There was quite an article in National Geographic about the state of our world-and the growth of our size. Much of it boils down to... less activity, more food consumption. Energy we take in that we do not use-gets stored as fat.
Getting down to basics --when you use more energy than you take in-your fat stores decrease. If approx. 3500 kilo-calories equals a pound-by breaking that down into a week- we really are looking at 500 calories per day. Think of a calorie as a source of energy, not food focus but energy focus. To make this even less of a big deal-say we break the 500 calories in half. So each day we could simply eat 250 calories less than we usually do-and then expend 250 calories more than we typically would. That could be as easy as cutting one soda and substituting a glass of good ol' H2O, and taking a nice bike ride (not too hard) for 30 or so minutes.
Maybe that is our problem, the radical thinking that we must train for a marathon and/or only eat salads. Small steps--lets' work on the 250 X 2 per day plan and see what happens in a week or two---not so forbidding when it is broken into small steps eh?! Cheers! Dee
