Stop Dieting! Don't You Get It!

It is time to get healthy and start accomplishing your fitness goals. Weight loss starts with a healthy diet. We discussed the importance of eating 5-6 meals yesterday. It now time to talk about what needs to be in those meals. When you are trying to lose weight it is important to limit your caloric intake and make sure when you are taking in calories they help you accomplish the goal of maintaining lean muscle mass and decreasing body fat.

I want to emphasize one point really clearly before we go on. When you take in to many calories in one meal your body will store the excess as fat. You have two to three hours where your body uses the calories that you eat and then it is ready for more food to process or has stored the excess that you eat depending on the amount you eat. Stocking the fires every two to three hours keeps your metabolism running high all day long.

Alright now what to eat and when. We will expand on this in the coming days, but the basic is to eat a balanced diet of carbs, protein, and fat for breakfast. For lunch do the same. Dinner you are going to only eat veggies, protein, and fat. As the day goes along you are going to decrease the amount of carbs you take in. Carbs are generally unsatisfying and are quickly burned or stored. Morning is a great time to eat them because you are generally active and need the energy to get the day started. Snacks which should be eaten two to three times a day should be fruit eaten all by itself in the morning. Snacks in the afternoon and evening should consist of primarily protein and fat.

Again if you can't control your cravings you probably need to eat more fiber and protein. Also, using a appetite suppressant can be a great benefit. Check it out at:http://www.orovo.com/personalwealth
