I thinks it’s a forgone conclusion that many of us will overeat during the holiday season – but after the holidays end, we then have to pick up the pieces and get back to reality.

Most new years resolutions include some form of weight loss or exercise regime, so here’s some high tech weight loss tips to help get you started.

Losing weight is simply about doing the math. You must be burning off more calories than you consume – nothing earth shattering there! In order to lose one pound of excess fat, you need to consume 3500 calories fewer than your body needs. 3500 calories can be quite a lot of food, so a weight loss goal of 1 or 2 pounds a week is easily achievable and ideal.

The best to lose weight is to burn off these 3500 calories through a combination of exercise and reduce food intake. One hour of walking burns off between 300 and 400 calories, so if you can exercise for 30 minutes a day and reduce your calorie intake by 500 calories a day, that’s the equivalent of about 6000 calories a week, or close to 2 pounds weight loss.

A great tool I found to help you determine which exercises you want to perform is the Physical Activity Selector. Another of my weight loss tips is to keep a nutrition diary. This means you should write down everything you eat every day, and use this handy online calorie calculator to see how many calories you are eating each day.
