Wanna Live Fit
The purpose of this group is to help people who are trying to embrace the living fit lifestyle by helping them accomplish their fitness goals. Three main objectives for this group is (1) to help participants learn what is proper to eat and what isn't as they attempt to reach their healthy weight goal through proper diet and physical fitness. (2) to help participants define a workout plan the will help them reach their fitness goals. (3) to help participants become successful by participating in a village of people who believe in and embrace the first 2 objectives.
Wanna Live Fit is in no way an attempt to condemn anyone, nor will it attempt to tell anyone how they must lead their life. No one needs lectures or pious life lessons from me or anyone else about how to lead their life. We are all adults who own their own lives. Participation is entirely voluntary. What we do is out of love.
Group rules:
1. Be open and willing to contribute and participate
2. Ask if there’s anything you don't understand
3. Be kind and considerate of others
4. Have fun
If you DON’T think this is for you, let me know and I can remove you from the group. No harm, no foul. But if you’re interested to give it a go and stay with Wanna Live Fit for this journey, you are most welcome! We can do this together since we all Wanna Live Fit!
So let’s get started!!! Please do the following:
Step #1
Read - HowToEatWhileWorkingOut.pdf
It's an easy read that will give you a good idea of what we initially plan to do.
I’ll email you a copy. Please read it ASAP so you can get started.
Step #2
Use either MyFitnessPal (MFP) or go back to page 12 (calorie calculators), and compute the number of calories you need to reach your weight goal. Your weight goal will be one of these three: (1)Lose weight, (2)Gain weight or (3)Maintain current weight.
Step #3
Take your total daily calorie count that you computed in the previous step and divide it by 6, which is the number of meals you will each each day.
These meals are
1:breakfast,
2:pre-lunch snack,
3:lunch,
4:pre-dinner snack
5:dinner
6:post-dinner snack
You may take calories from the a meal and add to a snack but at the end of the day you should have eaten 6 meals while staying within you daily total calorie number
For example -
Say the total calories computed for the day = 1750
Divide the 1750 calories by 3 (meals) + 3 (snacks) per day
EXAMPLE:
Breakfast 350
Pre-lunch snack 100
Lunch 450
Pre-dinner snack 100
Dinner 650
Post-dinner snack 100
NOTE: BUT DO NOT MOVE ALL THE SNACK CALORIES OVER TO ANY MEAL AND DON’T SKIP ANY MEALS. You must eat 6 meals a day, and stay within your calorie goal for your body to learn how to metabolize properly. This is very, very necessary for weight control.
Step #4
At this point you should have a good idea of how many calories you need for each meal and you will now be able to plug the numbers into MFP.
Post a comment that you have gotten this far and I will get back with you to discuss you goals, etc and assist you with navigating/posting to MFP.
