There are many fad diets that promise to help you lose weight but ultimately unless you alter your lifestyle and continue to use the diet plan forever your weight loss will be temporary and yes, as you’ve probably heard before you gain back more than you lost. So I adopted a plan I call burn your largest calorie meal – It’s a simple idea that can have great results. If your largest meal during the day is 600 calories your target would be to burn 600 or more calories while exercising – My exercise of choice is the elliptical so I’m not putting so much stress on my knees. This serves 2 purposes I exercise on a regular basis and when I eat during the day I pay more attention to how many calories I’m eating so I’ll eat smarter .

Do you “Eat Fat”?
Do you eat fat? What I mean by eating fat is – Do you have to let’s say put mayo on your sandwich or can you eat it dry or with maybe mustard? Something I’ve noticed folks tend to do as an excuse to why they can’t lose weight. “I can’t stand a sandwich without mayo so if I can’t have it I’ll eat (substitute) something else instead”- the substitute often is not satisfying so the overeating continues. I’ll get into my thoughts on substituting foods for what you are actually craving at a later date. When folks eat fat they tend to put emphases on sauces, cheese, oils, breads, butter, sugar etc.
