DIET TIP
Diet Sodas
Did you know that a regular Mountain Dew is better for you to drink that a Diet Mountain Dew when you are trying to lose weight? It is true! When you drink a Diet Dew it actually messes up your body's natural calorie calculator. You get cravings for all kinds of foods, because you body thinks you need more calories and sugar.
Don't believe me? Check out this article:
Diet Sodas make you hungry! Let me tell you what happened to me
What it Takes to Lose Just "1" Pound!
Did you know that to lose 1 pound a week you would need to cut or burn 3500 calories a week? Sounds unreal doesn't it? Well it isn't. Let's do some math! We will calculate as if you are eating 2000 calories a day. If you do not exercise you would need to decrease your calorie intake by 500 calories a day to lose 1 pound a week. Now we all know about the dreadful plateau that you soon reach when dieting. One way to stay away from that is by changing it up. For example, to reach a goal to lose 1 pound a week you need to cut back 3500 calories. So, Monday cut back 250 calories, Tuesday cut back 550 calories, Wednesday cut back 600 calories, Thursday cut back 520 calories, Friday cut back 500 calories, Saturday cut back 540 calories, and Sunday cut back 520 calories. You see that every day you are cutting back a different amount of calories. The reason to do this is so that your body doesn't get used to eating the same amount. If you body gets used to it then it will adapt, hence the plateau.
I know that this sounds unbelievably hard, but really it isn't. I guarantee that about 63% of people that are dieting or not dieting most likely do not watch the calories that they eat. Did you know that one slice of American cheese has 60 calories? Now lets calculate how many calories are in one sandwich. Remember these numbers really depend of what brand you get and if you get lite or not.
Cheese (1 slice) 60 calories
Mayo Regular (1 tbls) 100 calories
Turkey (1 slice) 29 calories
Whole Wheat Bread (2 slices) 256 calories
Total for 1 sandwich 445 calories
If you were trying to eat just 1500 calories that day you would only have 1055 calories left that you could have for that day. Everyone knows that most people don't just eat a sandwich. People usually have a soda, tea, or some other beverage other than water and probably some chips. Really if you were to calculate the chips and the beverage it would probably add another 200 calories on to the 445 from the sandwich. You really have to watch what you eat to make any diet plan work. To be perfectly honest with you I did this and failed, because you can watch what you eat all day long and still over eat. I have another example for you. Let's say you stop balancing your checkbook and just start guestimating the balance left in your checking account. How long do you think it would take before you were overdrawn? Probably not long. The same thing goes with eating. If you don't see the number on paper you really won't see it in your head either. Take one day and just count your calories and that is all. I guarantee you, that you will really be picky about what you eat. Please keep in mind that a lot of what I have learned I got from the diet Strip That Fat! I joined it because I couldn't stand to look at myself in the mirror anymore.

Learn How To Read The Labels On Foods
Reading labels can be a little difficult, and deceiving at times too. When trying to read the nutrition facts you "HAVE" to start at the serving size first. Serving size is how you will calculate the exact amount of calories in the food. For instance, look at the nutrition label picture, and look at the serving size. The serving size is 1 cup which means you need to measure out only 1 cup of this food to just eat the 250 calories that it says it has. Now if you look at servings per container there is 2. Servings per container means that there is 2 cups in this container, so if you eat the entire container you will have eaten 500 calories. That is ALOT! So keep in mind to ALWAYS look at the serving size and the serving per container numbers.
Recommended Amounts of Carbs, Fiber, Fat, Sodium, and Cholesterol
Another item to pay attention to is Fiber. There is dietary fiber and soluble fiber. I won't get in detail about what each of these are and how much you need. I put a wikipedia that explains that information for you if you are interested below.
Ok, enough about Fiber. Just to let you know it is recommended that you eat 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day. For children it should be their age plus 5. Example 5 years old + 5 = 10 grams of fiber a day. This came from the American Dietetic Association (ADA).
Now we need to talk about Sodium. Did you know that if you eat too much sodium it can cause you to retain water? Well it can. That means that you could weigh 4 pound extra or more from just retaining water. The USDA Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Sodium Intake equals no more than 2,400 milligrams of sodium per day. You think that is a lot? Go back to the sandwich in the very first paragraph of this article.
Cheese (1 slice) 1mg sodium
Mayo Regular (1 tbls) 75mg sodium
Turkey (1 slice) 630mg sodium
Whole Wheat Bread (2 slices) 296mg
Total for 1 sandwich 1002mg of Sodium
Now look at that you have almost eaten half of the recommended amount per day. Don't fret, they now have low sodium foods in supermarkets. Also if you know that you are eating a lot of sodium increase the amount of water that you drink. It will flush some of the sodium out of your system.
Now for Fat and Cholesterol! Again there is a Wikipedia that has more information about Fat and Cholesterol listed below.Everyone knows that out of everything that is on a nutrition label these are the most important to watch. Fat and Cholesterol equal heart problems. All you need to know is the recommended amount per day for cholesterol is less than 200 mg and fat is around 65 grams. Stay away from trans fat and unsaturated fat. Some trans and saturated is ok, but try to limit as much as possible.
Ok, now for Carbohydrates! Carbohydrates are broken down for energy, but are not necessary. Your body can take energy from fats and proteins, so low carb diets are ok. Recommended amount of carbs that you should eat a day is 20 - 60 grams when trying to lose weight.
Proteins! Proteins and muscle development really go hand in hand. Protein is what really helps you build your muscles fast. Protein also helps in the healing process after a vigorous workout. I can't really say how much protein is recommended per day for someone, because it varies per person. I actually went from what Stip That Fat suggested when I joined. You can probably search online for formulas on how to figure out what your suggested intake should be. I hope that everything that I have gave you has helped you figure out a way to lose weight in a healthy way. I know it seems like a lot, but you can do it. Keep in mind in the end you will feel great about yourself.
Now It is Time To Start Stripping that Fat!
