Weight Loss

An Arsenal of Tools and Techniques

To fight fat you need the right weapons. I have created this series of posts on my arsenal: the tools and techniques that have helped me lose fat and keep it at bay.

My 8 Year Old Tanita TBF-621 The first tool you will need is a scale for your body. I have a Tanita Body Fat Percentage Scale, which has proven itself to be a trusty and essential aid in my weight loss.
food_diary_spreadsheet I cannot recommend enough that those who want to lose weight should be Keeping a Food Journal. It is probably the single most effective way to lose weight and keep it off.
My doubly and triply redundant set of measuring cups and spoons. Whatever diet plan you follow, if you will only begin Weighing and Measuring your Food, your efforts at weight loss will be far more successful.
USDA Nutrient Database You can write it all down, you can weigh it and measure it, but how do you know what’s in it? Answer: you look up the Nutritional Information, a key skill for all successful dieters.
