Why do I gain so fast and lose so slow?

• It is easy to eat an extra 1000 calories
• But, Boy is it ever hard to burn 1000 calories
• 3hrs of walking
• 1hr 20min of running 6mph
• 2 hours of high impact aerobics

Your caloric intake is your best friend, not your
worst enemy

• Comfort food
• Examine why you need it
• Habit
• Old habits are hard to break so moderate
• Addiction
• Discipline in the store not the home

  calories per day

  calories/day
