The Importance of Weights and Measures

When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, you must play a bit of a weights and measures game. You are likely already well aware of your body weight and of your clothing size measures. However, you may not be aware that those measurements have a direct correlation to the weights and measures that you use in the kitchen.

First, lets begin by explaining how you can use your body weights and measures to your advantage. When you begin your diet, weigh yourself and mark your weight in your diary. Next, measure yourself. Begin by measuring the circumference of your arm just about the elbow. Next, measure your leg just above your knee. Measure it at its largest part as well. Measure your waist at your navel and again around your hips. These measurements will be tracked and charted throughout the course of your weight loss plan.

Next, develop a chart. Measure yourself once every two week. Try not to measure yourself too often, because you will not notice big changes. However, by measuring yourself once every two weeks, you will allow yourself to have room in between each week to adjust your diet and exercise and to make up for an mistakes you may have made during a busy week.

After two months of dieting and exercise, you should be able to observe a marked change in the numbers on your chart - they should be decreasing across the board.

Now, in the kitchen, make sure that you are aware of the weights and measures that are associated with each item that you prepare. Many people make more food than is recommended on the nutrition label's suggested serving. As such, they double or triple the portion of food...and the caloric intake. Pay close attention to these weights and measures in order to see your body's weights and measures reduce.
