Eating smarter- losing weight and then keeping it off.

Eating healthier doesn’t mean you have to have a PhD in nutrition. There are activities you can do to help live a healthier life such as shedding pounds increasing your energy level, brain power, and potentially help stave off the most common diseases.

Let me state, I am not a fan of removing essential elements of the diet such as eliminating carbohydrates, eliminating fat, and eliminating protein. Our body needs each of these to work properly, and cutting any one completely out is not going to help you or your health overall.

If you are serious in your desire to lose weight to improve your health, you don’t have to. follow any of these complicated and highly restrictive diet advice these pseudo nutritionists are putting out.

You can certainly go to the well-known, long time recognized, and effective weight loss clinics for help. On the other hand, I can assure you that a loss of 30 lbs. in 30 days is a fast way to destroy your body. It is simply physiologically impossible to healthily lose 30 lbs in 30 days. Only a fool would fall for this nonsense.

During my years as a strength coach, helping my lifters prepare for different powerlifting contests, it has been my observation that weight loss is really an individual decision process.

Each one of them had to find the right combination of eating, getting liquids into their body, sleeping, and exercising to lose 1 or 2 lbs. correctly and safely over a three-to-four-week period. They started paying close attention to their nutrition early on, they didn’t start the week before. They kept logbooks, and wrote down everything they ate, drank, and chewed throughout the day.

And, most importantly, they made certain they ate portions from each of the three major food groups: fat, carbohydrates, and protein.

Bear in mind that one doughnut contains anywhere from 190-330 calories, and it will take approximately thirty minutes of moderate exercise to work off these calories. Don’t you think that time could be better spent increasing your health rather than trying to catch up?
