Calorie Counting

(Anonymous) 2014-08-19 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, calorie countring - but not in an obsessive, 'how many calories are in this slice of grape fruit' kind of way, just in a way that makes you aware of what you're eating and how many calories it has. So you could start off working out how many calories you should eat a day to maintain your current weight, and compare it to what you usually eat it a day. If you're eating more than that, don't cut out things entirely, just swap bits of your diet for lower calorie (and healthier) options until you're within your calorie limit. E.g., crackers and cheese/nuts instead of chocolate or chips for a snack, a whole meal wrap instead of bread in a sandwich, swap creamy dressings for lighter dressings, fruit and yoghurt instead of icecream for dessert.

See how you feel after a week or so of this. If it's working for you, start lowering your calorie intake more by swapping more stuff for healthier options, or lowering your portion sizes. Don't do it randomly though - work out what a healthy calorie intake would be for you to lose weight, and don't go under 1,200 calories a day because it screws up your metabolism. If you can increase your incidental exercise while you do this - e.g. walking/biking to work, taking the stairs, getting off a few stops eaely or parking a bit away from where you need to be and walking - at the same time as you lower your calorie intake, I bet you you will see results.
