This is always tough to admit, but nutrition is more
important than your workouts when it comes to fat loss.
And since diet is more important than exercise, I've decided to
spend a lot time sharing nutrition tips this week, starting with
these 5 fat loss tip's:
1) Your nutrition program doesn't have to be extreme to be
successful at fat loss.
You don't need to make any
extreme diet changes. But make sure the nutrition plan you've chosen is
sustainable. Simple diet changes go a lot farther than you
might think. Why not just eat more whole, natural foods rather
than trying to go on an impossible-to-stick-to ultra-low carb
extreme fat loss plan?
2) Get the junk food out of
your house.
If it's in your house, you'll eat it...and trust me, this goes for
all the personal trainer's you see too. When I visit a
relative's house for a holiday, I always eat the
treats they have sitting around. That's why I keep the junk out
of my house. So whatever your weakness is, keep it out of your home. Fat loss
success is that simple.
3) Fill in the "diet-killing" gap.
For some folks, the thing that kills the diet is the time between work and
dinner. For others, it's between dinner and bedtime, but for
almost everyone, there is a point in the day when we suffer
from mindless eating. So
make sure you have alternatives...as soon as you come home from work, cut up vegetables and dip them into hummus. That will keep
you full on a small amount of calories. After dinner, if you need something sweet, stir up chocolate
protein powder into a small bit of plain yogurt.
That should satisfy you.
4) Chew your food between 5-10 times before
swallowing.
Most people eat so fast they only chew about 1-2 times. You'll
really notice a difference in your fat loss and you'll slow
your eating so you feel fuller.
5) Have a bowl of broth-based vegetable soup before a
meal.
American researcher Barbara Roll has published a lot of
studies showing that this will help you reduce the food you
eat. Surprisingly, consuming just water doesn't seem to do the
same trick.
So those are just 5 of the diet secrets we have for you this
year. Stay tuned for proven secrets to help you lose fat in
2010.
