The Secrets of Skinny Chicks

Hey guys,

First of all, we will be having classes today. If you can't get out, that is totally cool. But I will be there.

Second, I have been reading this book... The Secrets of Skinny Chicks... and I am going to start sharing their secrets with you.

Secret Number 1: Burn All the Calories You Eat

One pound of fat equals 3500 calories. Eat that much more than you need and you will gain a pound. Cut down the number of calories you eat -down to what you really need- and the pounds come off. The very active skinny chicks usually don't consume more than 1600 calories a day so start there and see how it works for you. Now to figure out what you are eating you are going to have to track everything you put in your mouth. Even the milk in your coffee...no cheating! You may be surprised at how much you are eating and exercising compared to what you think you are doing. You will soon see where you need to make adjustments, then plan ahead. Tracking AFTER you eat often gets you in trouble. The website below has a place you can track your food. If you don't like that one email me, I know some more.
