Weight Loss Truths Part 1
Posted on March 20, 2009 12:13PM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
Below are some weight loss truths you may not want to know about your diet and exercise program. Adjust your fitness program accordingly…
1. Food Calories count more. The calories listed on the nutritional information label on the package are “big” Calories (kilocalories), so multiply what you read by 1000. If the package says 150 calories (a typical number for a regular soda) it is really 150,000 calories (with a small “c”).
2. The calories you burn on exercise equipment like a stationary bike are the “small calories” unless it is listed specifically as a food Calorie. This means, unless specified, you are actually burning 1/1000th as many Calories than what is displayed on the equipment.
3. You lose weight in specific areas differently. Some exercise routines promote faster weight loss in the face. Others promote loss faster in the chest area.
4. You don’t need a fancy diet or exercise program to lose and maintain weight – their primary function is to serve as motivation.
5. Calories in (food/beverage consumption) minus calories out (exercise) = weight gain or weight loss. It’s really that simple.

10 Things To Consider When Using Facebook
Posted on March 20, 2009 12:00PM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
I realize this has nothing to do with plastic & cosmetic surgery, but I wanted to share anyway…
1. What is your intention? Connect with friends, business, make new friends, I don’t
know.
2. Google your name. Check your web presence every now and then. You may be
surprised.
3. Security level. You may want to set Facebook privacy levels to friends only to start
with. Keep looking around. There are a lot of security levels for different things.
4. Your timeline. This stuff will be cached somewhere your entire life. A photo of you
putting (8) hotdogs in your mouth while on your head may be hilarious now but not to
your future boss. (See # 2.)
5. Multiple Facebook accounts. One for family, one for friends, one for business vs
Facebook for family, https://www.linkedin.com/ for business and Twitter for social,
or any combination which works for you.
6. Don’t put anything on the internet that you wouldn’t want your mother to read or
watch.
7. Don’t drink and blog 
8. If it is questionable save it and send it tomorrow. Re: read it first.
9. Be Polite. Listen to your friends. Before you add any photo of them you might want to
ask permission.
10. Don’t write too much. Don’t write too little. You figure it out.
11. When on the internet you are at a big social event, you just can’t see everyone, but
they can see you.
