You may be wondering, probably because we’ve already been asked, what diet plan we are endorsing here at the Pool.
The answer: none.
With so many participants, quite frankly, how would we ever know what diet type works for each person?
We don’t care if you do Weight Watchers, SlimFast, South Beach, Atkins, The Zone, low cal, low carb, low fat or you're having Nutrisystem delivered. Not the same diet plan works for everyone. Obviously, or we’d all do the same “plan”. We will always encourage healthy eating. We will always encourage you to drink your water. We will always encourage you to eat a balanced diet.
• Fact: No diet, no matter how well designed, can cover 100% of your daily requirements for every nutrient, every day
In a nutshell, today’s first thought is that we want you to think about your health first and foremost. To that end, let’s all get a multivitamin and make sure we take it every day. You don’t have to get anything expensive or fancy, you can find any variety of brands at your local discount or drugstore. Let’s fill in those nutritional gaps and make sure we are getting our daily requirements every single day.
Our second thought for today, many diet fads have come and gone. But not matter what kind of diet is current and popular, there will be one irrefutable fact that remains.
• Fact: 3,500 calories equals one pound.
So, if you consume 3,500 more calories than you burn, you will GAIN a pound. If you burn 3,500 calories more than you eat, you will LOSE a pound.
This is not a complex or difficult concept to grasp. This is not going to come in a miracle pill or shake.
Eat less, move more. We’ve already been saying it. But sometimes, especially you stubborn ones, and those of us who have our lazy days, it takes a while for this to sink in.
So, maybe your diet approach has been flawed in the past and needs tweaking. Perhaps you have been so caught up in the fads and charismatic people making promises about your weight that were too good to be true.
This is the time to get back to the basics. No matter what diet plan you are working, 3,500 is always going to equal one pound. It’s up to you whether it’s going to be a pound you lose or gain.

Oh goody, we had our first spammer. It's official, we've "made it".
"So, if you consume 3,500 more calories than you burn, you will GAIN a pound. If you burn 3,500 calories more than you eat, you will LOSE a pound.
To expand upon that you can go here and find out an approximate number of calories your body needs to MAINTAIN it's current weight. If you take in less than that your body will start to consume the fat already present. If you eat 500 less then your requirement you will lose a pound in 7 days. (this is of course approximate) Because you will have eaten 3500 less calories.
Thanks for the info!
And no spam! It's not healthy. LOL
