Think Your Way Thin With A Calorie Counter Guide
Your greatest weapon in the war against your weight is your mind, but you need to give it the ammunition it needs in the form of a calorie counter guide. Losing weight isnt easy, so you need to be as informed and aware as possible to help make it as painless as possible.
The very first step is to know what youre putting in your body, which is where a calorie counter guide will come in handy. The sad fact is most people dont have any real awareness of how much food theyre putting into their body or how many calories are in what.
A calorie counter guide is the answer to that. Simply put, a calorie counter guide is a book or, if you want get high tech, computer program that tells you how many calories are in the food youre eating. This will allow you to track how much youre eating and finally get a grip on the calories youre taking in.
With the multitude of diets out there, its very easy to lose track of the fact that whatever method they use; theyre all basically trying to do one thing: reduce calories coming in to below the number going out. This is the one fundamental law of weight loss; you must burn more than youre taking in.
The thing is, if you dont have some idea of how many calories youre taking in, its going to be very hard to make any progress towards getting control of your weight. You could just started running ten miles a day, but getting hold of a calorie counter guide seems like a much easier solution.
Like anything else, though, even the best calorie counter guide isnt going to do you a bit of good if you dont use it. This means that youre going to have to start measuring and recording what you eat. You wont need to do this forever, but you will have to do it for a while.
Eventually, youll get a feel for eyeballing the amount youre eating, but at first you need to measure them, either by eating things that are pre measured, or by using a scale. In a pinch, you can just estimate, but you wont be getting the most out of your calorie counter guide if you do that.
What youre trying to do here is establish a baseline of calories, the level where you are neither gaining nor losing weight. Once you know how many calories you need to keep your weight stable, you can look at reducing the level youre taking in so that you begin to lose weight.
The best way to do this isnt to just start eliminating foods willy nilly. If you do that, youre just going to get hungrier and hungrier until you snap take out an entire all you can eat buffet.
The better method is to replace some of the higher calorie foods with lower calories foods, which is something that a calorie counter guide can help with. Most low calorie foods are actually higher in bulk, so this displacement actually helps in two ways. But you need to know to lose, so you need a calorie counter guide.
BONUS : Three Day Diets The Fastest Way To Lose Weight
There are a lot of three day diets out there, and its no surprise why theyre so popular. The diets differ in what you get to eat and how you use them, but they all make the same promise: rapid weight loss. Very rapid weight loss.
The general promise is six pounds over the course of the diet. Since most people struggle to lose a pound a week, the promises of the three day diets are very appealing. But these diets do raise two big questions; do they work and are they safe?
Do they work? Yes and no. If you need to drop some pounds quickly to look your best for an event, then these three day diets can be extremely effective, because if followed as instructed, they will help you drop pounds and inches.
The problem is that they arent really designed for long term weight loss, which is why they are three day diets and not thirty year diets. They work mostly by causing a very rapid loss due to low carbohydrates and low salt content. Which is fine, because if youre using them as a quick fix, thats exactly what you want them to do.
But the weight will come back almost immediately when you resume normal eating habits, which is true of pretty much every diet. The three day diets are also, by their nature, very low in bulk, which means that your midsection will slim out quickly because theres not much in your intestines.
The three day diets do lead to actual fat loss as well, since by their nature they are low in calories and they are short enough that there is no metabolic slowdown as you would get if you stayed on the program longer. Depending on your size and activity level, its unreasonable to expect to see from one to three pounds of actual fat loss.
Are they safe? Yes, usually. Frankly, a lot of people worry about the safety of diets a lot more than they really should. The human body is an immensely adaptable machine, and you can eat pretty much anything foodwise for short periods with no ill effects, or nothing at all.
Certainly, most of the three days diets are perfectly safe for a normal person who doesnt have a preexisting illness. You cant develop nutritional deficiencies over the course of three days. In addition, most of the three day diets actually have you eating healthier than the average person does normally.
Typically, the diets have you eating mostly meat, vegetables and fruit over the course of the three days, and elimination starches and sugar. This is actually a big improvement over the way the normal person eats, and the chance of you becoming deficient in vitamins or nutrients, even over the long term, is virtually non existent.
The problem with three day diets is that they are also extremely low in calories, typically below 1000 calories, and often much below. This is simply not enough calories even if you are trying to lose weight, and so you cant say that the three day diets are safe for extended use.
What you can do is do a three on, four off version of the diet. In the three day period, do the diets exactly as planned, but for the next four days, eat the same foods without limiting portions. This will prevent metabolic slowdown and help make the three day diets work for you.
