TIP #29- 3,500 calories EQUALS a pound

Stay away from so called Diet books or programs that claim to be magic! It is a process for all of us to lose weight!

REMEMBER:

3,500 calories EQUALS a pound (or 35,000 EXTRA calories to GAIN 10 pounds a year). Let's make that into smaller bites, and 100 calories more or less a day can translate to about 10 pounds a year. This means losing 10 pounds can be as easy as eating 100 calories less each day for a year!

Just one small change can be all it takes. Make a change and it will decrease your daily calorie intake by about 100.

Be prepared for slow weight loss. The safest weight loss is at a gradual pace (1/2 to 2 pounds per week) This is also the sensible way to achieve meaningful results.

TIP #15

Want to make some healthy changes in the way you eat? Start by adding egg whites to your diet. Egg whites are high quality complete protein and are easily digested and absorbed. Yolks have a considerable amount of fat. It's ok to eat one yolk occasionally, but try to have 3 to 4 egg whites every morning! Hardboiled eggs are an easy quick breakfast, since they can be made ahead of time. They are also convenient to pack into your lunch. Why not get creative and add vegetables and herbs to your scrambled egg whites. This is a perfect fit for combining protein and complex carbohydrates!
