Basic Equation: Calories In < Calories Out

The formula for being fit is simple: Calories In < Calories Out.

If we eat more than what our bodies burn, these excess calories become excess fat in our bodies. We should be mindful of the total calories then that we take the whole day. If we are not able to utilize these for energy, expect those to put in more weight for you the next time you weigh in.

The key points:
1.) Eat only enough for your energy needs -- you might be surprised as to how less you will need.
2.) Subscribe to a balanced diet -- this ensures you get enough variety of nutrients that your body needs. Even fats have their use in our body (ever cared for healthy skin, nails and hair? fats play a role here).
3.) I the early part, avoid highly refined carbohydrates. Concentrate on fruits and vegetables. Eat less rice.
4.) Drink plenty of water -- for better digestion and flushing down of toxins in the body.
5.) Eat in small amounts every 4 to 5 hours. If you can, eat less at nighttime. You expend less energy on this time.

Be smart about your eating habits--and look smart and attractive afterwards...
