Introduction To Diet Planning
Planning your diet is a very difficult and personal process. No two people are alike and so no two diets are the same. This site gives you the opportunity to personalize proven diet techniques to your unique body type and specific caloric needs.
The diet method that has the most proven track record is calorie intake reduction. By monitoring your caloric you will be able to determine how many calories you are currently consuming. This number should correspond to the number of calories required to maintain your current weight. To begin your diet for weight loss you will need to subtract calories from your current caloric intake, and determine from the Body Mass & Caloric Intake chart on this site how many calories are needed to sustain your reduced (target) build type. This new number of calories should be less than the calories necessary to maintain your current weight. An example would be a woman who is 5 feet 4 inches with a large build requires 1695-2119 calories to maintain their weight. If that woman strives to have a medium or small build she needs to reduce her caloric intake to about 1600 calories a day.
A Body Fat Analyzer has also been added to the site as it is important to distinguish between a loss of weight and a loss of fat. Because fat weighs less than muscle, many time results from diet and exercise can be hidden by an increase in lean muscle mass. To determine if you are losing fat, which is the most important goal of any diet, using a fat analyzer can be very beneficial. A loss in body fat means your new regime is working. It is a good ideal to get your starting scores before initiation your diet so that you can really monitor the results of your hard work.
