Know your daily calorie limit

Know your daily calorie limit. When I was in the process of losing weight, it was suggested that I stay under 1700 calories a day. Knowing that number was half the battle. I could eat anything I wanted throughout the day, so long as I would stay at or beneath that number. While I couldn’t track 100% of the items I ate, I was able to make intake estimates – and adjust my schedule and ration my remaining calories accordingly. In this sense, you’re given extreme freedom – so long as you stay at or beneath that suggested calorie level for your plan. If you don’t know how much you’re supposed to take in, how are you supposed to know how much you’re supposed to take in?! Sounds redundant, but it’s a situation that many “dieters” are in (which is why they fail)!

Optimum health

We all need essential fatty acids for optimum health, but most Americans consume far too many omega-6 fatty acids (mainly from vegetable oils), and not enough omega-3 fatty acids (found in oily fish, walnuts and freshly ground flaxseed). This imbalance can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, inflammatory conditions, cancer and other health concerns.

While eating several servings of oily fish (I prefer wild Alaskan salmon and sardines) per week is a start, you may want to consider fish oil supplements, especially if you don't enjoy fish. Available in liquid or capsule forms, fish oil is effective at helping to reduce blood pressure, is beneficial to the nervous system, and can even help alleviate mild to moderate depression. Omega-3 fatty acids may also help support the health of breast tissue by maintaining healthy breast cells, a positive note for women with a family history of breast cancer. Look for capsules or oil that are certified free of contaminants, and begin with small daily doses, building up to the recommended amount.manic depression treatment
