How to Count Calories to Lose Weight - The Basic Blueprint

Posted in: Nutrition, Nutrition Tips, Tips, Weight Loss    |    Comment     

Okay, before we start with the blueprint, I want everybody to keep this in mind: it’s not “weight” you want to lose, but “fat.”
Everybody calls it “weight loss,” but, believe me, you don’t want to be losing muscle in your quest for a thinner body. I’ll be using terms like weight loss and lose weight, but I really mean “fat loss” and “losing fat.”

What I’ve got for you is a 5 step “blueprint” to lose weight by counting calories, covering how many calories you should eat in a day to lose to carb/protein/fat ratios, and more.

If you grab a pen and a piece of paper to write down numbers as you read along, you’ll have a calorie counting plan by the end of it all.

How to Make Sense of Food Labels

Posted in: Nutrition, Nutrition Tips, Nutrition Tips, Weight Loss    |    Comment     

We all understand how important it is not to eat too much fat, too many carbohydrates or sugar in our diet. However the majority of us don’t know how much and what is in the food we buy in the supermarket. Luckily all items that are packaged have to by law, include what’s in them, for example they have to tell you how much salt and fat is in the item. These have to be clearly labeled on the product that makes it so much simpler, or does it?

How Many Extra Meals Are You Carrying Around?

Posted in: Motivation, Nutrition, Nutrition Tips, Nutrition Tips, Spotlight, Weight Loss    |    5 Comments     

Here’s a different way to look at all the extra fat you’re carrying around. See, your body stores any extra calories you eat as fat, right? Your body thinks, “Hey, it might be awhile before we get some food, so let’s stash away all this extra energy.”

The problem is, for most of you reading this, the next meal is not very far away. You don’t even have to go out to “hunt and gather” — chances are you’ll “walk and raid (the fridge)” or “drive and order (some fast food).”

So, for every 3500 extra calories you eat, your body gains 1lb of fat.

Let’s say, for the sake of argument (and easier calculations!) that an average, healthy meal is 500 calories (normal portion consisting of protein, carbs and some fat).

That would make 1lb of extra fat the equivalent of SEVEN meals!

Eat Clean and Lose Weight

Posted in: Nutrition, Nutrition Tips, Nutrition Tips, Tips, Weight Loss    |    Comment     

Chemicals, preservatives, toxins, artificial sweeteners and food coloring, even pesticide residues are consumed every day by the average person. The more processed food consumed, the more fast food consumed, the higher the level of these irritants. Unfortunately the human body becomes overloaded and can’t remove these substances effectively and they start to build up. When that happens it’s difficult to lose weight because the metabolism slows down. What can you do? Eat clean and lose weight.
