Cut Carb Calories
December 17, 2008 by mrogers · Leave a Comment
A study done by a doctor at Temple University showed that cutting carb calories helped study participants lose weight, while not feeling hungry or deprived. Study participants cut carb calories drastically, but ate as much meat, vegetables and butter as they wanted.
Results showed that participants ate about 1000 calories less per day than when they ate all the carb calories they wanted, but still felt satisfied. The doctor reported that by cutting carb calories, people’s appetites diminished and they were able to lose weight.
It is unknown the long-term effects of a diet low in carb calories, but it has been shown effective as a weight loss tool for obese individuals. Any new diet should be discussed with your personal physician before starting.

Post a Calorie Burn Chart
December 9, 2008 by mrogers · Leave a Comment
A calorie burn chart is a useful tool to use when losing weight. You can make it a motivational tool as well by posting it on your refrigerator.
Choose your favorite foods (and those that make you cheat on your diet) and write them down on a piece of paper. If you can find a picture of the food, go ahead and include that as well. Then, write down how many calories in a single serving. Finally, figure out how much exercise it will take to burn off those calories.
The next time you reach into the refrigerator to finish a piece of cheesecake, you will be reminded of how much farther you’ll need to run, or how many more laps you’ll need to swim in order to burn off that piece of cheesecake!
