How is your New Years Resolution of losing weight going?
Mind is going great. Because I am good at math. Let me teach you.
I think we make this weight loss thing WAY too complicated.
Here is what it boils down to.
Are you ready?
If the calories in EXCEEDS the calories out you GAIN.
If the calories out EXCEEDS the calories in you lose.
See the teal & green columns?
See. That isn't hard.
Now.

I use about 2000 calories a day. So if I want to lose 1 pound a week I need to keep my calories at 1500 / day. If I want to lose 2 pounds a week I eat 1000 calories a day. The problem here is any "diet" that goes below 1200 calories a day for a woman can get dangerous.
Which is where Take Shape for Life comes in. Our parent company Medifast has developed Medically Designed Meal Replacements. They give your body everything it needs to thrive during a calorie reduced weight lose program.
With my clients I use the 5+1. You eat 5 Medifast meals and one regular meal.... a Lean and Green. It doesn't get simpler than that. No appetite suppressants. No extra vitamins. Just 5 Medifast meals & 1 meal you cook.
Done.
And suddenly you find your calories out EXCEED your calories IN and BOOM... you are losing weight!
