What About Those Snacks

-

 I know it’s hard to get into a new routine. I talked about eating 5 or 6 times a day. It’s a great way to lose weight if you can make the change. You're eating very small quantities every time you eat, the idea is that you never get full. You only eat enough to get to the next meal.  So you have to eat about every 3 or 3 1/2 hours, no longer or you’ll start to get hungry.

You start by eating a good breakfast, not big but filling. I eat oatmeal. Remember, eat healthy, let’s say about 7 a.m. Then about 10 am you eat again, maybe fruit and yogurt. Take lunch at about 1 p.m., but not a big lunch, remember you ate at 10. So you bag something from home, a half sandwich, and a piece of fruit. Around 4 pm. you eat again, maybe the other half of that sandwich. Now you get home so about 7 you eat again, something small like half a breast of chicken and some vegetable like broccoli. And about 10 or later eat something small, preferably a cup of plain Greek yogurt. The secret is to eat healthy food all day and only small portions.

If you noticed out of the foods I recommend there’s only meat mentioned once a day. Sandwiches should be made with Avocado, cheese,  or peanut butter, something with nutrition but not meat. Some people will need to eat that meat and vegetable either at 1,4, or 7. Only 4 oz. of meat all day, but avoid red meat. Lean pork, chicken breast, turkey breast, or fish. I try to eat fish 3 times a week, but avoid the fish high in Mercury.

Yes, reducing calories can help you lose weight, but the calories you eat must be fortified with nutrition. You have to keep up your strength. Look for ways to put more protein in your diet, like dairy products, beans, and vegetables like broccoli. Now more than ever you have to start eating what’s right for you and not what you like. Eating 1000 calories a day of the wrong food won’t help you. You won’t get rid of the cravings.

Cravings are a subconscious state of mind. It’s your body telling you that you're missing nutrition that you should have eaten. So you keep eating not knowing what you're missing. It’s all subconscious thoughts. When you stop eating the food you like and start to eat the food your body needs your body fat will begin to shrink. You’ll start to lose weight and you’ll start to feel better.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

-

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus...

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to ...
