Digital Kitchen Scale - This Scale Is Your Weight Loss Friend

Think the scale is your enemy in your weight loss battle?  Not when it's a digital kitchen scale! 

One of the biggest mistakes that people who are trying to lose weight make is that their portion sizes are off.  Even if you're eating a healthy food, if you eat too much of it, you're throwing off your daily calorie count without even realizing it and sabotaging your diet. 

It's really easy to overeat foods like cereal, nuts, pasta and more if you're not careful, and it can make all the difference when you're on your body weight scale.

If a food item is not individually pre-packaged, the only way to be sure you're getting the right portion is to measure it.  I've used measuring cups and spoons, as well as an inexpensive manual diet scale with the little cup on it that looks like an old-fashioned postage scale.  But I've always wanted a digital kitchen scale so I could accurately and easily measure out my food portions.

Why New Year's Resolutions Don't Work

It's January 13th, do you know where your New Year's Resolutions are?

You got ready for 2013 by swearing you were going to lose weight and make it a healthy one, yet 2 weeks in if you're reading this, there's a pretty good chance that you've already thrown in the towel.  So why is it that New Year's Resolutions generally seem not to work?  And, more importantly, what can we do about it? 

There's something about the prospect of a new year and starting with a clean slate that makes it hard to resist making a New Year's Resolution and swearing you're going to turn over a new leaf.  And it's not necessarily a bad thing to stop and take a good hard look at where you are with your healthy habits and weight loss at a logical point and promise to do better.
