Topic of the Month: Burning Calories!

"If you are maintaining your current body weight, you are in caloric balance... Each person's body is unique and may have different caloric needs. A healthy lifestyle requires balance, in the foods you eat, in the beverages you consume, in the way you carry out your daily activities, and in the amount of physical activity or exercise you include in your daily routine. While counting calories is not necessary, it may help you in the beginning to gain an awareness of your eating habits as you strive to achieve energy balance.  The ultimate test of balance is whether or not you are gaining, maintaining, or losing weight."
