WEIGHT
Diet Tips
FIT is not a destination, it’s a WAY of life..
Anything worth while requires time and commitment. Making health & fitness a consistent part of your everyday is a lifestyle choice. There are no quick fixes. There are no magic pills. It’s a conscious decision to get, and remain healthy, for the rest of your life. To avoid disease. To live longer. To feel and look good. To have more confidence. Not just for the summer. Not just for that upcoming wedding. For the rest of your life..Timing matters. Eat every 3 hours.
As a rule of thumb, we should be eating a balanced meal every three hours. This can vary slightly based on your metabolism. Those with a slower metabolism might be satisfied longer than those with a faster metabolism. Time between meals should not exceed four hours. When we eat a balanced meal every three hours, our body continues burning fuel and running smoothly. We maintain a healthy blood sugar ratio, without spikes in either direction. We feed our muscles with protein and nutrients. Our cognitive abilities remain on point if our brain is consistently fed with the nutrients it requires. All systems are running harmoniously. Use the mirror, Not the scale.. Most people will read this and continue weighing themselves obsessively. The problem with constantly weighing yourself is that it’s not an accurate way to determine your BMI. Muscle weighs more than fat. So during a fitness program, as you lose body fat, you gain muscle. You can be healthy and in shape at 185. You can also be unhealthy and out of shape at the same weight. It all depends on your lean tissue to fat ratio (BMI), not the number on the scale. Water weight also needs to be considered, especially if you’re a woman. A mirror is a great way to track results and progress. Taking before, during, and after photos is the best way to see the results. If you absolutely must weigh yourself, try to limit it to once a week.
Try this instead..
Evaporated Milk Instead of using an unhealthy coffee creamer.. try using evaporated milk in your coffee instead. It’s rich & creamy, without all the preservatives, corn syrup, refined sugars, and hydrogenated oil.
Liquid Calories..
ARE THE ENEMY!
Just one can of soda has 10 packets of sugar. If you drink one can a day, thats 70 packets of sugar per week. By the end of a month you’ve consumed 310 packets of sugar. Thats equivalent to roughly two pounds of sugar.
