Recommended 2000 calorie diet is making me FAT !!!

 FDA and other sources that you see, recommend or calculate based on a 2000 calories per day diet.

All the food you eat, has to be consumed or worked out by you. Any that i not consumed is stored as FAT in body for later use.

So how much is each calorie worth ?

Do consume each calorie, you have to walk it out or do equivalent work to burn it.

1 calorie = 20 steps (walked)

2000 calories = 40,000 steps.  

If you have a desk job like me, when the hell do i walk 40,000 steps ? No wonder i am FAT and getting more FAT every day.  WTF  !!!!

Now to loose all that fat, its going to take more to burn it, as its all solid calories.

1 gram of fat  = 9 calories = 180 steps 

250 grams of fat =  2250 calories =  45,000 steps

So to burn 1 pound of body fat, I need to walk 10,000 steps ( roughly 5 miles ) , each week ( 5 days a week ) .

So to start, first, I need to reduce my calorie intake to half of recommended, to about 1000 calories. 

Next, to walk 5 miles daily or do 1 hour intense exercise, to burn those extra fat cells, that have accumulated over many years.

Hopefully, if I keep myself motivated and don't quit , i can shed those extra pounds in couple of years.

I hope FDA will change the calories intake recommendations and  tell all to eat less !!!

If you are athlete like Mike Phelps, you can eat 10,000 calories, but you are not. so don't !! :)

Do you think something or someone is GOOD or BAD ? Depends where you start

Do you think something or someone is bad or good, depends on how you start evaluating .

If you start on a positive note, considering that its good, than you will see all good things in that person or concept. Your list of good things will be much longer than the list of bad , which you usually tend to overlook . Its difficult to shake that positive thought.

If you start with the negative thought about something or someone, you start highlighting all the negative aspects and your negative list is bigger and all the positives are overlooked. You started with bad and after quick evaluation, ended up with worst thought for that person or thing or concept.

So where should you start ?

If you have positive thought, start by considering that its a negative thing or person and see if you can find and highlight all the negative aspects . Later you can evaluate for yourself if you still think, the positives are more to overlook all negative .

Similar way, if you have negative outlook for someone or something, start your evaluation with the positive bias and see if you can find all positive aspects and later evaluate if your list of positives is still lower than your previous negative outlook . 

You might change your mind , from what you were thinking previously.


Everybody has the great - What if question !!!

Many times in our life, we have the What-if question, about decisions we made or something that didn't happen or that old girlfriend that we didn't connect with, etc. etc.

What didn't happen, we can only guess at this time, as to what it would had been, ad it would be only a guess and things could had turned out either good or very bad. Remember that you took that decision, at time in past for a reason or some circumstance .

Look at your life Now. Do you feel your life is good now ? 

If your Answer is YES , be thankful that your life has turned out very good , even tough you had missed on certain things or people in life. It is much better now, for sure . It might had turned out to be not so good, had those past events happened in your life, and your life would had taken altogether different turn and it would be a different life you would be leading now.

So stop worrying about your past decisions and feel blessed for a happy life you have NOW.

If you are worrying about a What-If question in present, than just go and ask for it. Ask for that raise you feel you deserve OR Ask that girl out that you had been waiting for a long time , at worst you will get a NO answer, nothing to loose in that. In future, you can say, hey at least I tried. The What-If feeling is worst, if you don't even try. The outcomes can vary, which is not something you control. 

Outcomes of anything we do or any action we take, is result of so many secondary events that its difficult to guess the exact outcome. We can only guess the probabilities. So if you have guessed probability of a positive event of being high, go for it for sure. Sometimes your positive guess, might not agree with the outcome you get, that does not mean you were wrong, it just means that the secondary influencing factors made the outcome different from what you were expecting.
So take a step back and reevaluate your assumptions and you might learn something new. If your assumptions are still positive, keep working on it and the outcome will turn out to be positive. it might just take few more attempts. People sometimes call this Luck or hand of god etc. So keep that light lighted and don't let it go. Things will eventually happen. In past it was called a prophecy . So its  a prophecy that you will SUCCEED . Don't let those positive thoughts die. Keep working on it. You are bound to get the results.
