- calorie. i just count calories, pay attention to fat intake and loose the weight and maintain it. its worked for me for the past 2 yrs.
- You need to take in atleast 2000 calories a day. It needs to be spread out in 40% carbs, 30% proteins, and 30% fats (unsaturated). This has been clinically tested and the results show it is the best split you can do for anyone from a sedentary lifestyle to a moderate intensity exerciser. So, you need 200g of carbs, 200g of protein, and about 750g of good fats spread over 6 meals. 1 carb=4 calories 1 protein= 4 calories 1 fat=9 calories
- long term maintenance diet 40/40/20 percent is fine (protein/carbs/fats). Protein will be high under that program if not leading an active lifestyle - which will definitely not be good for a diet plan. Always keep the glycemic index in mind. That is not a "fad" or a trick of some sort. Eat a potato, not a potato chip. Eat brown rice, not soda. ;)
- You need carbs as well as proteins. But this calorie counting has been tedious job. Today I started with an online diet called Fat loss for Idiots which has a diet menu generator that gave me my diet menu for each meal ( 4 meals a day) for 11 days. No need of counting calories here. You get ready made diet menu here. They say if done as per diet menu, one can lose 9 lbs in eleven days. that diet menu is based on calorie shifting formula and thus confusing metabolism and burning fat. It's like 1st day 3 carb meals and 1 protein meal, 2nd day 3 carb means and 1 protein+carb meal, third day 2 potein meals and 2 carb meals.... I found many positive reviews and so I bought it . It costs $39
