TOPIC SPECIAL : Know your NUMBERS!!

Ever wonder why you can't lose weight? Or lose it consistently? Well, have I got a video for you! I'll be sharing how I personally count and keep track of all my numbers to get healthy, consistent long lasting results! This is a bit of a meaty post, so don't feel bad if you have to stop it, come back to it and take some notes... its good for ya, I promise!!

Now Youtube is being retarded and not letting me upload the video on the blog..sorry!

Check out the video here:       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-HybVcDoP0

The Numbers: 

1. Current weight

2. BMR (basal metabolic rate) & BMI (Body Mass Index)

3. Total calories to eat/day (current weight x 7)

4. Total calories burned/day

5. H2O to consume (your current weight divided by 3)

6. 3,500 = 1 POUND

Examples:

There are 3 types of results depending on what numbers are in the equation. These aren't real numbers, I'm just trying to keep it simple. Basically, if you eat more than you burn, you gain (1). If you eat the same amount as you burn you stay the same or maintain (2) and if you eat less than you burn, you lose (3).

Here are the examples:

a. 3,000 (calories in) - 1,500 (Calories out) = 1,500 calories gained

b. 3,000 (calories in) - 3,000 (calories out) = 0 calories gained

c. 1,500 (calories in) - 3,000 (calories out) = 1,500 calories lost

If you aren't concerned about how many lbs you want to lose in a week, just know that you have to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight.
