What if you say you don’t have to give up your favorite food to lose weight and be healthy?
After writing this column every other week for a few years, I had a lot of people write in that week’s column after something wiggle with them. It’s really fun to hear from readers as it helps to focus on topics that come to your mind.
Also, at least make sure someone is reading it. My last column on obesity and lifestyle-related diseases seemed to touch the hearts of many readers. And I hope those who feel encouraged will begin taking steps to regain control of your health.
Often people really want to make changes, but they don’t know how to do it. There’s so much information out there that can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t know what to look for or what to avoid.
While we’re working on it, let’s also uncover some myths about getting healthy.
The most common myths I hear are “healthy eating is too expensive”, “very confusing”, and “you have to give up your favorite food”.
Let me tell you first, a) you don’t have to give up all your favorite foods to be healthy and / or to lose weight, b) with the plans you should follow Support when you have a program, it will be very easy and c) not eating a healthy diet is much more expensive in the long run.
Let’s face it, we all have extra “food” in our pantry, cupboards and refrigerators that do nothing to support our health.
Let’s say you stop buying those items and instead spend the money on a healthy Whole Foods option. There are many “food-like substances” that do not help your body, mind, or overall health. After reading this column, it’s a good idea to do a little pantry sweep to see how many items you might have acquired. Believe me, it doesn’t matter how clean you think you are eating, you will always find something, or a bunch of something, you’d better replace it.
Let’s say you clean up and get rid of the annoyances and replace them with healthy Whole Foods options, what is it now? It’s time to learn about PFC (protein, fat, carbohydrate (carbohydrate), or macro).
No matter what you call them, it’s important to learn how to combine your foods in a way that puts your body in homeostasis.
Here are some basics you can do that will have a major impact on your energy, sleep, metabolism and overall health.
1. Have breakfast within about an hour of waking up. Since your blood sugar level is low first thing in the morning, if you make sure that you are consuming protein with these carbohydrates and fats, not only will your blood sugar level and hormones be balanced, but your metabolism will become active and your body will accumulate fat. Is released and burned. energy.
2. Eat a small amount of PFC balanced diet every 3-4 hours throughout the day to turn on metabolism and keep burning fat.
3. Remove inflammatory foods such as gluten, soybeans, dairy products, salt, sugar and alcohol.
4. Drink more water. Women, we need to consume 3-4 liters, 2-3 liters and men per day. And, for reference, a few extra trips to the bathroom mean that the toxins have been washed away, not staying in the system and causing havoc.
5. Do it together. The support system and people’s support for you keeps you accountable and moving forward, even when you don’t like it. Especially at that time.
I can’t tell you the number of clients who came to me saying “I know what I need to do. I just need someone to take responsibility”. It’s a way for crazy trendy diets to gain so much traction. It is also the reason why we have a community of support to keep our plans and programs in line in my FIT nutrition practice.
In fact, when running figures for a group of 500 pilots over a seven-week period, 93% had more energy, 98% had little or no craving, 96% lost an inch, and 98% were easy. Feeling, average weight loss was 14 pounds for 7 weeks — all without a diet.
The Summer Shape Challenge will begin on April 18th with a 21-day reset. Send an email to Tania for more information. [email protected] Or join the 8 Weeks is Allit Takes group on Facebook.
