Win the Weight Loss Game: Controlling Your Calories

The greater calorie deficit you create, the greater your weight loss will be.

The good news is there are 3 ways you can create a calorie deficit without starving yourself or working out for hours on end.

Lets take a look at 3 ways to create a calorie deficit:

1. Decreasing calories through diet- This is the simplest way to create a calorie deficit. The best way to do this is to take the next 3 days and write down everything that passes your lips. Then, do a search on line for the caloric content of foods. Now, write down the total calories.

Now that you know how many calories you're eating, go ahead and substitute some of the lesser- quality foods with fibrous vegetables such as broccoli, spinach and red bell peppers. Then, for desserts, have some fresh or frozen berries like blueberries, raspberries and black berries.

2. Cardio workouts- Cardio workouts can be as simple as a walk or job around the block, depending on your level of fitness. If you are more advanced, you can do wind sprints outside, or use the treadmill, bike or elliptical machine indoors.

These will help burn off excess calories and allow for a calorie deficit, which will help you lose weight.

3. Weight training- not many people know about the calorie killing, fat burning furnace that lean muscle is. A simple bodyweight or weight training routine can work wonders for weight loss.

The reason is that lean muscle is metabolically active- which in plain English means burns a lot of calories on it's own. This calorie burn happens even while sleeping. How's that for easy weight loss?

So those are 3 ways to create a calorie deficit. Follow this basic template and you'll be on your way to a great body.

Most of the press about antioxidants lately has been about the exotic newcomers to the market- the gogi, noni and acai berries. These are usually sold as expensive juice blends at local health food stores and through multi level marketing businesses. A compelling story about where they come from and how hard they are to obtain is usually what marketers use to rationalize the jacked up price. Plums are a more convenient and lower- priced choice.
