Chew Your Food!

Turn's out Mom was right (as usual)...Studies show that the more times you chew your food the more satiated you will feel...thus, you will feel fuller on less food. So take the time to sit down and chew your food rather than rushing right through your meal...the few minutes you spend actually enjoying your meal just might lead to you enjoying a smaller waistline.

3,500 calories

It takes a loss of 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound. That means a calorie deficit of 500 calories each day for 7 days will result in a 1 pound weight loss for the week. Think about that the next time you go for that extra slice of bread or glass of soda. If you want to lose weight, find a way to trim extra calories out of your day and add exercise in to help burn some calories as well. Taking 1 slice of bread off of your sandwich and walking briskly for 30 minutes can help you rid of about 200-250 calories....Little things like that add up to big results! Live Well!!!

No Worries

Wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weights you down.

Obstacles

Each and everyday there will be something that challenges you. An obstacle in your path. Don't allow that challenge or obstacle to get in your way, find a way around it or take a different path. Do what you set out to do...just be flexible about how you will get it done. Live Well!!!

Liquid Calories

People tend to forget that many beverages are loaded with calories and sugar. It is easy to think of a drink as just something you have alongside your meal, especially since we do not tend to register liquid calories as satiating in our brains. The problem here is your beverage of choice may be adding hundreds of calories to your day and lots of inches to your waist while not even filling you up. To avoid this, choose to drink water and other calorie-free/unsweetened drinks throughout the day. You can reduce your caloric intake by 100s of calories by just getting rid of juices and sodas!
Live Well!!!
