STOP OBSESSING ABOUT CARBS AND FAT - WHAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO ARE CALORIES!!!!

To lose a pound, you have to  burn 3,500 calories or trim them from your diet.  Here are some helpful tips to get you started on your weight loss goals:

-  KNOW YOUR CALORIES.  Only four components of food supply calories:  carbs and protein have 4 gm, alcohol 7 gm, fat 9 gm. 

- FIGURE OUT HOW MANY CALORIES you can eeat and still drop pounds.  You can get a ballpark figure by multiplying your current weight by 12.

-LEAVE THE ROOM FOR SPLURGES.  Eat foods that are low-calorie but filling on days you want a little more diet wiggle room.    If you know that you are going out for dinner...eat lower calories during the day to allow yourself a little more room a guilt free enjoyment at dinner.

My challenge for ALL of YOU this week is to food journal for four days CONSISTENTLY!!  The more conscious you are about what you put in your mouth, the more likely you are to eat "clean".

Have a great week!  ~ Carli
