Weight Loss Programs

There are so many different weight loss programs available today.  Selecting the one that is right for you can be challenging.  Each program can have a different philosophy on how the body functions and what you should be eating.

Some of these programs will tell you the exact opposite of another program.  For example, eat no carbs and all protein, or eat only good carbs and low protein.  We are providing you with all the program facts so that you can make a better judgment of which program you should go with.

Everyone has different needs and health concerns.  Some weight loss programs can be very hard to maintain with certain medical conditions.  Always check with your doctor before starting any new program.

Of course, you don't have to select one of these programs.  Simply watching what you eat and adding daily exercise is a great way to start any weight loss.  Check out our Do the Math section to find out how many calories you need to cut each day in order to the lose the weight you want.

Think of your weight loss program like you would your checkbook.  If your balance is 2000 Dollars (calories) per day, subtract out the dollars (calories) your body burns each day,  including any exercise you do.  Then add the dollars (calories) of the food that you eat in one day.   If you want to lose weight you will need a positive balance on a daily balance.  If your account is negative, then you will be gaining weight.
