Should I Count my Calories?

This is a good ques�on, and it really depends on the person. I would suggest that anyone that’s
looking to lose weight, should count their calories for at least two weeks. That way they can get
a proper understanding of how many calories they are currently ea�ng and how many calories
are in certain foods.

One day you may think that you haven’t eaten many calories, so you can now treat yourself to
some McDonald’s chips. A large McDonalds chips contains a whopping 460 calories! And that’s
not including a meal. If you’re like me, you could probably eat two large chips and s�ll be
hungry! Tracking calories will pinpoint where you binge, and where the bulk of your calories are
coming from.

A�er two weeks of coun�ng calories, it’s up to you whether you con�nue or not. The pros of
coun�ng calories are that you know exactly what you’re ea�ng and how much of a calorie
deficit you are in. The cons of coun�ng calories are that it can be tedious, especially if you have
a busy lifestyle. Coun�ng calories should also not be done by people who have hadan ea�ng
disorder in the past.

Expending Energy Without Equipment

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

What is HIIT?

High-Intensity Interval Training, also known as High-Intensity Intermi�ent Exercise, involves
alterna�ng between short bursts of intense exercise followed by lower-intensity recovery periods. HIIT
is a form of aerobic training which usually takes under 15 minutes to complete.

The great thing about HIIT is that it doesn’t require any equipment; it can be done anywhere, at any
�me, it takes however, a lot of determina�on to put the body under such intense condi�ons.
