Daily Calories??

Last night I met with an old friend who is a registered dietian. She said something that I thought was extremely intersting nad I thought many would find it also interesting. she said tht many people who are athletic or active & try to lose weight get extremely frustrated becasue they tend to place higher goals upon themselves. She said this is particularly true for peole who are competitive!! I told her how frequently diet & losing weight comes up on this forum. She said that many of the swimmers she works with are exceptionally hard on themselves because they tend to be so accuostumed to performing up to goals set by other people (coaches, team mates, etc.). She also poointed out that swimmign is not necessarily as good as running with burning fat & to go very slowly. She wished you good luck. She also recommended that you contact a dietian to get advice. Many hospitals, she said, have outreach programs and many dietians woudl talk & help you because they are so excited about the subject.
