"LESS IS MORE... LESS IS MORE...LESS IS MORE OF THE IMAGE I WANT TO SEE IN THE MIRROR I LOVE MY NEW Plastic surgery result and want to age and change Gracefully"

Weight Control is not just about looking better, it's about feeling better and controlling your destiny. It means being willing to watch what you eat and getting enough physical activity despite your daily commitments.

A calorie is a measuring unit for the energy stored in the foods and drinks you eat.

You digest food in your stomach where the process begins. When the calories you take in equal the calories you burn up, you maintain your weight. But, if you take in more calories than you burn off, your body stores these extra calories as fat. And, you gain weight. To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you take in. It's that simple.

A suggested Calorie Goal:

• Weight-loss diets typically call for 1,000 to 1,200 calories a day for most women. For men, it's often 1,200 to 1,600 calories. What's right for you will depend on:
• Your weight now
• Whether you're male or female
• How active you are
• If you eat less than 1,600 calories a day, you may want to take a vitamin supplement
• Ahhh, it's all in the math, but the reality of it is that it's DIFFICULT, PAINFUL, and at times TEDIOUS.
• Let's review some of the basic
• Weight loss benefits can occur after losing just 5% of your body weight which decreases hypertension and diabetes risk
• Calculate your BMI and employ the fraction rule to lose weight
• Employ the Fraction Rule until you are ready to diet
• Do not try to lose too much weight ( no more than 1 pound a week)
