What's this all about? Everybody knows that weight loss and gain are two completely different things! So what am I on about? Well, it's just that there are some things that will be consistent with either goal, and among the things you will see is one major principle which, when applied, has the power to literally remake you! So what is this principle? "The Principle of Recording Caloric Intake" You see, one thing that most people don't have a clue about is how much they are actually eating! Someone who is trying to lose weight may complain about how little they eat, while another who is fed up with being skinny moans about how they just can't eat any more! Let's forget about the hype from the supplement and drug companies, and those fad diets, and think straight for a second! I mean, it makes sense to think that if you want to lose weight and aren't losing doing so, then you must be taking in more than you think you are! And in the same way, for someone who wants to gain weight and yet can't - you must be eating a lot less than you think you are! So what am I to do? Simple really - start cataloguing everything that goes into your mouth.
But that's a lot of bother!!! Yeah, well...
nobody ever said this 'weight loss / gain thing' was easy.
Think about it...
if it really was that easy then everybody would be walking around all buff and lean and toned and fit and healthy right! But just a cursory glance at the general public when you're in the city tells you exactly where everybody is at.
So, arm yourselves folks, because you are about to embark on a journey that will transform you, should you step off the wharf and into the boat! There are two basic truths that I want you take and start applying to your life right now...
* Note down in a notebook EVERY SINGLE THING that goes into your mouth * Learn the caloric values of the various food items you ingest Remember the Simple Weight Loss article? Now is the time to put that into practice, right from your very next meal.
One of the first things I advise clients to do is to actually do this for a period of at least 2 weeks, and see what your personal intake is like.
Note down everything you eat and see how your weight fluctuates during this period.
From there you can actually map out a goal for yourself, and get moving on that.
And the rest, they say...
is ...
just elementary!!! Cheers!
