I know for a fact that this is a good way to keep your metabolism revving.  &#8220;You have to eat to lose.&#8221; &#8220;That was something that I never quite wrapped my head around before,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I thought when you&#8217;re hungry that means you&#8217;re losing weight. But that&#8217;s not the case. You need to keep your body fueled to continually lose and to have the energy to work out and perpetuate the cycle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jaron Tate who lost 160 pounds says &#8220;Know how many calories your body needs and how many calories you&#8217;re actually stuffing into your mouth,&#8221; says Tate, who now eats 1,800 to 2,000 calories per day. &#8220;A quarter-pounder with cheese is 850 calories. A large apple [which weighs about the same] is 100. And if you&#8217;re having a salad, put salsa on it instead of ranch.&#8221; Two tablespoons of ranch dressing: 220 calories. Salsa: 20.<\/p>\n<p>Ginnie Borque, lost 114 pounds says you should make a lot of changes in your life- &#8220;I do a lot of little things,&#8221; says Borque, one of the 36 Biggest Loser at Home dieters. &#8220;I don&#8217;t like coffee without sugar and cream, so I switched to tea. I started carrying water bottles wherever I go, traded cocktails for Diet Coke, and I fill up on broccoli instead of French fries. Oh, I also tried to make working out a social event. It&#8217;s a lot harder to skip a workout when you&#8217;ve scheduled it with a friend!&#8221;<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>Activity is important to Ken Coleman, who lost 161 pounds he says &#8220;Even now that the show&#8217;s over, I still work out six to seven days a week, three hours a day,&#8221; Coleman says. Of course, you don&#8217;t have to become a gym rat to slim down. But, as Coleman explains, you do need to increase your activity in as many ways as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Wiley, lost 129 pounds, says lose the excuses too- &#8220;&#8216;Oh, I have back problems, work [to do] or I don&#8217;t have enough time.&#8217; [Making] excuses: that&#8217;s what&#8217;s always held me back,&#8221; Wiley says. &#8220;If you&#8217;re short on time, do something to get your heart rate up. One morning I had a flight to catch, and I didn&#8217;t have time to go to the gym. So I ran the stairs in my building. It&#8217;s eight flights, and I did it about 20 times!&#8221;<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>Coupling carbs and protien helped Jennifer Eisenbarth, lost 100 pounds It&#8217;s one of the biggest lessons the plus-size model learned during her only week on the ranch. &#8220;Whenever you eat a carb, always eat a protein with it because protein helps your body process carbs more efficiently,&#8221; she says. &#8220;For example, &#8220;I love-love-love hummus. So I put it on egg whites.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"0ef8bfa44cafabceb297ac3097736deb\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* Celebrity_inpost_300x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"1568606040\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script> <br\/>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nch_client = \"dragonden\";\r\nch_width = 550;\r\nch_height = 250;\r\nch_type = \"mpu\";\r\nch_sid = \"celebrityscoop_betweenposts2\";\r\nch_color_site_link = \"#816689\";\r\nch_color_title = \"#816689\";\r\nch_color_border = \"#FFFFFF\";\r\nch_color_text = \"#212121\";\r\nch_color_bg = \"#FFFFFF\";\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script src=\"http:\/\/scripts.chitika.net\/eminimalls\/amm.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<br\/>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TvGuide online has written up an article that details how the contestants on the Biggest losers lost all that weight.
