism as we age, and general life changes.
So what if you need to fit into that little black dress in 4 weeks? How can you safely loose 5 pounds? If you think about it in math terms, it is easy. Say you burn about 1,900 calories per day, you don't exercise. If you are consuming 2,200 calories per day you will not loose weight obviously. So, in order to change that we would need to keep track of daily intake of calories, see how much we are taking in and then make changes. Also, by adding 30 minutes of walking per day and or other forms of exercise we could increase the metabolism to burn more calories.
By substituting different foods for healthies version we can shave off up to 1,000 calories safely each day. Instead of eating or drinking these items, try there slim twin for weigh loss results.
Tall vanilla latte sub. tall sugar free non-fat latte= 200 calories saved
handful of Cheezits sub small apple= 300 calories saved
2 pieces of pizza sub Lean Cuisine personal pizza=600 calories saved
blueberry muffin sub. 2 pieces of whole wheat bread w/ honey= 250 calories saved
strawberry margarita sub. glass of rosy white wine= 450 calories saved
Well, you get the idea....by writing down what you eat in the day and seeing where you can make changes, you can save alot of calories and thus loose weight.And by beginning to exercise you can loose even more and begin to take care of your body.
