    About this ebook

    Is that you? Nice! So glad you are back for more. Ready for some more serious stuff now I see. Well good for you, you really have been putting in the effort.
    Look at yourself today; take a picture if you like. You are now like a river; you are never going to be exactly what you were yesterday. Smile.
    Seems weight loss is a big problem for some, and a large topic to discuss, no pun intended. Diet for weight loss is a simple equation less calories in, more calories out. Yet thin does not equal fit. Believe me when I say there is not a person that I have taken care of (in my over 30 years of experience in helping people) that did not have some problem which had a food component. By the time they get to me, they have little choice in what or even when they are told to eat. I much prefer it when people have their own choices that they can make.
    Too many illnesses are caused by our lifestyle. All of our health is influenced by our food choices; what, when and how we eat. As a nurse I have to deal with people who are struggling to regain their health. I would be happy if I never had another patient hospitalized because of the diet they ate or a diet they tried.
    I am not going to propose another Miracle diet, what I propose here is making a change to a Healthy Lifestyle. Make this change and your weight should fall right into line without you stressing over it. You begin by making the decision that this is something you want to do for you and then start taking steps in that direction.
    One major side effect of a healthy lifestyle is weight loss; and you become a lesser person, no I mean less of a person, I mean there will be less of you. Dang; smaller doesn’t sound right there either. Well you know what I mean.
    The equation for a healthy lifestyle is moderation, nutrition, exercise, balance of work and play, and making good informed choices. If you try, really try, then you cannot fail to make your life and your body healthier.
    In Quick and Easy Techniques to Safely Jump-start Your Weight Loss we looked at internal and external factors that can impact your success, and some areas for change. Now on to the more tedious adult stuff: food, food groups, drinks, exercise, calories and carbs. More Tips and techniques to jumpstart and fuel your weight-loss plan.

    Hello. I am Beverly. A normal woman in a hectic world; sometimes "Super" at other times "Wonder” Woman.My main job titles include Mother, Grandmother and wife of over 28 years. Secondary titles (though less formal, still of utmost importance) include Domestic Engineer and Hearth Manager; not to mention that I am a master at juggling.Professionally I am a Registered Nurse, specializing in psychiatric nursing with over 30 years of experience in helping people in crisis. This "calling" started with a degree in Psychology from VPI&SU in 1981. This was combined with a RN degree in 1992 and advanced into the specialty with ANCC certification in Mental Health and Mental Illness in 1995.I have worked in many professional areas over the years including medical hospitals (general medical and cardiac care), counseling, mental hospitals, and home health. The specific job titles have varied, including Psychiatric Nurse, RN Clinician, and Behavioral Nurse Specialist. By far the most intense experiences came from over 15 years working in a state-run mental institution in areas of Detox, Substance Abuse, Adolescence, and Acute Admissions. The most challenging experiences came from Psychiatric Home Health Nursing.Hobbies (when time allows) include Music, Cooking, Art, crafts, photography, physical fitness, volleyball/softball and raising northern breeds Siberian Huskies and American Eskimos.Writing has been a lifelong passion. It is something that I am compelled to do. Whether writing fiction, poetry, or a professional in-service the enjoyment I get is the same. So many stories clamoring for attention, impatiently waiting to be told.

      Foods, Calories, and Exercise

      Chapter 1: Introduction

      Is that you? Well welcome back. Ready for some more serious stuff now I see. Well good for you, you really have been putting in the effort. I hope that you are feeling better and giving yourself the recognition you deserve for your efforts.

      In Quick and Easy Techniques to Safely Jump-start Your Weight Loss you got started on those 50 Tips, Hints, and Techniques to make changes toward a healthy lifestyle. Starting at the beginning you have seen your medical professional and are ready, able, and willing to proceed. You have explored the internal and external factors that can impact your success; looked at 9 common barriers and 18 options to set up an environment for success. You also looked at some unconventional areas for change. As you can see this is not your traditional dieting book. There are many good resources available for weight loss; specific diets, recipes, programs, and professionals. The sheer volume can be disorienting, and confusing.

      As a nurse I have frequently seen people misunderstand and misinterpret information they have been given. As a general rule I have found that if it seems extreme than to proceed with extreme caution. Here you will find the information I have provided to my patients over the years. It is intended to give you basic information in a concise manner in hopes to eliminate some confusion. This is basic information based on a healthy individual with no dietary or activity restrictions. If your doctor has identified any health issues please be aware of any limitations. When I discuss calories and list them, this information was gathered during courses in nutrition and physical fitness over the years. These were combined and utilized as education aides. There are many websites which will calculate and assist you with further information; access these with a simple search.
