Calories -- knowing how to find them, how to count them and how to cut them, are key to lose
weight on your own. Calorie counting is easy and effective. This article will help you
understand what you need to know about calories.
The first step to losing weight by counting calories is to understand what a calorie is and how
it applies to your weight. A calorie is a unit of measurement that measures the amount of
energy contained in a food or beverage.
Your body uses caloric energy to perform everything from basic biological functions to typing
on your keyboard or jogging around the block. We all have a certain caloric requirement
needed to maintain our current weight; if you eat fewer -- or burn more -- calories than that,
you will eventually lose weight. This is called a caloric deficit. A good rule of thumb is that a
caloric deficit of 3,500 calories leads to a weight loss of approximately one pound. How Many
Calories do You Need?
There is something called the Harris-Benedict formula that uses a mathematical formula to
determine your caloric needs based on your sex, weight, and activity level; the result is known
as your Basal Metabolic Rate. The U.S. government provides a chart of suggested daily caloric
needs as part of the My Pyramid.gov Web site. Additionally, Calorie Count Plus allows you to
type in your weight, activity level and weight loss goals and receive caloric intake
recommendations when you sign up for a free account.
Once you know the number of calories you need in order to maintain your weight, you can
create your own caloric goals for losing weight. It's up to you how many calories you cut from
your daily diet. Remember, it takes a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories for you to lose a pound.
Most people find it easiest and most effective to cut between 250 and 500 calories a day.
Beware of cutting calories too low (below 1,200) as doing so can put your health at risk.
The next step in counting calories is to learn how to read a food label to identify the caloric
content of foods and beverages, or to find the calorie count for the item with another method,
such as using your computer.
The products you purchase at the store have a label on them called the Nutrition Facts label.
Here you will find a great deal of information about the food's nutritional content, including total
number of calories per serving. The calories are located just below the thick black line and the
words "Amount per serving". It is important that you also note the serving size listing on the
label, which is located at the top, just below the "Nutrition Facts" heading.
You can also use Calorie Count Plus to search for the nutritional information for many different
types of foods, including restaurant foods, for free.
Additionally, food manufacturers, fast food restaurants, and other restaurant chains often
provide the calorie information for their foods posted in the dining room, in a brochure, or on
their Web site.
Portion control is the most important step of calorie counting. You must begin measuring your
food based on serving sizes in order to successfully count calories. For example, if a potato
chip brand has 120 calories per serving, but you eat straight from the bag, how can you
possibly know how many calories you have consumed? Adhering to the listed serving size is
the key to tracking your caloric intake.
The simplest way to begin to track your portions is to buy and use a simple measuring cup.
Many foods such as cereal and pasta are measured by the 1/2 cup or cup. Fluid ounces, such
as a beverages, can also be measured with a measuring cup. Some foods such as peanut
butter, pancake syrup, or jam are measured by the tablespoon. A few foods, such as stick
margarine, can be difficult to measure with a spoon; a serving of margarine, for example, can
be measured by using the "ruler" provided on the the product's packaging.
Other foods will list a serving as "x number of slices" or "x pieces" such a deli meat or candy,
where you can simply count out the number of pieces that make a serving.
Some foods list a weight, such as an ounce, as a serving, which requires the use of a kitchen
scale. However, if you search for that same food on a caloric database such as Calorie Count
Plus, you may find an alternative form of measurement is provided, such as cups or "portion
of package."
Lastly, many foods are available in "single serving" size packages. This means that you can
eat all of the food in the package for the listed number of calories. It's important that you don't
assume a package is a single serving. Look on the package's nutrition label and find the
"servings per package" or "servings per container" section. If it says "1" then you do not need
to measure or count the food to know your caloric intake.
You can easily track your caloric intake online at Calorie Count Plus by searching for and
saving the foods and beverages you eat and trackig your caloric intake with a feature called
your "eat meter". Calorie Count Plus also helps you track the calories you burn with physical
activity with the "burn meter".
If you don't have access to a computer at all times, buying a simple notebook and a book that
lists calorie counts for many types of foods will work. (Simply write your calorie goal at the top
and subtract the calorie content of each food or beverage you consume as the day
progresses.) You may also want to consider starting a food diary to assess problem areas or
emotional eating issues.
Review your daily diet as often as possible to identify ways to cut calories. It will probably be
easy to find many "painless" ways to reduce your caloric intake. For example, if you are
consistently going over your calorie goal by 100 calories, cutting out just one can of soda will
eliminate that overage.
It's important that you identify foods to eliminate (or cut back on) with good nutrition in mind. A
healthy diet is comprised of protein, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and some
fat. Simply avoiding high-calorie foods such as sodas, candies, cookies, chips, and fried foods,
will help you avoid many extra calories. Before you decide to eliminate or choose a particular
food, consider its nutritional value.(In other words, don't cut out a glass of orange juice in favor
of using those calories for a cookie!)
To ensure you are eating a healthy diet, you can use the dietary guidelines offered by the U.S.
goverment MyPyramid.gov Web site or the American Diabetes Association exchange diet if
you are diabetic.

7/2011The new research, by five nutrition and public health experts at
Harvard University, is by far the most detailed long-term analysis of the
factors that influence weight gain, involving 120,877 well-educated
men and women who were healthy and not obese at the start of the
study. In addition to diet, it has important things to say about exercise,
sleep, television watching, smoking and alcohol intake.
The study participants — nurses, doctors, dentists and veterinarians in
the Nurses' Health Study, Nurses' Health Study II and the Health
Professionals Follow-up Study — were followed for 12 to 20 years.
Every two years, they completed very detailed questionnaires about
their eating and other habits and current weight. The fascinating
results were published in June in The New England Journal of
Medicine.
The analysis examined how an array of factors influenced weight gain
or loss during each four-year period of the study. The average
participant gained 3.35 pounds every four years, for a total weight gain
of 16.8 pounds in 20 years.
"This study shows that conventional wisdom — to eat everything in
moderation, eat fewer calories and avoid fatty foods — isn't the best
approach," Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist and epidemiologist
at the Harvard School of Public Health and lead author of the study,
said in an interview. "What you eat makes quite a difference. Just
counting calories won't matter much unless you look at the kinds of
calories you're eating."
Dr. Frank B. Hu, a nutrition expert at the Harvard School of Public
Health and a co-author of the new analysis, said: "In the past, too much
emphasis has been put on single factors in the diet. But looking for a
magic bullet hasn't solved the problem of obesity."
Also untrue, Mozaffarian said, is the food industry's claim that there's
no such thing as a bad food.
"There are good foods and bad foods, and the advice should be to eat
the good foods more and the bad foods less," he said. "The notion that
it's OK to eat everything in moderation is just an excuse to eat
whatever you want."
The study showed that physical activity had the expected benefits for
weight control. Those who exercised less over the course of the study
tended to gain weight, while those who increased their activity didn't.
Those with the greatest increase in physical activity gained 1.76 fewer
pounds than the rest of the participants within each four-year period.
But the researchers found that the kinds of foods people ate had a
larger effect overall than changes in physical activity.
"Both physical activity and diet are important to weight control, but if
you are fairly active and ignore diet, you can still gain weight," said Dr.
Walter Willett, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard
School of Public Health and a co-author of the study.
As Mozaffarian observed, "Physical activity in the United States is poor,
but diet is even worse."
The beauty of the new study is its ability to show, based on real-life
experience, how small changes in eating, exercise and other habits
can result in large changes in body weight over the years.
On average, study participants gained a pound a year, which added up
to 20 pounds in 20 years. Some gained much more, about four pounds
a year, while a few managed to stay the same or even lose weight.
Participants who were overweight at the study's start tended to gain
the most weight, which seriously raised their risk of obesity-related
diseases, Hu said. "People who are already overweight have to be
particularly careful about what they eat," he said.
The foods that contributed to the greatest weight gain were not
surprising. French fries led the list: Increased consumption of this
food alone was linked to an average weight gain of 3.4 pounds in each
four-year period. Other important contributors were potato chips (1.7
pounds), sugar-sweetened drinks (1 pound), red meats and processed
meats (0.95 and 0.93 pound, respectively), other forms of potatoes
(0.57 pound), sweets and desserts (0.41 pound), refined grains (0.39
pound), other fried foods (0.32 pound), 100-percent fruit juice (0.31
pound) and butter (0.3 pound).
Also not too surprising were most of the foods that resulted in weight
loss or no gain when consumed in greater amounts during the study:
fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Compared with those who gained
the most weight, participants in the Nurses' Health Study who lost
weight consumed 3.1 more servings of vegetables each day.
But contrary to what many people believe, an increased intake of dairy
products, whether low-fat (milk) or full-fat (milk and cheese), had a
neutral effect on weight.
And despite conventional advice to eat less fat, weight loss was
greatest among people who ate more yogurt and nuts, including
peanut butter, over each four-year period.
Nuts are high in vegetable fat, and previous small studies have shown
that eating peanut butter can help people lose weight and keep it off,
probably because it slows the return of hunger.
That yogurt, among all foods, was most strongly linked to weight loss
was the study's most surprising dietary finding, the researchers said.
Participants who ate more yogurt lost an average of 0.82 pound every
four years.
Yogurt contains healthful bacteria that in animal studies increase
production of intestinal hormones that enhance satiety and decrease
hunger, Hu said. The bacteria may also raise the body's metabolic rate,
making weight control easier.
But, consistent with the new study's findings, metabolism takes a hit
from refined carbohydrates — sugars and starches stripped of their
fiber, like white flour. When Dr. David Ludwig of Children's Hospital
Boston compared the effects of refined carbohydrates with the effects
of whole grains in both animals and people, he found that metabolism,
which determines how many calories are used at rest, slowed with the
consumption of refined grains but stayed the same after consumption
of whole grainsAs has been suggested by previous smaller studies,
how long people slept each night influenced their weight changes. In
general, people who slept less than six hours or more than eight hours
a night tended to gain the most. Among possible explanations are
effects of short nights on satiety hormones, as well as an opportunity
to eat more while awake, Hu said.
He was not surprised by the finding that the more television people
watched, the more weight they gained, most likely because they are
influenced by a barrage of food ads and snack in front of the TV.
Alcohol intake had an interesting relationship to weight changes. No
significant effect was found among those who increased their intake to
one glass of wine a day, but increases in other forms of alcohol were
likely to bring added pounds.
As expected, changes in smoking habits also influenced weight
changes. Compared with people who never smoked, those who had
quit smoking within the previous four years gained an average of 5.17
pounds. Subsequent weight gain was minimal — 0.14 pound for each
four-year period.
Those who continued smoking lost 0.7 pound in each four-year period,
which the researchers surmised may have resulted from undiagnosed
underlying disease, especially since those who took up smoking
experienced no change in weight.

Caffeine Supplements
Today’s urban warriors are much the same. Ginseng, caffeine and Eastern medicine are
still being utilized.
Now as it was then, you are no where without the basics namely sleep, smart eating and
exercise. First aim for at the minimum 6hours of sleep a night, for some a brief nap may
lead to greater alertness and productivity.
Pack in energy-promoting foods. The definition of energy is calories so make them
count. Veggies provide fiber, vitamins and nutrients. Nutrition bars are a great source as
well ...
Caffeine is America’s most popular drug some 85% of Americans drink coffee or some
type of caffeinated product. Americans usually are not the healthiest of the planets
people there are better choices to make. South Central America they use a product
called Yerba Mate and Guarana. West Africa the caffeine choice is kola nut and leaf.
Caffeine works by stimulating the nervous system to speed up the heart rate, raise blood
pressure and rev up the metabolism (helping the body lose weight.) It also heightens
alertness and concentration...
The facts about "Carb" depleting You cannot completely delete "carbs" from your life.
You need them to keep energy and focused. Their are many diets and products on the
market today that can confuse anyone. Even someone who actually knows!
MY SKINNY:
I measure myself everyday to see where I am at. I weigh myself everyday. I read all the
diet information I can get my hands on and I check my body fat .
I concentrate on my thinspiration and keep motivated. I stand on my head for ten minutes
a day and do 50 push ups and 60 sit ups everyday without fail!!
This is something not proven but does seem to work for all who try it. I wear magnetic
rings on different fingers for different results. This is something that works for me. I
wear to magnetic rings on both of my pinky fingers when I sleep and I do have a
magnetic mattress pad this is supposed to prevent all types of illness and eliminate
swelling, not to mention keep you looking younger.
I keep a food journal, this is a proven weight management tool everyone should try.
I exercise everyday.I have a part time job as a "floater" in a gym. A "floater" is someone
who just comes in to teach and leaves. It is great because I work out for free, and I have
to because it is my job. I learned that if you gain muscle you lose more weight because
your body continues to burn more fat. I sleep at least 6 hours a night and drink plenty of
water. To keep my skin healthy at bedtime I massage pure almond oil into the areas I
want firmer I also use some moisturizing products to really enhance the skin, and I take
one aloe vera capsule two times a day to avoid looking older or you can drink it for
quicker results... Aloe juice.
I take a Cayenne supplement to boost my metabolism.I take a multi-vitamin and I drink a
pro-biotic to avoid any yeast. Yeast can make you stop losing weight even in starvation
mode.
When you don't eat very much your metabolism can slow down and you stop losing
weight. Because heavy spices bother my stomach I take a supplement. It is preferable to
actually eat the spices. I use apple cider vinager on my salads and in a tincture to help
better my digestion and quicken my weight loss.
I suggest that everyone who wants to lose weight and look great, do some of the same.
Try some of the diets on my site and recipes. Follow the tips. Stay focused!!

As expected, changes in smoking habits also influenced weight
changes. Compared with people who never smoked, those who had
quit smoking within the previous four years gained an average of 5.17
pounds. Subsequent weight gain was minimal — 0.14 pound for each
four-year period.
Those who continued smoking lost 0.7 pound in each four-year period,
which the researchers surmised may have resulted from undiagnosed
underlying disease, especially since those who took up smoking
experienced no change in weight.

Caffeine Supplements
Today’s urban warriors are much the same. Ginseng, caffeine and Eastern medicine are
still being utilized.
Now as it was then, you are no where without the basics namely sleep, smart eating and
exercise. First aim for at the minimum 6hours of sleep a night, for some a brief nap may
lead to greater alertness and productivity.
Pack in energy-promoting foods. The definition of energy is calories so make them
count. Veggies provide fiber, vitamins and nutrients. Nutrition bars are a great source as
well ...
Caffeine is America’s most popular drug some 85% of Americans drink coffee or some
type of caffeinated product. Americans usually are not the healthiest of the planets
people there are better choices to make. South Central America they use a product
called Yerba Mate and Guarana. West Africa the caffeine choice is kola nut and leaf.
Caffeine works by stimulating the nervous system to speed up the heart rate, raise blood
pressure and rev up the metabolism (helping the body lose weight.) It also heightens
alertness and concentration...
The facts about "Carb" depleting You cannot completely delete "carbs" from your life.
You need them to keep energy and focused. Their are many diets and products on the
market today that can confuse anyone. Even someone who actually knows!
MY SKINNY:
I measure myself everyday to see where I am at. I weigh myself everyday. I read all the
diet information I can get my hands on and I check my body fat .
I concentrate on my thinspiration and keep motivated. I stand on my head for ten minutes
a day and do 50 push ups and 60 sit ups everyday without fail!!
This is something not proven but does seem to work for all who try it. I wear magnetic
rings on different fingers for different results. This is something that works for me. I
wear to magnetic rings on both of my pinky fingers when I sleep and I do have a
magnetic mattress pad this is supposed to prevent all types of illness and eliminate
swelling, not to mention keep you looking younger.
I keep a food journal, this is a proven weight management tool everyone should try.
I exercise everyday.I have a part time job as a "floater" in a gym. A "floater" is someone
who just comes in to teach and leaves. It is great because I work out for free, and I have
to because it is my job. I learned that if you gain muscle you lose more weight because
your body continues to burn more fat. I sleep at least 6 hours a night and drink plenty of
water. To keep my skin healthy at bedtime I massage pure almond oil into the areas I
want firmer I also use some moisturizing products to really enhance the skin, and I take
one aloe vera capsule two times a day to avoid looking older or you can drink it for
quicker results... Aloe juice.
I take a Cayenne supplement to boost my metabolism.I take a multi-vitamin and I drink a
pro-biotic to avoid any yeast. Yeast can make you stop losing weight even in starvation
mode.
When you don't eat very much your metabolism can slow down and you stop losing
weight. Because heavy spices bother my stomach I take a supplement. It is preferable to
actually eat the spices. I use apple cider vinager on my salads and in a tincture to help
better my digestion and quicken my weight loss.
I suggest that everyone who wants to lose weight and look great, do some of the same.

HYDROX PRODUCTS AND WHY THEY WORK:
These super diet pills make weight come off fast. They create a thermogenasis effect in
the body causing it to burn fat faster by using the bodies heat. This also causes the body
to remove excess water from the body. Most of these products I have tried and lost
weight but not as much as I had heard I could... so I investigated the situation and found
the right mixture of all of the extracts and have started my own product line.

BODY CLEANSES
Body cleansers work because they clean the body of the toxins it is holding. If the body is
holding to many toxins it does not lose weight rapidly or work efficiently. I am sure you
have heard about all the new teas and cleansers. They do work. You need to find one that
works for your needs.
