October 18, 2007 at 11:00 pm How to Keep Your Diet When You Don’t Eat InIt isn’t a surprise to find out that your “oh so favorite” plate of food is, “oh so fattening”. Let’s face it, when chefs are putting together their menu, they’re thinking taste not calories. And why is it that the more calories a meal has, the more delicious it seems to be (i.e. Cheesecake, anyone)? No one is thinking of the weight conscious when they’re putting that on the menu. The truth is, eating out isn’t at all simple when you’re on a weight loss diet. There are some weight conscious and healthy menus out there, however, even if they really aren’t the norm. So it is still possible to regularly go out for a bite without having to completely break your diet and the amount of calories you’re allowed. |

October 18, 2007 at 10:50 pm To eat or not to eat? It depends on what you gonna do about it!The United States Department of Agriculture (more commonly known as the USDA) has determined that there is no “one size fits all†plan when it comes to recommending the appropriate caloric intake requirements for individuals. Calories affect each of us differently. Many factors, including sex, age, physical activity levels, genetics, etc., influence the amount of calories we personally need. |

This may not seem like a lot but this type of weight loss actually helps keep the weight off on a more permanent basis. These types of programs help the body maintain a proper metabolism and retain necessary muscle mass. |
