Me: "How has your eating been this week?"
Client: "Could be better"
Me: "Get right back on track and you will see it!"
Trying to lose weight without changing your diet just won't work. It might work to an extent, but soon enough your body will lose those initial 5 to 10 pounds from starting an exercise plan then it will stop losing. You will stay where you are at.
A diet plan in conjunction with exercise is the key to be able to see weight loss. It is the magic pill! I have suggested many different diet options for my clients to which I think will work best for their lifestyles and habits. Some of my clients are athletes and they are going to have a completely different diet plan than say some of my clients with diabetes or someone trying to lose weight.
The bottom line: Calories IN vs. Calories OUT
This statement is simple. If the amount of calories you consume in a day outweigh the number of calories you expend in a day, you will see weight gain. If you consume less calories than what you expend, you will see weight loss.
Typically women should not consume LESS than 1200 calories per day and men should not consume LESS than 1500 calories per day.
