You have already made the first step in the right direction simply by clicking to bring you here. As there is a lot of information I would like to share, I have broken it down into smaller tidbits in order to not overwhelm you on your first visit.
About Me
I have a degree in Exercise Science and will be attending medical school for the next phase of my life. Repeatedly, I have been asked to share knowledge on exercise programs, weight loss or nutritional regimens. I feel there is no need to pay big bucks to have someone tell you what you can have for free, so I decided to share this information with you here. Click here to visit my blog and find out more about me.
About You
The suggestions written here will depend heavily on your motivation and desire to obtain success. Since you are here I can assume you are motivated to at least feel better in general, but it will take some changes that may not be fun at first. You may want bookmark this page or link to me, as there will be a lot here. Seeing on paper your personal situation will better enable you to be successful so keep track of numbers, weights, goals or anything you find that may help keep you on target.
The Secret
If you keep this little secret in mind through all of this, you will not only understand better, but you will not have to remember so much in the end.
**Energy in must be decreased and energy out must be increased.**
Energy In
I will keep things as simple as possible as the technicalities mean very little to most people. Calories have a lot to do with making the change and are usually the first place to start. Remember the food pyramid, well it serves a purpose. The new pyramid has great features to help plan a nutritional diet in addition to setting up recommendations for you when you personally when you enter your information.
Fast paced lives lead to little time for cooking healthy meals. It is strongly encouraged that eating out anywhere - fast food, restaurants, cafeterias - occurs one time a week or less. More than that will often put you over your calorie allowance. This will not only be healthier, but it will save you money in the long run.
Check back next week for the second lesson where we will continue to explore the weighty side of Energy In. Before then, build your pyramid, and visit my blog.
