Track What You Eat and What You Do to Lose Weight

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

It’s often said that we fail at our goals because we don’t track what we do. If we don’t know where we are, how do we know where we’re going? If you want to lose weight, you have to keep a close eye on what you’re eating. If you “guess” that you’re eating 2,000 calories a day, or you only eat when you feel hungry, you could be over-eating or under-eating. If you keep your healthy calorie intake (healthy calories coming from lean meats, fruits, and vegetables) to a certain range, it starts to get really easy to lose weight.

70% of losing weight is about diet. Don’t think that you can spend 2 hours in the gym, working your ass off, and then rewarding yourself with two value meals from Burger King. You’ll never lose weight this way.

That said, you should definitely try out FitDay.com for tracking your progress. At the very least, use it as a tool to track the amount of calories you eat. That way, you can be completely honest with yourself. After a few days you’ll begin to see why what you’re eating is working, or not working.

Also, apologies for not updating this website too often. I am working on a book that I will give out for free to everyone who wants to lose weight. Basically it condenses down all the basics you need to know about losing weight into a handy, short book. Should be in the next week or so.
