SHAUN T HIP HOP ABS CALORIES BURNED SKIN

Now, clearly I haven’t lost the weight yet so my “tips” are really just what I am trying to practice myself.

Snacks between meals are low carb and low calorie: herbal tea, coffee, carrot sticks, handful of nuts.

If I worked out that day, I do allow myself about a half portion more.

Protein is about the size of a deck of cards.

Veggies fill half the plate whether it is a salad or a side dish like green beans, carrots, etc.

I try to follow these general rules of thumb I try not to eat three sweet potatoes in one sitting and I don’t eat an entire rotisserie chicken… even though I totally can. So instead of counting calories, I watch portion sizes. However, I also recognize that while calories might not count, they do MATTER.

What I lost in weight, I gained in acne, dry skin and hair, and fatigue. I was eating things I KNOW are not healthy, but calling a calorie a calorie allows your brain to justify it. I lost about 5 lbs doing Weight Watchers a couple years back but it really messed up my thinking. I completely recognize that this works for some people, but it just isn’t my thing. So this is why I choose to focus on eating less carbs than I do on writing down and calculating every calorie that goes in and goes out. If you want more information on this, I found this post really helpful in thinking about how calories work. The way calories are burned and how different peoples’ bodies work just differ too much to simplify it down to “calories in and calories out”. This research is actually why Weight Watchers went through a “calorie counting” overhaul a few years back.

I am no scientist but the presented facts are pretty hard to ignore. I talked about it a tiny bit in my post about previous diets:īut basically, I have now read too many scientifically based articles about why counting calories can be pretty ineffective and too difficult to do on a low carb eating plan. This might be a good time to talk about why I am not counting calories on my personalized eating plan. I made up for this by taking a walk before eating and a 10 minute ab video on YouTube. So Saturday ended up being pretty easy but because I ate out rather than cook at home, I think I had a few more calories than I typically would. Usually by now I would have lost a lb or two, but my set point is being stubborn. I will start doing 80/20 (eating clean 80% of the time) soon, but due to this being my sixth attempt to lose weight in a short time, I can already feel my body resisting me and holding on to every little thing. The fact though that I didn’t want to take a sneaky bite is a sign though that the cravings are dissolving and that I can do this. BUT that same girl totally ate a slice of cherry cheesecake in front of me about two minutes later. Thanks to my little sister for offering me tea last night when I could feel my resolve waning. Made it through the weekend! A piece of dark chocolate or two may have passed through my lips, but I quickly realized I was just looking to put something in my mouth so I had a cup of herbal tea right away.
