Remember, not that long ago, when the most popular diet on the market basically told you not to eat carbohydrates at all? People were scampering around trying to buy as much meat and as many eggs as possible. We even saw one woman in a bar refuse to have a drink unless it was made with diet tonic water because she didn’t want the carbs from the sugar in regular tonic water. That’s a true story!

When calculating how many calories you should both eat and burn per day and per week, you first need to understand how many calories there are in a pound of fat. The answer is simple:

What are some things that are about 350 calories? A large piece of cake, a medium milkshake, an average size piece of cheese quiche or a sausage roll all come in around the 350 calorie marker. Think about how easy it can be to eat an extra serving of each of those a day without even thinking about it! Read the rest of this entry »
