Five
immediate measures to start losing weight.
1)
Rotate your foods
The
pressure of big business marketing, the addiction of grains in combination
to our hectic lifestyles has lead us to rely on wheat as our main
food source. Very often it is eaten for breakfast (most cereals),
for lunch (bread) and for dinner (pasta). Remember the key fact
to nutrition, there is no one food that is good for all
of us.
It
is plain for me to see that wheat is destroying the health of many
people and making them fat, unhealthy and worst of all unhappy.
The best way to know if wheat is impacting your body badly is start
rotating it amongst other food groups so it is reduced within your
diet.
Apply
this concept to any other foods or general types of food you feel
you consume too much in your diet. Look to try other veg, grains,
legumes, protein etc than you would normally consume.
2)
Have protein, carbohydrate and fat at each meal.
A
key to metabolic typing is effectively
utilizing the energy from foods at cellular level. To do this you
must consume protein, carbohydrates and fat at each meal The type
of each or the amounts of each is unique to your metabolic type
so I cannot give any recommendations without knowing this but try
tune into your body. If you feel hungry within an hour of eating
or notice a drop in energy you have miscalculated one of your portions
of protein, carbs or fat.
3)
Start walking
The
most underrated exercise of them all. To those who don't exercise
this key component can make a huge impact. It is easy to give up
walking these days. Drive here, drive there, take the escalator,
get a bus. Stop and think of ways to introduce walking into your
life once again.
4)
Avoid the foods you crave
So
many of the people I work with say to me how they follow their food
cravings as they feel the body must know what it needs. This is
true to a point, but sadly the worse you eat the less accurate your
cravings become. If your metabolic
type is one that requires more protein and fat and less carbohydrate
and you are eating a typical modern day diet your cravings for bread,
porridge and the like are a signal from not receiving enough protein
and fat. To listen to your body would be lunacy and a sure fire
way to bad health and storing body fat
5)
Examine your eating habits
Many
people eat a 'healthy' diet. It is obvious to me and every client
I worked with that what is conventionally healthy is for some metabolic
types may be very unhealthy for them. However, putting this aside
there are many patterns where your eating may go seriously awry
from eating 'healthy' natural foods. Look to examine when this is
and more importantly devise a plan to counter act it. Only takes
a minute or two to do. Do it now!
