Calorie Counting

The Best Way to Lose Weight

According to the British Nutrition Foundation* "To lose weight, the energy intake from food must be less than the energy output". This is why calorie counting is the most effective weight loss method. It goes straight to the heart of the problem.

Losing weight through calorie counting is relatively easy. You won't have to put normal life on hold while calorie counting. Added benefits are that calorie counting raises your awareness of what your body needs; educates you about what's in what you eat, and helps you learn how to eat healthily for life.

Starting to Calorie Count

First you'll need to work out how many calories you need each day to maintain your current weight, and how many to lose weight at a rate of 1-2lbs a week. You can do these things by taking a free trial of Weight Loss Resources. It gives you all the tools you need to make calorie counting easy. You can keep online food and exercise diaries, calorie count your own recipes, and find out how many calories you need.

Next you need to keep track of how many calories are in the foods and drinks you consume each day, to make sure you have a negative calorie balance.

You can do this by keeping a food diary and checking the calorie content of what you eat either from a calorie counting book or from the Weight Loss Resources database.
