A Few Changes

After swimming today, one of the swimmers asked me if I had any tips on losing weight. I asked him a few questions about foods he likes and what he did at his job. Then I suggested he write down everything he eats in a day and take a look at this 'food diary' after a week. "You might be surprised" I said. "There might be one food that is causing the trouble." There's a gal I know who lost weight giving up those sweet and creamy coffee drinks. There's a guy who comes to the pool who told me he lost 40 pounds just giving up refined foods and replacing them with whole grains. Another friend lost weight giving up his nightly beers. Then I said sometimes just a few changes can make a huge difference.
