Here is a sample excerpt:
Introduction
I love food. I have been a personal trainer since 2007.
Before I became a trainer I was overweight. I would love to tell you that after
I became a trainer it was easy to stay thin from there on out. That simply was
not the case. Over the past six years my weight has fluctuated. I would get
tired of counting calories. I would fall off the wagon and eat/drink my
calories with reckless abandon.
At the beginning of 2014, I was overweight again.
Over the course of a year I lost approximately 30-35 pounds through diet and
exercise. While calorie counting played a vital role in my weight loss
journey I cannot tell you that I tracked my calories religiously. Even
though calorie counting works it is difficult to continue on a long-term basis.
I have trained several clients that struggle with the
same issue. They become overwhelmed with counting calories or points. Tracking
a few days seems tolerable until life gets busy. The task becomes tedious,
daunting, or forgotten.
I have written this book to make calorie counting less of
an issue. The book can be used as a tool to plan your meals. Imagine that this
book is your selected menu when dining out. The key is to plan ahead and make healthier
choices. I recommend planning three meals per day plus one or two snacks. If
you are trying to lose weight, then limit yourself to one snack until you reach
your goal weight. If you are working out vigorously, then definitely add
the second snack to keep up your energy.
How does it work? There is a calorie budget set for
each meal of the day. Then I have supplied several meal choices that fall
within that budget. The budget is as follows:
Breakfast 200 to 400 calories
Lunch 300 to 500 calories
Snacks 150 calories
Dinner 550 to 650 calories
If you plan out 3 meals plus a snack, then you will be
falling somewhere between 1200 to 1700 calories. If you add an additional
snack, then you will be consuming approximately 1350 to 1850 calories. Please
consult with your physician or dietitian regarding the appropriate calorie
target for you to reach your goals.
In order to measure your portions you will need a few
tools. You will need a set of both dry and liquid measuring cups,
measuring spoons, and a digital food scale. I recommend purchasing a
digital food scale that can toggle from grams to ounces.
This book is not an all-inclusive calorie counter, and it
is not necessarily a plan to get ripped. It is simply a tool to make lower
calorie choices on a daily basis in a very realistic, easy way. Once you have
your calories under control, then take it a step further. Eliminate excess fat
and sugar from your diet. I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you that excess
saturated fat and excess sugar wreak havoc on your metabolism. I have no desire
to replicate the books that are already out there that cover the subject at
length.
Fresh whole food is certainly better for you, so why did
I include so many restaurants? I have covered fast food and sit-down dining,
because it is a reality in American culture. I am not suggesting that you eat
out all the time. We all know it is easier to eat healthy at home. However,
that knowledge is not stopping countless people from eating out. It is a
reality that dining out is social, convenient, and often fun. That is pretty
tough to give up.
Several meal plans are hard to stick with, because they
are too rigid. They might be healthy, but everyone’s palate is different. If a
meal plan includes a lot of foods that you do not enjoy, then you probably will
not stick with it very long.
