Ronald Said:

what is a more effective way to lose weight? counting calories or dropping all wheat products from diet?

We Answered:

i'd say dropping wheat from your diet!
Whatever carbs you eat you would have to burn off double what you ate in order to loose anything but with an all protien and nutrient diet youll just be eating energy and nutrients.
I suppose it also depends on your body and how it reacts with carbs.

how to lose weight fast by counting calories?

We Answered:

1200 calories for a 205lb person is WAY tooooo low. You'll end up losing muscle first. Re-calculate how many calories you need in a day, minus 20% from that.. and stick to that.

Sheila Said:

Did you lose weight easier while counting calories or while not?

We Answered:

I have found that a calorie diary can not only keep you honest but also show the amount of healthy and non-healthy foods you are consuming. You can just round and estimate but it doesn't work as well as keeping a journal.

How Can You Lose Weight Quickly Without Counting Calories?

We Answered:

People are so lazy, it's amazing. People would rather purge to lose weight then eat healthy food and exercise.

Get a grip on life.

The recipe for fat loss is simple: reduced calories(healthy food) + cardio = fat loss.

Karl Said:

can i lose weight counting calories?

We Answered:

only time ive been able to lose weight is by counting calories. otherwise you are just quessing whether you are overeating or undereating.
ate 1300 to 1500cal for 5 months to lose 33lbs.
since being off the diet i bought the book, I Can Make You Thin by Paul McKenna and the techniques in the book taught me how to reprogram my thinking about eating. lots easier than counting calories to control weight.
but counting calories works better than almost any other method. just get use to being hungry.
