I am not one to count calories, but Loseit.com does it for me, and gives me a daily calorie budget to reach my weight loss goals by a specific date. It's a no-brainer, which I really appreciate. I will have finished by February 28, 2017. Even that date will change as the weight comes off. Today I get to 'spend' 1398 calories, but I know I will only use less than 1000.
My friend Cindra is doing lots of smoothies and I like that too. My blender is staying on the counter, and fruit with unsweetened coconut-almond milk makes a great drink. Regular milk has disappeared from our shopping list.
I am cleaning out the refrigerator and have help from Dave and the dogs. I know if it's not there, I won't eat it. My big helper is the Cuisinart scale
which takes a tare and weighs in grams, ounces or pounds. It makes a big difference in figuring portion size.
OK enough diet talk.
Have a super day!
ReplyDeleteSo healthy!
Caution Melody, not enough calories can lead to the body into starvation mode and it is then harder to lose the weight.
ReplyDeleteYour plate of food looks delicious!! I shall have to wait some months before we have lovely fresh tomatoes still warmed by the sun.
ReplyDeleteI used fat free half and half for years. I recently switched to regular because ff has corn syrup in it, which I think is worse. You have to pick your poison.
