Dieting and You

For those of you wishing to loose a few pounds, I just want to point out that diet and exercise will make a dramatic change in your weight. Yes, it takes a bit of effort and planning, but the results can be dramatic.

The Basics

Due to health reasons, I'm not on a "fad" type of diet. I'm limited to 1800 calories per day, plus its low sodium. You might think that would be pretty tough to follow, but its not.

I used to eat one BIG meal a day, eat until I was literally stuffed, and then fall asleep. Now, I eat three well-balanced meals per day, plus a snack before bedtime. When I first started the diet, I thought I'd be hungry all the time, however, I was completely wrong about that!

I'd advise anyone to research a potential diet, and above all: Check with your physician! There are some medical conditions that require special diets.

Here's another issue to consider: Its not in your best interest to try and lose a lot of weight fast. Lose weight slowly and consistently, over a period of time.

Don't forget to exercise, as well. A nice walk in the morning (or evening) will you to help burn calories, get your circulatory system functioning better, and overall just make you feel better, with more energy than you though you had.
