Read Your Nutrition Facts!!!

When keeping track of your caloric intake from fats, carbohydrates, and protein, it is important that you read the nutrition facts label. You wouldn't want to eat a full size bag of Fritos BBQ flavored corn chips, because if you did, you would be consuming 10 times the calories of a single serving(150 calories), and if you are by chance on a 1500 calorie a day diet, this full size bag of chips would be it for the day. Now you wouldn't want that, would you? I didn't think so. Don't get me wrong, you can still have your Frito Lays, but you may want to stick to 1 serving, which is 29 chips. Once you understand how to read nutrition facts labeling, you will be able to do a better job planning your meals. For instance, almost every morning I have 2 boiled eggs minus the yolks, 3/4 cups of Total cereal with a 1/2 cup of fat free skim milk, and a medium size orange. That's an average of 235 calories. Now lets say I kept the yolks, doubled my cereal and milk serving, and had a large orange. My caloric intake would then be 520 calories. See what I mean? Now that you understand the importance of reading those handy dandy nutrition facts, the next time you sit down to plan your next meal, you will make better choices.

Keep It Simple: Eat Less, Move More

So you've figured out
how many calories you need to lose weight and you are keeping up with what you eat in your food journal, making adjustments in your diet here and there. Now what? Well, it seems like you've figured out the "eat less" part, now lets get MOVING.

Here are my favorite TOP 2 inexpensive ways for you to get started:

1)Walking (in the park, at the mall, from the farthest parking space to the grocery store, you get the picture)

and

2)Exercise videos(Check out Beachbody's Fitness Programs!)

Now I know that this is just too simple, but trust me, it works. I have been following my own advice since late March of this year, and I have lost 19 lbs so far(Yay Me!)

Anyway, that's it for now.

Keeping a Food Journal is Essential for Weight Loss

Now that you know how many calories that you need to consume in order to lose weight, lets talk about keeping a food journal. It has been proven time and time again that keeping a food journal can lead to successful weight loss. This is because you are able to easily recognize trends in your eating pattern, and then make changes to facilitate weight loss. Now, the trick at first is to eat how you normally eat, and make adjustments from there. For example, lets say you reviewed your food journal after one week of keeping record. After reviewing your food journal, you notice that you skip breakfast alot, you drink way too much soda, and that you eat alot more in the evening. With these simple discoveries, you may decide to cut down on your soda intake and switch to diet soda, and start eating breakfast, which may help with staving off the late evening binging. Do you get it? Good!

How do I get started?

All you need is a notebook, and something to write with.

Or

sign up for an online food journal at MyFoodDiary.com.


I suggest using this online journal because of its motivational charts & reports. Each report or chart is customized to your needs. You can view your progress over time, receive personal tips, and even see what you would weigh in 3 months if every day were like today.

That's all for now :-)
