Weight Loss Basics

Your body weight is controlled by the number of calories you eat and the number of calories you use each day. So, if you consume fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. You can do this by becoming more physically active or by eating less.

You didn't put on extra weight overnight so it is equally unrealistic to take it off quickly. Record a goal that you can reach in one month that is 4 to 8 pounds less than you weigh now. Set a goal you know you can achieve.

Diet plans, weight loss secrets;

One secret to quick weight loss is to try to avoid carbohydrate. When you eat toast, potato and juice for breakfast your blood sugar shoots up high and soon in a few short hours, it crashes down to make you quite irritable and very hungry. A better breakfast idea would be protein (meat, fish, poultry) and as little carbohydrate as possible.

Our products in addition to being extremely delicious, are particularly satiating, they fill you up. Our TMR (total meal replacements) provide high quality protein, low carbohydrate, and low fat, so they tend to keep your blood sugar level, and you never go through that sugar crash which causes the cravings.

Drink water - Reach for the goal of eight glasses a day. Even if you don't drink eight, you're drinking more than usual.

The secret to weight loss is that there is NO secret, NO magic pills or shots, no Chinese herbal magical potions. Just a few simple facts. To lose one pound you need a caloric deficit of 3500. I repeat, you must consume 3500 calories less than your body requires running its many complex energy utilizing functions.

Let’s do some math; as a man weighing 250 pounds you burn approximately 3250 calories a day to run your engines and maintain your weight stable. If you can go through your day eating 1250 calories, you will have a 2000 calorie deficit for the day. So for 7 days your calorie deficit is 14,000calories. (2000 X 7 = 14,000) and this should correlate with a 4 pound weight loss. 7days X 2000cal/day =14,000cal/week: 14,000cal ÷3500cal/pound = 4 pounds in one week.

It’s that simple taking into account the calories, however the nutritional considerations get tricky. You need adequate protein as well as vitamins and minerals. And 4 pounds are what you are expected to lose under ideal circumstances. If your calculations are correct and you don’t, then your bariatric physician (weight loss doctor) needs to determine what about your metabolism is blocking weight loss. Perhaps you need an appetite suppressant to help speed up your metabolism, or very often women need their hypothyroidism corrected and can’t shed the pounds until they do. Another reason to involve your doctor.

One of the most important points to consider when dieting is to intake adequate protein to maintain your lean body mass, your muscle, tendon and bone. You must take a good quality multivitamin every day, and women need to take extra calcium (2 Tums a day will work).
Our TMR (total meal replacements) are specially designed to provide you with 24 essential vitamins and minerals, and an extremely bioavailable form of high quality protein. Be very careful, low calorie diets may lack adequate protein and cause you to lose lean body mass. Your body requires ample high quality protein to ensure you lose weight, but as fat not lean muscle mass.
