If You Dont Track Your Diet? You Are Wasting Your Time
Frankly, I'm puzzled whenever I hear this from somebody who's frustrated with their lack of gains: Me: So what are you eating? How many calories per day and how many do you need' Them: I don't know. I just eat. Huh' Yes, it's true. People don't track their diets, don't calculate their calories and just guess at what they need. They have no idea where they are going, very little facts on how to get there and yet are frustrated and mad when 6 weeks later they don't see the results. Imagine, for a moment, that's it's 6-months from today. And you've made no progress. Wouldn't you be frustrated'! I sure would. But here's the deal, there's a real simple method to make sure you don't end up like so many people you'll hear about. Please don't be the person who just "eats" or does whatever without a plan. If you aren't tracking your diet you are wasting your time! Let me explain' In order for your body to change, you must do something different. Let's suppose that you want to burn as much fat as possible. What's the first thing you should do now that you have a long-term goal in mind' Here's a h-i-n-t! Make a plan! A quick plan for losing fat: 1. Determine how many calories a day you need based on your situation 2. Track your daily food intake (yes you should count calories Bodybuilding manuals go into great detail about how to calculate your caloric intake, giving formulas and such. Anyway, a typical conversation might go like this: "Excuse me? My wife made spaghetti bolognaise yesterday, I can't be asked to weigh my meals in order to count the calories, can I? (What would she think about me (not to mention what I would think about myself ;-) ') I tried to go to fitday.com and calculate the calories, but it totally eluded me how many grams they were and looking for pasta and meat in different categories is a hassle anyway, so the site was no use for me with that. Good heavens, there must be a way to go without the calorie counting, mustn't it'" Despite what you may have heard' Tracking your diet (counting calories) is important and I'll tell you why and how you can get around the whole calorie counting ordeal. You see, in order to lose fat or gain muscle you need to know what you are eating in order to do such. Let's say you need 3000 calories a day to maintain your current weight at your current activity levels. Now you decide you want to lose fat. Training more and more, more cardio, longer sessions will just tire you out. You can bump up the cardio and do certain fat loss tips and techniques but overall keep in mind: Where do I burn the fat: 80% of fat loss comes from diet and 20% from cardio. As you can see, the area you want to manipulate is the diet. Back to the example. You decide to lose the fat. You know you need 3000 a day to maintain. You do some calorie calculations and find that you want to be aggressive and cut your calories by 20%. It's aggressive but it's just enough to get fast results without making your body go into a 'starvation mode' and hold onto everything it's got. Except you don't want to count calories. That's sort of like saying... I want to start in New York and get to California but I don't want a map or directions. I just want to drive West. It just won't work. You might zig zag here and there. Maybe one week you'll eat less and lose a pound. The next on vacation you'll overdo it and gain 5 pounds. Who knows. You won't. But do you have to count each calorie? And especially when you look at homemade items that have some many ingredients? What do you do' While this isn't the most accurate method, I just basically get a good estimate by looking up the general food item, quantity I consumed and input that. Over time, because I eat a lot of the same things for breakfast, I already know the calories and I don't need to track it anymore. I know via portions that a bowl of oats is such and such calories and how it adds into my total daily allowance. I personally do not weight each piece of food. I will go to lunch, look at what I'm eating and know generally what portions of what I ate. At the end of the day, I know roughly that I'm 20% below my maintenance for fat loss and 20% above for weight gain. The problem that most people have is exactly what you describe. They DO NOT want to track what they eat. The bottom line is, if you don't know where you are, and where you are going, you really don't know how you'll get there and it's no wonder so many people are frustrated. Look, you don't have to track every single piece of food you put into your mouth. And I know that when there's a home cooked meal, you aren't likely to know what's in it. But you can and should generally get an idea. Eventually you can track your portions if you tend to eat a lot of the same things every day. If you don't track your diet, you are wasting your time.

South Beach Diets and Fast Food Franchises Franchised Business Models and American Diets could be at odds. Yes there is significant issues with this in franchising. First before I get into my discussion for fear of someone, screaming foul. I would like to point to Krispy Kreme's recent crash as an example of the changes in consumer buying behavior. We also noticed the IFA-International Franchise Association and the comments made by the Restaurant Association calling this Atkins, South Beach Low Carb Diet a mere fad. I can understand why the IFA wishes to help their members by quoting articles such as this one: Measuring and Monitoring Your Bodyfat: Improves Overall Health With so many diets and fads being offered on the market today, it is no wonder why people are not just confused about weight loss and health, but in many cases, actually doing their body more harm than good. Unfortunately, one of the aspects of dieting that you see most often is the reduction or elimination of fat. The problem is that the body needs a certain amount of fat to function but without going over a healthy level. As you will see in this article, knowing what the right level is and how to monitor it are crucial to overall health and wellness. Aerobics Imposters In health clubs, they run classes that call themselves "aerobics". As you will come to see, they are neither aerobic, nor are they the best way to lose the excess fat. The main thing they accomplish for you is losing weight from your wallet. Plan Your Way to Weight Loss Success Like millions of men and women, I started resolving to exercise more and lose the weight for good. Months later, I haven't been to the gym any more frequently than last time I resolved to lose weight and exercise. Why not? I meant well. I had the best intentions. But according to experts I failed because I didn't have a plan. Bye-Bye Bread I don't know about you, but I absolutely love bread - not the soft, fluffy, rubber stuff sold as an edible napkin, but the scrunchy, chewy, whole grain staff of life bread. I can pass by decorated cakes without a twinge and eyeball ice cream as if were something alien and unappealing. But show me a slice of rich pumpernickel or marbled rye, and my knees buckle. There are breads that make sandwich filling unimportant: olive and herb rolls, panetone, extra sourdough, cheese rolls, raisin bagels, onion bread, poppyseed, sesame seed, and caraway. Fat Burning Exercise: Choose One That Can Revive Your Bodys Own Fat Burning Dynamism Fat burning exercise is not merely one that will burn fat on its own. Can it rekindle the body's intrinsic fat burning mechanisms?

Heres A Diet That Wont Work How's this for a diet: Take in fewer calories than you expend and you'll lose weight. I just read another article that suggested this as the sure-fire way to lose weight. Of course it's true, and about as useful as telling an alcoholic he can beat his problem by not drinking. Yeah, right. Abdominal Liposuction - When Diets Dont Work Abdominal liposuction refers to liposuction, or lipoplasty, that is performed on the torso area. Most candidates for this procedure have attempted a diet and exercise routine but are unable to achieve their goal of a flatter stomach. It is very common that fat deposits in the abdominal area are difficult to diminish, especially in women after childbirth. The abdominal area is generally one of the best areas of the body for this type of cosmetic surgery. However, as with most cosmetic surgeries, abdominal liposuction is generally not considered medically necessary and risk factors should be considered.
