Healthy Weight

Weight Loss Maintenance

Lose weight fast without even thinking about it. An omelette is for lunch. Breakfast in France begins with bread, ideally toasted and topped with a dollop of homemade jam. Alongside it, an espresso or cup of black tea makes a perfect complement. A modern and acceptable alternative might be a bowl of cereal, but only if really hungry. When a full three-course lunch waits ahead, no hunger between now and then will last for long. The French woman wakes her body up slowly with a petit cafe on the balcony in the sun.

Most people overestimate the calories they burn on a run," says Angela Rubin, USAT Level I triathlon coach and studio manager of Precision Running Lab at Equinox in Boston. As a very general estimation, you burn about 100 calories per mile (use this calculator to determine how many calories you burn based on your weight). So if you run two or three miles, you'll burn about 200 to 300 calories—a solid workout.

The average American's fiber intake is about half of what it should be. We should eat 25 to 30 grams per day; most Americans eat half, or 15 grams. Our diet is high in meat and processed food, both of which contain little fiber. Grains have gotten a bad reputation because of gluten and carbs; vegetables are too often relegated to a small corner of the plate. I advise adding diverse types of fiber to your meals so that your body gets it from as many sources as possible.
