The Wellness of YOU! - # 98 - Calorie Counting
posted in Nutrition and Weight Loss |Moving along with our discussion of counting calories and what effect that has on our nutrition and weight loss program.
Last time we talked about choosing healthy foods — foods that are packed with nutrients and fiber — and very little sugar (preferably none!). A good way to accomplish this is to be on a good nutrition and weight loss program like the South Beach Diet®.
There is no doubt that doing this is important, but, remember, it’s only part of the story. Sure, you’re taking in fewer calories by making good food choices, but you also have to burn some calories if you want to lose weight.
Now, I don’t mean going out and doing too much exercise. We talked about that in another article, right? (Please see http://wecould2.com/2006/06/28/the-wellness-of-you-89-weight-loss/ “The Wellness of YOU! - # 89″ for more about exercising too much.)
The focus of that article didn’t mean that you should never exercise. Exercise is essential to keep your body healthy, especially your bones and heart.
But if you exercise too much — and don’t eat the right kind of foods — or you don’t eat enough of those foods, your body will think it’s starving and you’ll end up eating way more than you should.
A good rule of thumb for how much to exercise is to shoot for at least 30 minutes about 4 times a week. That should prove to be a healthy medium.

I would love to hear from you. One of the advantages of using a blog to communicate is the fact that it’s not a one-way medium. At the end of each article there is a link where you can comment about what you’ve read. It’s a great way to exchange thoughts and ideas. |
Here is some information about the nutritional supplements I add to my nutrition and weight loss program. These have helped me more than I would have ever imagined. I’m not kidding. Click on the links in the box below — you won’t be sorry!
