Remember when Kareena Kapoor was a size zero and she said she ate everything, well that is true!

CALORIE COUNTING

A friend of mine who is a registered dieticien and works and plans dietary needs for senior citizens, confirmed the theory. She eats bananas, peanut butter and yogurt everyday and yet maintains her sexy figure. She gave me a diet plan too it said I could eat 1700calories everyday keeping in mind that I had a sedentary lifestyle with moderate excercise (i.e. housework). She added that I should make make a habit to count my calories (i.e. the calories that I eat), and now that is all possible using BODYMEDIA because it can give you the calories for every single cup of tea you consume with or without sugar, the chana-singh you pop into your mouth without thinking.

PEDOMETER

A very well endocrinologist I know once told me that if one wanted to loose weight they should make sure that they walk 10,000 steps a day. Now, on average a person walks about 2500 to 5600 steps per day. A pedometer helps you count your steps you can generally clip it to your waist or belt, parallel to your left or right leg. The pedometer must be caliberated intially by taking the first 10 steps and measure your stride.

Now most phones have applications that do the job, of counting your steps and they are quite accurate. You can buy it from anychemist and its quite cheap approximately Rs.1500 or you can pick it off eBay or Amazon or IndiaMart for much less.

BODYMEDIA

The all in one tool to stay fit and of course loose the pounds. This gadget basically counts your calories, your steps, your workouts, your sleep and helps you set your goal to fitness. It inspires you to change your lifestyle and makes you conscious of the calories you eat. It has a software that you would need to buy for your laptop, which is free for the first 3 months. However, the phone version of the software is free for the iPhone and androids.

At the end of the day you can get a tally of your calories burned and calories consumed, and ventually figure out what suits you best.

So you could eat the peanut butter, bananas and full fat yoghurt if you workout on the treadmill atleast an hour a day! DISCOVER YOUR OWN FITNESS POTENTIAL
