Food diaries
It is helpful to know how much you normally eat. Estimating from memory is not very accurate. It is best to keep a diary, and write down every amount of food and drink that you have over a week or so. Include even the smallest of snacks. Add up the number of calories that you eat and drink each day. You may need advice from a practice nurse or dietician to calculate calories. However, there are plenty of books that give calorie counts for different foods.
It may be helpful to keep up the diary for several weeks to see the difference in calories that you eat before and after a change to a healthier diet. To lose weight, you must eat less calories each day than previously.
Top tip – do not forget the drinks. Some drinks contain lots of calories, such as alcoholic drinks and sugary drinks.
Keeping to a reduced weight
Many people who lose weight soon put it back on again when they stop their weight reducing diet. The main reason this happens is because the weight reducing diet was only a temporary cut back of an unhealthy diet. Once you have lost some weight, to keep the weight off you need to stick to a healthy diet. An active lifestyle with more physical activity would also help. Even better is for the whole family or household to have changed to healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle.
To keep your weight down you will still need to eat less and/or do more physical actvity than previously. For example, if you have lost 10kg, to keep this off and maintain your weight you will still need to:
* eat about 300 calories per day less than you did prior to the weight loss diet, or
* do more physical activity to ‘burn up’ an extra 300 calories per day, or
* a combination of the two.
Top tip – after losing some weight, weigh yourself once a week to keep a check on your weight.
I agree, it a challenge to carry out most of the exercise in small apartments. one of friends who suggested me Phentramin-D a diet control pill to reduce weight had the similar challenge. He was using the pill to lose weight. I’m using Phentramin-D and lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks. Check for yourself, no side effects…http://www.phenforum.com/buy-phentermine
