To really lose those 10 pounds (or more if you need to) you have
to drink the water, eat the small meals, and TRACK YOUR CALORIES!
Tracking your calories can be difficult,
but only at first. There are many ways to do this. The paper and pencil method,
writing down everything you eat to the last teaspoon, or my favorite method
using an online tracking ap. There are so many out there right now such as My
Fitness Pal, or Lose it. These programs help to calculate how many grams of
protein, fats, carbs you’re eating as well as help to track your sugar intake
and your fiber intake.
Fiber and Sugar are the two hidden dangers
that a lot of people forget to pay attention to and they can be diet sabotagers.
If you don't eat enough fiber, you won’t go to the bathroom regularly, soooooo
important. Also, fiber helps us to stay fuller, longer, so we don't over eat.
Sugar is also one of those danger foods
that quickly add up and add chub to our waistline. You should really only have
about 25 grams of sugar a day, so using an online tracking system can help you
with this.
Back to tracking calories......I would say
try it for a week and see how you do. You might be overeating like crazy and
not realizing it, or, you might not be eating enough. Once you start really
tracking your calories, you start to understand things like: portion control, how
much you really need to eat, how many calories are in foods and then you might
not have to record things as much.
Try it for two weeks and I guarantee you
lose some weight!
