How to give your lifestyle change
a running start with BodyByte
BodyByte is a VERY easy weight-loss software program
to use. But don't be fooled, it is also very powerful. It has been designed to have
the look and feel of a web page, even though it is a fully independent standalone
Windows program. So if you're used to web surfing, no problem. If not, each program
page contains full instructions on how to proceed. If you can read, you can use BodyByte.
And,
BodyByte is lightning fast. If you had to perform the same complex functions on an
Internet-based online program, you'd be sitting around waiting endlessly while BodyByte
will have crunched away in fractions of seconds.
To get a running start with using
BodyByte, the following steps will probably be the way for most to go. Remember,
you decide how much detail you wish to control in your lifestyle management. If you
only want to manage your exercise programme and nothing else, just skip the nutrition
parts, and vice versa. Here are the steps...
- Download BodyByte
Download your country edition and version type of the BodyByte install file, which is free. Then run the install file to install BodyByte on your computer. The installation is complete but not activated - everything works except saving and printing, which are locked. - Activate BodyByte
Just follow the instructions for FULLY SECURE online activation when you start BodyByte. For all country editions of the BodyByte Free version activation is FREE. Activation is also ONCE-OFF, and your installation will remain activated without any expiry date or time limitation. After processing your activation request, you are immediately issued with your computer-specific Activation Code. Enter your Activation Code and BodyByte is activated and ready to roll. - Create your user file
Start BodyByte and create a user file for yourself. This is the first step in starting to actively use the program. BodyByte allows an unlimited number of user files, so all members of your family can use the same installation if they want. - Fill out your User Profile
Your User Profile contains all the information about yourself and your body which you intend keeping record of. You can specify body parameters such as your age, gender, body height, body weight, body fat percentage, up to 10 different body measurements, blood pressure, heart rate, serum cholesterol and blood glucose. In addition, you can keep track of up to 16 different fitness parameters in 8 fitness categories. You don't NEED to specify all of these, but remember that the more parameters you keep track of, the more complete the feedback information picture will be, which has an escalating effect on your motivation and diligence. IMPORTANT: If you're on a weight-loss programme DO keep record of as many body measurements as possible as well as body fat percentage, not just your body weight. You will see the value of this when you strike a weight-loss "plateau" at some stage, and the more complete picture will help to keep you motivated and inspired. - Capture your weight-loss plan
Now you can get down to business with your weight-loss programme. Use the tools of the Nutrition module in BodyByte to capture your weight-loss plan from any source (a diet book or magazine, the Internet, your own creation or from a nutrition professional). You can start by locating the food items of your weight-loss plan in the food database and copying them to your customized food list. From there they can be easily arranged into daily meal plans according to the requirements of your weight-loss plan. You can also enter your favorite recipes, capture nutrient info of specialized food items not present in the database, and a lot more. Once your weight-loss plan is captured in the form of daily meal plans, you are good to go. Meal plans can be modified or updated at any time. You can also import ready-made meal plans created by other BodyByte users into your user file. - Capture your exercise plan
You can also get going with your fitness programme by capturing your exercise schedule. Use the tools of the Exercise Planner in BodyByte to capture your exercise plan from any source (a fitness book or magazine, the Internet, your own creation or from your fitness professional). The Exercise Planner makes it easy to create and print out your exercise schedule, which can be taken with you to the gym or track. You will often see dedicated sports people with their notes when they train, and they do this for good reason: a printed guide provides focus and structure to the exercise session, and contributes hugely to your sense of achievement and subsequent diligence. Try it - you will be pleasantly surprised! Exercise plans can also be imported into your user file from other BodyByte users. - Start recording your history
With BodyByte you can record your body condition (body state) history, your food intake history as well as exercise history. If you wish to lose weight, a very good point of departure is to start doing food intake recording straight away, even before officially embarking on your weight-loss programme. This will reveal much about your current eating pattern, and for most will turn out to be quite an education. To make the recording process quick and easy, spend the time to find all your regularly consumed food items and recipes in the food database and copy them to your customized food list. Once they are all grouped together in one place they are easier to locate, and the recording process becomes a triviality. Also record changes in your body state regularly, at least once a week. - Evaluate your recorded history
Once you have accumulated some recorded history, you can start examining the data. The History module in BodyByte makes it easy to retrieve the records and display the results in graphs, tables, etc. You can see very quickly in which direction you are heading, and make informed (rather than haphazard) decisions about the way forward. This enables you to constantly revise and adjust your plan, and also provides an excellent platform to experiment with new ideas. The History module is particularly adept at calculating your own, personal daily energy threshold. The importance of this number is such that we dedicate the entire next step to it. - Calculate your personal daily energy threshold
The daily energy threshold (DET for short) is probably the most important parameter to know if you want to lose weight. If you have a DET of 3000 calories a day, for instance, it means that if you consistently consume more than this number per day, you will gain weight, and if you consume less, you will lose weight. Many programs and gadgets attempt to calculate your body's energy burn rate in order to determine your energy intake for weight loss, but the sad fact is that none of them are nearly accurate enough to really be useful. BodyByte is the only program we know of to have devised and implemented this method of empirical calculation of your DET, and it is as accurate as the diligence with which you record food intake and body weight. If you know your DET, you are empowered to set your own pace for losing weight, and you can really start experimenting with all sorts of lifestyle adjustments to see which will work best for you. No two people are the same - why should you be satisfied with some generalized guesstimate number to base your entire weight-loss plan on? - Refine and fine-tune your lifestyle programme
With all the feedback information BodyByte generates, you are placed in a powerful position to control your life and lifestyle. Experimental results have indicated that by losing weight, your DET will generally increase. Introducing more physical activity will also raise your DET. And that is universally what most of us are striving for - to be able to eat as much as we can without gaining body fat. - Cement your lifestyle change
BodyByte is a very powerful educator, and using it is NOT a life-sentence. Your instinctive knowledge about food nutrient content becomes sharpened up tremendously while using BodyByte, and you will find that you start developing a much better "feel" for foods as time goes by. Once you start reaching your goals, this "cemented" knowledge is generally enough to carry you through without necessarily continuing with something like intake recording for long periods of time (even though intake recording with BodyByte is so easy that this does not really matter). Some have found that they need to sporadically intervene with BodyByte, just to get back on track after calorie-disastrous holidays. Whatever your lifestyle requirements, BodyByte can do the organizing and information management for you, keeping you in the driving seat.
