Despite the way it feels, losing weight is not a mysterious process. It is a simple matter of burning more calories than you eat. But, if it were really that simple, none of us would have a weight problem, would we? Weight loss can be such a struggle that we start thinking we have to do something drastic to see results, diets, pills or those weird fitness gadgets on infomercials that promise instant success. The true secret to weight loss is this. Make small changes each and every day and you will slowly but surely lose those extra pounds. The key is to forget about instant results and settle in for the long run.

To lose one pound of fat, you must burn approximately 3500 calories over and above what you already burn doing daily activities. That sounds like a lot of calories and you certainly wouldn't want to try to burn 3500 calories in one day. However, by taking it step-by-step, you can determine just what you need to do each day to burn or cut out those extra calories. Below is a step by step process for getting started.

1. Calculate your BMR basal metabolic rate. Your BMR is what your body needs to maintain normal functions like breathing and digestion. This is the minimum number of calories you need to eat each day. Keep in mind that no calculator will be 100% accurate, so you may need to adjust these numbers as you go along.

2. Calculate your activity level. Use a calorie calculator to figure out how many calories you burn while sitting, standing, exercising, lifting weights, etc. throughout the day. It helps to keep a daily activity journal or you could even wear a heart rate monitor that calculates calories burned.

3. Keep track of how many calories you eat. You can use a site like Calorie Count or use a food journal to write down what you eat and drink each day. Be as accurate as possible, measuring when you need to or looking up nutritional information for restaurants, if you eat out.

4. Add it up. Take your BMR number, add your activity calories and then subtract your food calories from that total. If you're eating more than you are burning, (your BMR + activity is 2000 and you're eating 2400 calories) you'll gain weight. If you are burning more than you eat, you will lose weight.

Would you stick to a fat loss diet for 90 Days if you could take something that safely increased your energy, reduced your cravings for sweets and carbohydrates, and helped you feel satisfied between meals?

How about stick to this same fat loss diet if, at the end of the three months, you knew you could be awarded a $5,000 check? How about this: would you stick to the same fat loss diet for 90 additional days if you knew you would be eligible to win $15,000?

Then you are a perfect candidate for the Get Slim Challenge! Just like Bios Life Slim, it is easy to take part in the contest. Simply register online, provide your weight and measurements, attach two photos, and start drinking Slim! Contestants are judged by their total body transformation, percentage of weight loss, inches lost, and by the story of their weight loss journey. Weight loss is faster and more effective if you can bring a friend along. Starting in 2010, Get Slim Challenge competitors can join as a team.
