Lesson 5 – Healthy Eating And Weight Loss
I hate the phrase, “going on a diet,” it’s over used and misleading. It implies that the change in eating habits that come with “going on a diet,” will end once the goal has been achieved. Which means the weight goes straight back on within a few weeks of “coming off the diet”.
Instead, think in terms of making a lifestyle change, a change to healthy eating and living. Complete changes to the foods you eat for the rest of your life.
“Habits make people and people make habits – Change your habits, change your life”
You don’t have to give up and stop eating every single food that you love. Instead change your thinking and your mindset, so that you reward yourself once in a while with them. It’s all about moderation.
Eating a healthy, nutritious diet is THE BIGGEST COMPONENT to long term consistent weight loss!
There are a few essential things that you can do immediately to improve your eating habits. Spend some time studying the material below, implement the information into your daily routine, make them become habits and you’ll quickly see improved results.
If you want to burn body fat, you’re going to need a diet that is full of fruits and vegetables, and low in sugars and fats. If you think you are going to lose weight and burn fat fast by eating burgers, candy or drinking soda, I’ve some bad news for you – it won’t work.
The key areas I’m going to focus on in this lesson are:
You’ve got to change your lifestyle, and that doesn’t mean going on a short term diet – it’s a long term commitment to better health and a great body that you’ll love.
Here are some other things to consider as you develop your new healthy eating plan:
Eat Slower: Chew your food properly and thoroughly, don’t stuff it down your throat. Eating slower and chewing properly will also help kick start your metabolism, and aid digestion. You’ll also start feeling full earlier, so you can stop eating sooner.
Control Your Portion Size: You can easily control how much food you eat by eating smaller portions at meal times. Don’t pile your plate high and use smaller plates to help you control the size of portions.
Eat 6 Times/Day: 3 main meals is good, but if you can, cut their size and split your eating into 6 smaller meals spread out evenly through the day. This will keep your metabolism firing on all cylinders and help you keep burning fat for longer.
Kill The Ready Meals: Stop reaching into the fridge or freezer for pre-prepared ready meals and frozen dinners. Start preparing your own food yourself – if you can read, you can follow a recipe. Doing this will mean you know exactly what’s gone into your food, and will encourage and reinforce healthy eating and weight loss.
Speak to your doctor: Your doctor will help you calculate what your daily calorie intake should be, based on your weight, height and goals.
These are just a few ideas to help you on your quest to burn more fat and lose weight. When you think in terms of changing your lifestyle rather than going on a diet, you’ll be able to lose weight consistently over the long term.
Side Note: Tom Venuto’s Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle eBook is an excellent read if you want to burn fat and lose weight consistently, over a long period of time.
All your workouts will become more and more productive and beneficial, you’ll get more out of everything you do. You’ll also improve your overall health, reducing the risks of being overweight, such as diabetes and heart disease – you could add years to your life.
If you get yourself some great healthy recipes, you won’t miss the old food you used to love, it’ll be in the past, and as night follows day, the new you will soon stride out, confident, self assured and happy.
