Weight Loss – What really works?

Filed in: Uncategorized by Fitness Queen on 04-02-09

There are so many diet plans and pills out there, how do you know which ones to take or use for weight loss?  I personally believe in just following a balanced diet of low fat foods and watching the amount of calories I eat in total.

To do that quickly and easily, I use Diet Power software because it makes the otherwise mundane task of keeping track of calories eaten quick and easy.  You pay for it once, can use it forever, and the cost is reasonable.  All I do is load the software, record my foods for the day (including liquids, some do have calories) and record my workout for the day.  Foods that aren’t already loaded can be added, including the calorie content from the food label. You load a new food or exercise once and they are stored so you can use them again. 

When you start Diet Power initially, you record your current and target weights, then the software calculates how many calories you need daily to lose or maintain your weight to reach your weight loss goal.  It makes the whole process of recording calories and tracking progress very easy, and you don’t need to buy any special foods or follow a special diet.  On the days when I want to eat chocolate or something high calorie or high fat (every now and then), I just do a longer workout to burn it off or go for an afternoon walk.

Many sites that sell fitness products, like Beach Body, also have support forums. They offer many good fitness products and the support forums allow you to talk with other people on the same weight loss journey. The forum also has a section with good low fat recipes – remember, fit does not have to be boring or bland. I have done many of the exercise routines myself and enjoy them, but have not bought any of the protein shakes or supplements.  I do drink protein shakes at times when my schedule is tight because it is a quick easy way to get good lean protein and healty, balanced nutrition to support healthy weight loss.  I have tried several shakes and drink the Met-Rx because they taste good.

Everyone is different, find what works for you on your weight loss journey.  The goal is to live a healthy, fit lifestyle.
