How many calories did you burn today?
Great question to get us all thinking about what we put in our bodies everyday. If your goal is to lose weight you need to take a peek at a great post by Amelia Burton on the process of calorie counting.
Ameli goes on to list six ideas to help you be more conscious about losing weight…
Simple yet powerful ideas to help you lose some punds when standing in line at Starbucks (or your local coffee shop):
1. Drink no more than 1 coffee shop coffee/tea per day
2. Always take the skinny option
3. Never add syrups, whipped cream etc
4. Try herbal teas that don’t require milk
5. Drink more water
6. Order the smallest size

I think if you were to follow the average American around all day and add up only Calories from beverages like coffee, soda, etc, you’d be surprised–probably enough for two nutrient rich meals..
Hello,
Toni Branner, M.D. has recently released a series of books focused on health and wellness for children and young adults who are practicing to become professional dancers or athletes. Toni received a Master’s Degree in exercise Physiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has been a life long dancer.
Her book and DVD for adults, The Safe Exercise Handbook (5th Edition) promote the importance of a regular exercise program as a means of improving your health and quality of life. This book is currently used on Naval aircraft carriers to guide military personnel through their workouts. Toni’s new books, just released are The Care and Feeding of an Athlete and The Care and Feeding of a Dancer. They address the important issues of oxidative stress, nutrition, muscle care, and stress management specifically for the active population.
Because you are interested in this subject we were wondering if you would be willing to receive a free copy of The Care and Feeding of a Dancer and The Care and Feeding of an Athlete and review them for us? We have attached a sample chapter of each book for your consideration. If you would like a copy for review, please respond with an address to which we may send the books. Once you receive them, we would appreciate a copy of your review on Amazon.com and your recommendation on your own site.
Thanks for your time and consideration,

I agree! Making a run for Starbuck’s doesn’t mean a 700 calorie drink. There are many ways to adjust your favorite coffee or tea drinks to still make them taste good. I always make these suggestions to my clients as well. Plus, who the heck wants to drink their calories and sugar anyway!
Hi great post,i completely agree with drinking herbal tea without milk,green tea is the best choice,sipping on it after a meal helps you to digest your food.
