The Easy Diet Plan for Weight Loss

Energy Needs vs Calorie Intake for Weight Loss

The Free Easy Diet Plan - Part 1

Unless one has been living in a Diet Hole, it's a well-known fact that weight loss is the result of energy needs surpassing calorie intake. There are a couple of ways to accomplish weight loss.

1. Eat less calories than the body requires to maintain current weight.

2. Expending energy - physical energy vs food energy. When the body uses more energy than it takes in (form of food),  weight loss ensues.

3. Great news! Significant weight loss results can be achieved quicker by eating less calories in the daily diet and combining exercise and activity.

4. Always get your doctor's permission before beginning any weight loss plan. Why so? Many times a hidden condition such as a thyroid imbalance or diabetes may be the culprit where weight gain is concerned. Also, females should rule out pregnancy before beginning any weight loss plan, as well as lactating moms.

5. Measuring food (energy) in the daily diet is a sure-fire method of defeating weight gain and achieving permanent weight loss. Ah - so that's the trade off! We can enjoy the foods that we love, but we must do so in moderation. Hum, this sounds so familiar, doesn't it? Something we've had hammered into our little Diet Brains since the beginning of commercialized foods. With this said, if you aren't a fan of measuring, The Easy Diet Plan may not be your Diet Bag. img3.gif

On the other hand, if you're willing to measure your food, weight loss is yours for the Diet Taking! In fact, you know all those over-priced boxed foods that you can order and have delivered right to your door? You know why they work? It's not because they contain a magic potion; it's because the number of calories is pre-calculated for the dieter. Trouble is, those type diets don't last long. Why so?

- The human body is an interesting piece of work, equipped with a vast appetite. The same foods day in and day out become boring. We easily grow tired of the same tastes and our taste buds desire exploration of the universe of foods surrounding us.

- We enjoy picking out our own foods, not having it done for us. It's like going to a party. Who wants anyone else to pick out the dress or suit that we'll be wearing?

- We can assimilate our own menu with a bit of savvy planning. And if fat is a concern, there are light selections at the local market that are quite tasty these days. Why burn cash when we can pick out the foods we enjoy best? Besides, most of those prepared meal plans require the dieter to furnish 1 meal per day.

If you don't like to measure, think about this....

How many times have you heard about how cutting out a soda per day can trim 10 pounds or more off the body in a year? Why so? It's certainly not the soda - rather the calories contained in the soda. While we don't agree with the Soda Weight Loss Method (because the body will naturally migrate towards other calorie sources to fill the gap) we do know that measuring the food (energy) that we put into our bodies does work in achieving both weight loss and weight maintenance.

Finally, outside of calories and fat content, the foods we choose are very important because of the following:

- foods containing fiber will help satisfy the appetite for longer periods at a time

- choosing lower calorie foods can allow us to eat more foods for less calories

- our foods need to satisfy not only our appetites, but also our nutritional needs and requirements
