Frustrated? Don’t Give Up!

Overcoming Frustration.
Getting in shape has a ton of health benefits. You become stronger, have more endurance, boost your energy, increase your metabolism, tone your muscles, lose weight, and feel better overall just to name a few.
Sometimes though what we expect to happen doesn’t happen as quick as we like. Getting frustrated for not seeing the results you want immediately is a normal reaction. Keep in mind, the weight you are tyring to lose wasn’t put on over night so losing weight won’t happen in the blink of an eye. Now I’m not saying losing the weight you want is going to take years, but it does take time.
Healthy Grocery List

Ok, now that everything is up and running for FitCamp I’m getting back into artcile writing mode! When I last wrote I was doing a three part series on Healthy Eating. First was my Simple Guide To Eating Healthy which breaks down what Carbs, Protein, Fats, and Fiber do for your body.
In Calories, the Right Way To Count ‘em, a calculator is provided for you to download. It calculates how many calories a day you need and also give you a guidline for creating a diet based on how many grams of each macronutrient you need.
So now that you’ve learned why you eat and how much you eat, it’s time to learn what to eat! Grocery shopping can be a pain in the butt, especially if you are starting a new diet…but don’t think of this as just another diet you are starting..it’s a lifestyle change. The foods you’ll be buying won’t be pre packaged, full of sodium, loaded with excess carbs, and definelty won’t be bad for you!
Calories, The Right Way to Count 'em
Posted by kvonatzigen in Diet on August 22, 2009
Tired of counting calories and not even knowing why or what you are counting?
Hopefully you read my Simple Guide to Eating Healthier. In it you learn the basics of Carbs, Protein, Fats and Fiber…but how much of each do you need a day?
Well, it really depends on your current weight, age, height and activity level. I’ve provided a calculator which uses the Mifflin – St Jeor Equation.
To use the calculator just put in your age, height in inches, weight in lbs and then you will then be given your Average Daily Calorie Needs and also the amount of each macronutrient (carbs, protein, fats) that you should be eating each day.
The calculator provides results for all activity levels. This will help you on those weeks you aren’t working out as much b/c you can simply check the calculator and change up your diet for the week.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me or leave a comment!
