[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is all about calories in vs. calories out.  You need to start tracking what you eat on a daily basis, use myfitnesspal.com.  You will be amazed how things add up.

You then need to figure out your macros and your TDEE (daily required calories) based on your activity level.  You can then figure how many calories to eat in order to be in a deficit.  http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/

P[b]eople make this much more difficult than it should be.[/b][/quote]

Lol- that is exactly what I thought when I was reading your post a about tracking everything. That just doesn't work for some people who don't like to live life like that. I think the 'avoid sugars and carbs' approach is MUCH easier than writing down that my breakfast was one piece of toast, 1 t of butter, 1.5t of jam, an apple, tea with 1t of honey, etc.  Keeping track of all those details, forgetting what I had, etc, stresses me out and just adds to my long list of things to do. The 'no sugars or carbs' approach was much easier to incorporate into my daily life.

To each their own. [/quote]

Some people have no concept of portion control or how many calories are in certain foods, etc.  Tracking even for a week could be eye opening for many people.[/quote]
