Losing fat and staying in great shape is a difficult task since
it is so hard to stay motivated and so tempting to cheat. For
dieters like us, there is a constant battle between emotion and
reason and when hungry, reason is out of the window and emotion
just wins. We do not see the immediate effects of our behavior
and therefore our brain is fooled into thinking that everything
is all right. On the other hand, let's say you would get very
sick when eating more than you need, overeating would stop very
quickly.
We need to show this in a factual manner like an immediate
visual display of the results of our cheating. This will help
us to start to understand why we don't lose weight and can
pinpoint the causes.
First is a chart. In this chart, I would like to see over a
period of time the average calories I take per day compared
with the average calories that I burn per day. This can
determine the intake calories lower than the burned calories
and I will lose weight or vice versa I will gain weight.
Correlate that with your weight or BMI (Body Mass Index) over
time and having the tool that helps regulate my food
consumption versus my daily activities.
I can fine tune my meal plans and daily activities if I add my
hunger levels before and after the meals. This can sustain my
dieting for a long time and it will become my way of life. I
have minimized the hunger pain and increase the pleasure of
losing weight and feeling more attractive.
Free online food calorie calculators are available anywhere.
It just display nutrition facts and are not going to help you
lose weight. These are simple little gimmicks that are a waste
of your time.
If you seriously track and correlate your calorie intake and
calories burned over time, depending on your age, weight,
gender, height and individual activity intensity levels can
precisely measure your calorie balance. You can also see
immediately when you are off track and you can adjust your
situation accordingly.
Great health is a complex task. Diet, nutritional facts, meal
plans, calorie balance, body reading measurements, supplement
and medicine intake, exercise routines, daily activity
intensity and costs will make it very difficult for you to see
the forest for the trees.
Managing your health, fitness, weight loss, muscle mass gain or
any goal you have set can be very easy if there is well designed
software that keeps track of all of the above factors and can
correlate them.
