Value Meals

Want to lose weight? My story has been featured on CBS' The Doctors, CNN, and The Huffington Post. Learn how I lost over 125 pounds (100lbs in 6 months!) by clicking here.

We all have to balance between counting calories and burning calories — but the whole counting calories thing is a much more important part of the balancing act.

I’ve mentioned it countless times in the past, but it’s a fact that’s repeated by many people:  the calories you count and the amount of food you eat is much more important than the calories you burn during exercise.

It comes down to value — something everyone can appreciate it.

As an example of value, consider that it takes five to ten minutes to drink a can of Dr. Pepper.  That’s 150 calories consumed in a matter of a few minutes, probably as other calories are consumed, as well.  That 150 calories will take fifteen minutes or so of moderate activity (brisk walk, elliptical, etc) to burn off.

Drinking a Dr. Pepper is just an example — I’ve got no problems with the doctor — it’s just one of the countless ways you can effortlessly limit the calories you consume, which will greatly affect the calories you need to burn (or not).
