No Gimmicks Weight Loss Community Group
No Gimmicks is a group for those who are losing or looking to lose weight the healthy way through exercise and cutting calories. We are all about making a lifestyle change instead of "dieting."
Tracking your calories every day increases weight loss success. If you multiply your weight times 13 calories, that is the number of calories you are taking in to maintain your current weight. It takes a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound a week (Eat 500 calories less per day or burn 500 extra calories per day). Do this until you reach your goal weight.
I use a Little Black Book-Daily Food Diary because I can carry it everywhere and it is not an app that ties up my phone!
Make a list, with calorie count, of your "yes" foods so you don't obesess over all the "no" foods. I print mine out and change it all the time.
I hope this formula and information helps someone get started!

Download this template for free...use it to make a list of 'yes' foods with calorie counts. Include fast foods you typically eat. This is a trick I use successfully because I actually get hungry for and anticipate the healthier menu item.

Both have huge databases you can type in what you ate and almost always find it.
Anyone know of any other sites for tracking that they might personally recommend?
