‘Control Your Calote intake and Portion size
‘This is what we call the “Classic Calorie Equation.” Your daily exercise
routine wil increase the amount of calories you burn each day. If you
also make sure that you eat fewer calaries than you burn, pool|—
you burn excess stored fat. I's a simple, scientifically proven fact that
never fails. And here's how to do it
Calories in:
First, regulate how many calories
yu consume. We recommend
that if “trimming fat is your goal,
1,200 to 1,500 calories per dayis | fF
2 low as you want to go. Any '
lower and your body wil think its
starving and reset your
metabolism. Targeting @ number
that is 500 calonies per day less
than you bur wil result in losing 2
‘pound per week. We recommend
staring wih 1,200 to 2,000
Calories per day, depending on
your goal, which wl steer you
‘away from lage portions. Add
‘calories only when you feel you .
‘need addtional energy. After al,
food is fuel

Calories out:
‘Second, approximate how many calories your body uses each day
Using the following arid, which is calculated based on your body
weight, your lifestyle, and the assumption that you will burn 300
calories in every rigorous 30-minute workout

Now that you have an estimate of how many calories your body
needs, you just need to make sure that you consume lass than that,
and your body will be forced to access its stored fat to make up the
difference. That's how you lose fat: Force your body to use stored
energy by controlling the “energy” (aka calories) you putin.

the general public. The Daily Deficit works. If you want to hit avery

E] Pay ATTENTION
to everything you eat
‘What you eat has a dct effect on everything from the
way your body works to your mood to the amount of
fat your bady bums or stores. For long-term weight
management (and health), we suggest that you
pay attention to everything you eat and use the
eyeball method” of controling portion size.
Balancing the type of foods you're eating and
always making sure you're geting enough
protein** are also important.
We recommend using Michi's Ladder to guide your
food choices throughout the day. The closer you are
to the top, the better results you wil get. I's a direct
relationship that cannot be overemphasized. No matter how much
‘you work out, if you don’t make smarter food choices, you will
‘ot see that layer of padding around your waist or thighs go
‘away. On the other hand, if you give yourself three solid weeks of
eating at the top of Michi’s Ladder, the results wil startle you
