You need to know these numbers if you are serious about burning fat:
Calories - Multiply your goal weight by 10 = Total calories per day (Example: Your goal weight is 120 pounds; 120 x 10 = 1200 calories per day)
Carbohydrates need to be kept at 100 grams or less per day to lose weight and reduce body fat.
Fat - Eat less than 20 grams per day to lose weight and body fat!
Sodium - Less than 2,300 mg per day. Remember: Carrying an extra 400 milligrams of sodium in your body leads to 2 pounds of water weight gain.
Sugar - 10 percent of calorie intake
Protein - will try at 60 -70 grams per day** (still doing research on this one)

Note to Self:
Sodium Recommendations
Adults younger than 51 years should consume a maximum of
2,300 milligrams of sodium per day
, according to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Older adults should limit themselves to 1,500 milligrams or less. Considering the average American eats 3,400 milligrams a day, there's a good chance you need to cut back. Reduce sodium consumption by steering clear of packaged and processed foods, reaching instead for whole, natural products. Instead of sprinkling your plate with table salt, opt for pepper, curry powder and other spices.
Sodium and Weight
Carrying an extra 400 milligrams of sodium in your body leads to 2 pounds of water weight gain. This is temporary; you'll expel the water once sodium levels normalize. However, excess sodium also leads to increased thirst. If you reach for sugary or alcoholic beverages such as soda, juice or beer to quench your throat, you could drink enough calories to cause lasting weight gain. Water is typically the best beverage choice for dieters, no matter what your sodium intake.
Note to Self:
Need to have 50 to 100 carbs a day for weightloss
300 or more grams/day - Danger Zone!
Easy to reach with the “normal” American diet (cereals, pasta, rice, bread, waffles, pancakes, muffins, soft drinks, packaged snacks, sweets, desserts). High risk of excess fat storage, inflammation, increased disease markers including Metabolic Syndrome or diabetes. Sharp reduction of grains and other processed carbs is critical unless you are on the “chronic cardio” treadmill (which has its own major drawbacks).
150-300 grams/day – Steady, Insidious Weight Gain
Continued higher insulin-stimulating effect prevents efficient fat burning and contributes to widespread chronic disease conditions. This range – irresponsibly recommended by the USDA and other diet authorities – can lead to the statistical US average gain of 1.5 pounds of fat per year for forty years.
100-150 grams/day – Primal Blueprint Maintenance Range
This range based on body weight and activity level. When combined with Primal exercises, allows for genetically optimal fat burning and muscle development. Range derived from Grok’s (ancestors’) example of enjoying abundant vegetables and fruits and avoiding grains and sugars.
50-100 grams/day – Primal Sweet Spot for Effortless Weight Loss
Minimizes insulin production and ramps up fat metabolism. By meeting average daily protein requirements (.7 – 1 gram per pound of lean bodyweight formula), eating nutritious vegetables and fruits (easy to stay in 50-100 gram range, even with generous servings), and staying satisfied with delicious high fat foods (meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds), you can lose one to two pounds of body fat per week and then keep it off forever by eating in the maintenance range.
0-50 grams/day – Ketosis and Accelerated Fat Burning
Acceptable for a day or two of Intermittent Fasting towards aggressive weight loss efforts, provided adequate protein, fat and supplements are consumed otherwise. May be ideal for many diabetics. Not necessarily recommended as a long-term practice for otherwise healthy people due to resultant deprivation of high nutrient value vegetables and fruits.

Since moving to the U.S. I have gone from 122-128 range weight to over 200 lbs. At first I thought it was my thyroid since the Dr. here didn't not agree with my former country dosage. Even though my weight gain was very rapid after this change, almost 10 lbs a month, Dr simply been tweaking it for the last 7 years. Then of course there is stress of change I am told and by now age. I don't understand and feel out of control. The only time I had weight issues were after my two pregnancies which took me over two years to loose both times. Even after being diagnose with hyperthyroid at 26 years of age-undergoing nuclear medicine to bring it back down-subsequently leaving me to be hypothyroid and later having my second child- I was able to loose it after a protein powder diet. Achieving my goal and previous weight was reasonably easy.I was able to maintained it for 8 years until I moved the U.S.A. So I tried, NutriSystem, protein shakes, slim fast. Slim Fast as help me a little but recently regained 29lbs I had lost in the last two years. ( took me so long to loose so little only to gain it back is causing so much stress) I am not sure what to do anymore. I have been a vegetarian since I was 27 making protein diet more difficult now. I also have been diagnose with agoraphobia which also makes it difficult to go to the YMCA where I do have a membership.
