Carb Calculator

I`m looking for a carbohydrates calculator and a calorie counter. I`m 5 ft 6 in, 194 lbs, and I`ve decided to start a diet and improve my lifestyle. I could use some ideas for a good diet for starters. This would be the first time when I`m trying to follow a diet and I`d love to hear your opinions. Any tips? By the way, what`s the yo-yo effect?

The yo-yo effect shows up when you follow a diet, lose weight, put the weight back on, and this happens for several times in a row. In order to avoid the yo-yo effect, stay away from fad diets! You need to avoid those types of diets that promise you wonder-weight-loss in a short period of time. As they say, "easy comes, easy goes" – and this works both ways! I think you should see a dietitian first of all.
