Eat rightIf you consistently eat the wrong food, then your weight loss efforts will all be in vain. To put it bluntly, stop eating junk.Processed foods, refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup do not belong in your diet, if you want to be in great shape. Replace them with real whole foods like lean meats, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and fruits.
- Donít eat processed foods. They contain tons of chemicals and empty calories that will make you sick and fat.
- Fat contains twice the caloric density of protein and carbohydrates, so make sure to limit the amount that you consume. Eat lots of lean proteins and wholesome carbohydrates from plants and whole grains.
- Vegetables, whole grains, fruits, nuts and seeds are filled with fiber and antioxidants, which are vital for healthy weight loss. Snack on these instead of packaged treats.
Write and reviewYou could be making a valiant effort to lose fat, but if you eat too much each day then the number on your scale will not budge. Even if you think youíre limiting calories, you wonít know unless you do a little research.Get a small notebook to carry with you and jot down everything you eat for an entire week. Be sure to include the exact amount that you eat of each food item. At the end of the week tally the amount each day and figure out how many calories you eat on an average day.Review your daily entries for items filled with empty calories like cookies, candy or soda pop. These should be the first things you cut out of your diet as you transform your body. Be patient. Remind yourself that it took time to put the weight on, so it will take time to lose the weight.Call David for more information on programs at Perfect Fit Wellness Center: 719-331-3352 or visit the website at http://perfectfitwc.com
