It’s seven months into the year and where are you in your resolution to lose a few pounds? I admit that in January I resolved to lose some weight and started on my journey January 22. My method involved writing down everything I ate and while searching to find the amount of calories in an apple I found a web site called The Daily Plate. I signed up for free account (just to try it out) and used it to log all the food I ate and all the workouts I did. The result is that I’m twenty pounds lighter and still counting.

What I really love about this site is that it makes it easy to count calories. Just type in what you ate and you will find that members of this site have already entered all the nutritional information for you so just point and click and add it to your plate for the day. I weighed myself weekly,entered my weight and it recalculated the number of calories I needed to eat everyday to keep losing weight automatically. If your not trying to lose weight and just want to eat healthy you can still use The Daily Plate because it keeps track of your sodium intake, fat intake and protein etc..etc.. the features are endless.

I know there are so many diets out there and it can be frustrating and confusing to find what works for you but The Daily Plate makes it easy because it’s built on the simple principle that in order to lose wieght you have to expend more calories than you consume and when you use it you will be able to discern if you are doing that and when you do you lose weight.

I know, it can be a pain in the butt to have to input into the website every morsel you put in your mouth and every session on the treadmill but it was so worth it when I was able to toss my size 14 jeans for a size 10. Now my size 10’s are getting baggy.

Just try it. (Eat smarter, lose weight or mainatain your weight loss @ The Daily Plate)
