Blog on weight, How to Lose Fat on the Cheap

You can get discouraged when you're trying to lose weight and you see thin and fit people eating more than you and you still can't lose weight. Losing weight requires you to eat fewer calories than your body burns. This is the complicated part of losing weight. "How many calories does my body burn in one day?"  Most people will get this question wrong. Everyone's different, women are different from men and your size also matters. The more body fat you have the fewer calories you burn. That's a general statement, so I'll explain, let's take two men or two women that weight the same, one of the two will have more body fat, the one with more fat will burn calories slower. So, what's the difference how I burn calories? Well, if you burn calories slower than your friend, you will burn fewer calories per day. Which means you have to eat fewer calories per day or you'll gain more fat. Maybe your friend is more physical than you. You work at a des

Have you ever wondered what you can eat on a fat-free diet? I like fat-free meals for losing weight. But you need to remember that sugar doesn't have any fat. Some fat-free foods are loaded with sugar and sodium to give them flavor.  If you're truly going to lose your fat, you should eat fresh foods. And be careful what you drink. Drinks can be half of a persons daily calorie intake. If you already have a weight problem, it can be much harder to lose your fat because you might have health problems that you're unaware of like high blood pressure due to too much sodium or water retention or a slow metabolism.  Read the blog post below from VeryWell.com and it might give you a few ideas to help your diet. Fat-Free Canned Foods.   Canned foods can be good for dieters on a budget. Foods that are canned generally last longer and can be reheated quickly and conveniently. If you are watching your sodium intake, check the Nutrition Facts label before you buy. Some fat-free

Which Is the Best Day of the Week to Weigh Yourself? This is a great post. Beginners often get discouraged because they think they aren't getting anywhere. If you're not weighing yourself the right way you might not really understand that your weight fluctuates from day to day and that's normal. You can be losing weight every day but it's ounces per day, not pounds. This blog post is from VeryWell.com and will tell you the truth about weighing yourself. First I should explain that there are several "schools of thought" about weighing yourself. Some trainers will tell you to weigh yourself every day, they say it keeps you focused on your diet. Others say to only weigh-in once a week, otherwise, you can get discouraged. I'm in the camp that thinks you should weigh-in once a week. There's no point in weighing in too often. Your weight fluctuates from day to day and that's normal and even if you're losing weight every day it's only ounce

Have you ever wondered what happened to your energy? Clients would email me constantly about the lack of energy. I ask them about their diet, what they're eating and how often do they eat, and the most important question, how much extra weight do you have? You see, you lose energy because you're carrying around too much fat and you probably are not eating the right food to give you energy.

By Lisa Lillien, a.k.a. Hungry Girl  This lady writes a great blog on healthy food so if you have a chance, check it out.

Which Is Better for Weight Loss? By  Yasmine Ali, MD There are so many diets out there for weight loss, it is hard to know where to start and which to choose. Some recent research helps shed light on the long-running low-fat vs. low-carb debate. I found this blog post on WebMD and I think it tells the whole story. Rethinking Low-Fat A number of studies have now shown that low-fat diets may not be the best choice when it comes to weight loss, or even when it comes to preventing cardiovascular disease. One study that looked at weight-loss results in individuals following either a low-fat or low-carb diet for a year found that those who followed the low-carb diet lost nearly 8 pounds more than did those who followed the low-fat diet. Importantly, those on a low-carb diet also saw a greater reduction in cholesterol-based cardiovascular risk factors. In a review of over 50 clinical trials that have examined the low-fat vs. low-carb question, researchers concluded that e
