Contrary to what most people may tell you, losing weight is actually pretty easy.  Losing weight is actually what I would call a “number’s game”.  What does this mean exactly? 

Well let’s go back in time to our high school health science and math class.  As I’m sure you learned way back when (and maybe forgotten), that a pound is made up of 3500 calories.  This is a KEY number to remember and will get you a long way in your goal of losing weight.

Now that we know that one pound is equal to 3500 calories…how do we apply that to losing weight?  Simple.  Just eliminate 3500 calories from your diet over the course of a week.  Seem hard? It shouldn’t!

All you need to do is eliminate 500 calories a day from what your currently eating (500 calories x 7days/wk= 3500 cal)

For example, say you like to have a healthy nutritious soda twice a day with your lunch and dinner.  Well a typical soda can run anywhere between 200-300 calories. So two sodas a day is EQUAL to 500 calories! Cut out those soda’s (having water instead) and you’ll lose One pound this week!

You just lost a pound and you didn’t even pick up a weight or come to one of my bootcamps!

If you want to lose more weight, well then apply the same principle but in larger numbers of course. Replace your processed food for healthy alternatives and watch your calorie intake (and your waistline) shrink.

When you combine a solid exercise program with healthy eating habits you will seem more results than you could imagine.  All it takes is some proper discipline and a little effort!

Also, always remember that being consistent in what you do is important to achieving your goals.  Even losing just a few pounds a week or a month will go a long way towards your long term goals of getting into great shape!

Stay Fit,
