Use Weight Loss Calculators to Keep Your Diet on Track
Article by Allan D. Johnston
Need some help with staying motivated to lose weight? Most people set goals when they start to lose weight but they lose interest too quickly because the goals often seem a long way away and in some cases, unattainable. One good way that you can keep yourself interested and on track for your goals is by using a weight loss calculator.
A weight loss calculator and planning tool can help you break down your long term goals into short term milestones which are easier to reach – and reaching your weekly goal makes you feel better and motivates you to keep going. So for example, if your overall goal is to lose 40 pounds, you can calculate the number of calories you need to reduce your intake by every day, and then how much you can lose on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. If you calculate that you need to reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories per day, you can then figure out exactly what you need to eat on a daily basis, and follow along with your goals and keep track of exactly where you are, and really see your progress as you go.
You can also access a BMI calculator or similar tool which will tell you your ‘ideal’ weight. BMI stands for Body Mass Index, and compares your height and weight to determine whether you are underweight, normal, or overweight. While this is somewhat controversial, due to not accounting for body types and other factors, the BMI can give you a general idea of what your target weight should be – and possibly whether or not you even need to lose weight at all.
Finally, there are endless meal planners, calorie calculators and diet helpers found online which can provide you with virtually anything you need to know or want to be able to plan in order to stick to your diet and achieve your weight loss goals. So decide what you think will help you to stay motivated, go find it online, and remember, you can do it!
