How many of you have that feeling of "what's use?" when you were wishing that you could be doing something better? You CAN do something better! Yes. It DOES take an investment in time. There are so MANY companies that need talents YOU have to offer. Everyone has some talent that is valuable to an organization. There are many great websites that offer skills assessment testing. The tests are invaluable for that kind of determination that asks what kind of a career you are suited for. Too many of us settle because I have been one who has settled in past. I am taking steps to attain my dream career. What you do with YOUR talent is up to you.

In this example, if your typical daily calorific intake is 2000 calories, in around 30 days you would put on between 4-5 pounds of fat!

Let’s say, you then decide to go on a restrictive diet and halve your calorific consumption to 1,000 calories per day. You stay on this diet for around a month and lose 10 pounds and now weigh 110 pounds. You feel fantastic about losing weight but can’t keep up such a restrictive regime because you are irritable and have no energy.

So you go off your diet and go back to your usual routine of 2,000 calories a day. Remember you are lighter now and your body requires less energy to maintain its new weight. You would now require 110 x 12, that is, 1320 calories per day.

In this instance, by consuming 2000 calories daily, because you are lighter than before, you would put weight back on in just 24-25 days!

If you want to keep weight off you must develop a consistent change in eating habits to ensure you do not consume more than your body requires. You cannot continue to eat same quantities and/or combinations of foods that caused you to be overweight in first place. This will require developing an understanding of nutritional content of food and raising your body’s metabolism through increased muscle mass and exercise.
