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 #20

There is no magic to weight loss. One of the best things you can do is start immediately with some small changes. Take a 15 minute walk 2 times/day. After one month there goes 1 pound!
