When that favorite dress no longer fits, or a belly peeks over the edge of those new designer bathing trunks, it is time to put on the food brakes and go on a diet. Everyone knows that this is easier said than done, and that without special tools and resources, this mission will not be easy.
Dieters have many aids and measuring tools available to them. They can use, for example, weight to height ratio, weight charts, waist to hip ratio, or Body Mass Index (BMI) calculators to help them figure out the shape they are in, and how much weight they should be losing to make their clothes fit better again. Once their weight loss goal has been determined, they can then put together a diet plan that will work for them.
The best way to lose weight is to keep track of the amount of calories you consume during the day. Knowing what you eat is indeed quite important as it can help you control the calories you put in your body. Researching your foods will also highlight the hidden calories, those you are often unaware of and make you gain weight.
With today's technology at your fingertips, take advantage of all the information you can find online, including the many free calorie counters that are offered by health and fitness sites.
Search
Search the food libraries that are presented to you and find out how many calories your favourite foods contain. These databases generally offer more than the simple calorie values of your produce, fruits, meats, grains, dairy, drinks, and other products. They also offer various options on how to burn more calories, so you can lose weight faster, all while staying fit and healthy. For instance, to exercise off one cup of sparkling apple juice, containing 39 calories (165 Kilojoules) you can run for 3 minutes, walk for 10, or swim for 4.
Track
Through your research, you can track all of the calories you take in. Read product labels, and ask the calorie count of the meals you order at restaurants. Write them down in a food or calorie diary, and add them all up at the end of the day. You'd be surprised to find out where all the calories are coming from, especially if you are honest and mark down everything you eat or drink, including condiments, gravy and sauces, sugar in your tea or coffee, a bite from your partner's candy bar, or the butter you used to fry your omelet. Be as thorough as you can and you will book excellent weight loss results.
Tracking down your calories can also give you valuable information about the quality of your meals, as well as the carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins they contain.
Achieve
Online calorie counter systems are easy to use, and can help you achieve your weight loss goals. By knowing exact calorie values, you can adjust your weight loss strategy, allowing yourself to reach your objectives even quicker.
Counting calories is also a great way to evaluate your lifestyle. Eating healthier not only keeps your weight balanced, but also reduces the risk for certain diseases. It is an added benefit many people only realize once they started using calorie counters. Give it a try, and see for yourself!
