A couple of other points about calorie counting. Sweets, alcohol and salty snacks, unless you can control your intake, can be killers for calorie counting.
You will probably find yourself beginning to make healthier choices because that food usually contains less calories and is more filling.
Finally, as with all weight reducing programs, don’t worry about messing up. Don’t fret if you don’t feel like trying it again. All of the times it doesn’t work will get washed away when you get a weight reducing plan right!
