Wednesday night is girls night out for margaritas and Mexican.So as we're eating my best friend jokingly says "damn Nikki you sure can pack it away".LOL Then someone else says in a jealous tone well she can eat whatever she wants she's a workout fanatic.WRONG on both counts!Anyone who knows me knows I'm certainly no exercise fanatic.
It did get me thinking though this morning though about weight and fat loss and the like.I realize there are some people who can probably eat like that but I'm not one of them.Truth be told my eating havita are terrible.I could never follow that 6 small meals a day crap!I know what a balanced meal is but couldn't tell you the last time I had one.I eat once or twice a day but have what I want.I don't count calories but obviously I consume my maintenance level or below over time.
To me seeing all the infomercials and forum threads about people wanting to drop pounds they're missing the target.Sure everyone should exercise and some programs are certainly superior to others in burning calories.HOWEVER by far the most crucial thing is how many calories you consume.Once you know what your maintenance calorie level is eat less it's that simple.Just pass the margarita and guacamole this way!LOL

Amen Nikki!
I've counted calories, done weight watchers, macrobolic diet, warrior diet, precision nutrition, blah blah blah. Truth is, I REFUSE to conform. Why can't I be a follower when it comes to eating programs?
My diet is actually pretty good nutrition wise, but I have a hard time finding what my maintenence calories are.
Truth be told, I'm sure my metabolism is screwed up from calorie restriciton that I'm doing a little experiment.
I like to eat every 3 hours or so and I will do that but without counting a single anything or even weighing myself.
I think I will find that once the pressure is off, the fat will come off. So thanks to you for encouraging us to enjoy life and train INTENSE!
