Thank you for the great response. A Beachbody program is surely a fail proof way to get results…the gym, yeah, you might, but likely not as extreme and rapid as with a Beachbody program! Thanks for the plug.

I do believe that it is important to track your caloric intake when dieting. Additionally, I always advise people to really track and think about what they are eating. The 100 calories in food X is not the same as the 100 calories in food Y. If you have a calorie budget of 2500 calories/day and you spend 800 calories on a latte or a bagel and cream cheese, you still have 1700 calories left your budget. But do you? I really do not think so because out of those 1700 calories almost all of them are empty calories unless you are eating a 100% whole wheat bagel.

Spend your calories wisely and you will probably never have to track them as you will feel satisfied. Eat 100% whole grain foods. Eat non-processed organic foods when possible. Snack often on fresh fruits.

Exercise, exercise, and exercise. I am not talking about going to the gym and pumping iron for exercise. I am talking about doing a Beach Body type of exercise.

The weight will come off automatically. Look at the before and after pictures of Taryn. Can you look like that going to the gym and playing around on the exercise equipment? Maybe. But don’t bet on it.
