Last week we put out a call for questions. This week, we’ve been answering them. Here are two more…

Question 1:

Ok, question – Where can I find a table that tells me (according to height and weight), how many calories I should have each day?  If I wanted to lose 10 pounds in 2 months,  how many calories will I need to cut out to attain this goal?

In Chapter 8 – Doing S.P.E.E.D. we provide step-by-step instructions to help you figure out your caloric needs, for weight maintenance and for weight loss. The formula we use requires your height, weight and age.

We’ve also developed this page to make calorie calculations easier for you:

Good luck!

Question 2:

If you’re someone who has a lot of weight to lose, about 65 lbs, what is the best way of going about it and what would be some suggestions?

This isn’t an easy question to answer on a blog. It’s a huge question. So huge that Jeff and I wrote 8 chapters worth of information on it. My first recommendation is this; if you have 65 lbs. to lose, spend $20 and get our book. If you don’t feel it’s worth $20 after you read it, we’ll refund your money.

If you don’t think you’ll like our book, a new diet book just came out this week, written by some of the researches we’ve referenced in S.P.E.E.D. It’s called New Atkins for a New You. Check it out.

If you can’t part with a single dollar (we understand times are tough), here are my no-cost recommendations:

Eat less. It’s that simple. Reduce your calories, eat whole foods and weight loss will happen.

Move more. Yup, exercise. Nothing earth-shattering.

Set goals. If you don’t have goals, you’ll never achieve them.

Oh, and one more. Read this blog. The entire blog. Every entry since we started over a year ago. It’s free

Well, that’s it. See you next time!
