If You're Serious About Losing Weight, Then Get..
If you want to lose weight, you must eat the right foods. There’s about a million different healthy cook books and recipes out there readily accessible for your reading pleasure and consumption. I highly encourage taking full advantage of these books and recipes ONLY if you will honestly prepare and cook these foods.
They do take time and effort and if that’s not your thing, don’t use them. The only meal my girlfriend Kristen and I cook at the house is typically dinner, which we keep fairly simple. No one knows your schedule, what works, what you like, and don’t like better than you do so listen to that and make plans based on that.
There’s no use, not to mention it’s often unsuccessful, trying to reinvent your preference wheel. We often mistaken low-fat or low calorie foods as being good for us…. Just because a nutrition bar or snack has “just 100 calories” doesn’t mean it’s healthy or good for you. Just because a certain food item says “low-fat”, again, it doesn’t mean it’s healthy or good for you.
Yes, they’re both better choices than eating a burger & fries, it still doesn’t mean it’s healthy, good for you, or helping you to lose weight. Low calorie & low fat does not mean it’s healthy or good for you. Any time you’re about to eat something, whatever it may be… ask yourself what nutritional value that particular food you’re about to eat is providing you with. It may be low calorie or low fat, but is it providing you with a good source of fiber, calcium, vitamin B, or protein?
This is what matters, the nutritional values you’re receiving from the foods and not whether or not it’s low calorie or low fat. For example, foods that are high in protein are essential not just for weight loss, but for overall health and wellness. Click here for a list of protein foods. In order to lose weight, you must nourish your body with nourishing foods. Somewhere along the way, the misconception of fruit being bad for us because of its sugar content was created.
I assure you that between eating an apple or a 100 calorie healthy brownie snack, the apple will win out every single time. As with all other foods, just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean we don’t moderate how much of it we eat in one sitting. All in moderation, even the healthy stuff. Whenever we settle for foods that are pre-packaged, processed, and already prepared for us, we run the risk of losing out on the nutritional value so important and necessary to support weight loss.
Eating as close as possible to a foods natural state will always deliver us the best nutritional value possible and support our weight loss efforts. What Is Meant By A Foods Natural State? Foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, eggs, and nuts are all examples of foods that are as close to their natural state as possible.
Foods that have not been prepared for you already, pre-packaged, processed, or even frozen. Whenever this happens, these foods unfortunately lose lots of their nutritional and nourishing elements that our bodies need in order to support weight loss. Where I am most guilty of not following these guidelines is when it comes to protein shakes and protein bars.
Both are processed and packaged although due to their high levels of protein necessary for overall heath, nutrition, weight loss, I support them both and recommend their consumption. Here’s an example plan I have created in the past for several of my clients who were looking to lose weight. All of them successfully did lose weight by following a plan similar in structure to this.
If your goal is to lose weight and you’re a creature of habit like I am, follow this exact one-day plan for 30 days and you will be astounded by the results you will see. 12:30PM - Homemade Salad w/ All The Vegetables You Want, Oil & Vinegar, & A Piece Of Fish Or Chicken. I’ve been training and working with clients for 15 years now, many of them with weight lose goals.
Some have succeeded in doing so, and there are some that unfortunately have not. As standard practice, I always look back and reflect on what worked and what didn’t and every single time I do this, the results, the details, the stats are always the same. Regardless of age, gender, weight lose goal, it didn’t matter. Which of these two categories do you want to be in? If you do this, you will lose the weight you want to lose. Give it time, give it effort, and you will.
The great thing about meal replacements for weight loss is you can lose as much weight as you want. Unlike many diets that are for 21 days, 30 days, 90 days or whatever, you can replace one or two meals a day for as long as it takes you to get to your target weight. You can expect to lose 1-2 lbs.
