How to Double Your Weight Loss 

 by Suzie Cooney, CPT
My clients, who are the most successful in losing weight and keeping it off, know exactly what they eat, how much they eat and how to avoid the yo-yo ups and downs. Some experts say, don’t worry about counting calories , some say it doesn’t matter how many calories you eat, as long as you exercise in moderation.

 There is some half-truth to those statements. But math, is math, the numbers tell all.  Most people simply have no concept or any idea how much they eat in one day.  I will show you how to take a small step for a positive, lifetime change. Please don’t starve yourself, or over feed your body, but understand that your body needs you to make the best choices.

If you want to succeed in weight loss, break unhealthy eating habits, improve your nutrition, solve your own personal barriers to success, stop the confusion, uncover your “food” triggers, and stay on track, then keep reading! I want YOU to be healthy and be a success.

It’s really amazing how fast I can uncover what a person is lacking, or needing in their diet to achieve their goals. Or, what might be triggering them to eat at midnight or while in the shower. I’m not kidding!  The most common element I found, that when people are embarking on a new fitness plan, while learning how to eat well, they simply don’t eat enough.

Research clearly shows those who consistently monitor their food intake lose weight more steadily and keep it off more successfully than those who don’t. That’s because the journal keepers are able to identify the sources of empty calories and know when they resort to overeating.

 Surprisingly, I’ve encountered some opposition, a few roll of the eyes and groans, I had one person say, “ oh no, I can’t do that. That’s making me focus too much on food instead of exercise.” I politely said,  “Well, I said to my darling client, the choice is yours.”  What I wanted to say was, “Well, since you are fifty pounds over weight, it would appear that you place a great deal of focus on food,” but of course I didn’t want to offend them.

 If you really want to lose the weight and keep it off, learn how to keep a food journal or food diary.  It doesn’t have to be daunting or “one more thing” to do.  If you aren’t serious about making a change, or have a million excuses why you can’t do it, stop reading here.
