My friends and co-workers have been frustrated with the weight loss and they have been asking me what is it that I am doing that they are not doing. They had wanted to eat exactly what I eat and how much. Well, we all have different tastes and what I like is not what you like. So this took time on my part and my friends. I had asked each of them to create a food journal of what they ate for the week. Then I would evaluate the food choices and come up with suggestions and/or recommendations. I do not try to change their food choices but play with them. The most important thing about weight loss is the amount of fat you eat.
So for instance take a cup of yogurt, we all feel it is very healthy and low calorie, one would think. But look carefully at the nutrition label - yes, I actually read it...Look at the total calories, it would be like 200 - not bad! Now, look at the total calories from fat - Gotcha! I will tell more later why this is important...
