Slimming Down - Fast!

Have you ever wondered why there are 45,000 products in our supermarkets and  only a handful of these products don’t cause you to get fat?

I’m writing this post around the Christmas holiday time and no doubt many of you will resolve to get fitter in the coming year. It seems appropriate 
therefore, that I should give a few simple rules for really losing weight - starting right now – that will not involve making unrealistic and unnecessary sacrifices.

Stop being hostage to the food creators that are thinking more about themselves than about you. Take control yourself with these 7 guidelines to reduce your body fat naturally and relatively quickly. 

7 Easy Guidelines

1. Avoid Unnecessary Carbs. You do not need carbohydrates all the time so avoid most of them (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, sugar (glucose, fructose, honey, jam)) and eat fruits only one day at weekends - instead of everyday – you don’t need the fructose (fruit sugar) on a daily basis unless you are really active. If you can’t do without fruit eat only strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries – these you can eat any day.

Of course, you don’t avoid want to avoid carbs forever. They provide ready energy. However, you use them to control your weight like a lever when you’re close to your ideal weight.

2. Eat Regularly - Don't leave more than 3 hours before you eat again if you can! Imagine your metabolism as a fire in a fireplace. To keep a normal fire burning you would stoke it with wood to keep it burning all day. Do the same with your body making sure that you eat small amounts - handfuls regularly - so that the fire never completely dies out. By small amounts I mean a handful of say Brazil nuts, or two spoons of peanut butter – try to consume about 170-200 calories each time.

3. Don't Drink Calories. Avoid high calorie drinks and fruit juices – (NB: Water has 0 calories!) - Why drink calories then go to the gym to burn them off!

4. Snacks - Snack on pure protein foods (salmon, bacon, eggs, ham, fish, legumes, peanut  butter, lentils  and nuts) often and drink plenty of water throughout the day.  Bear in mind that there are so many millions of protein options available to you that you don’t need to eat unnecessary carbs.

5. Cause Some Confusion - Switch your meals around. Have your dinner at lunch and have your lunch meal in the evening or your lunch meal in the morning and your breakfast meal in the evenings – This keeps your body guessing.

6. Remove Temptation - If you live alone remove the carbs from around you and replace them  with tins of tuna, salmon, crab and other fish. NB: This may be difficult for many because sugar and starch (especially sugar) is addictive – but starch is just a pointless filler for weight loss – in many cases.

7. Mix it up - Treat yourself 1 day a week, maybe at the weekends, just to mix things up for your body.

If you are able to follow these rules as well as regular exercise, over the course of a few weeks, (even though exercise is not necessary per se) you should begin to see a reduction in fat. The best part is that you probably won’t need to diet as such.

From this point forward, you should also be able to discern which of the 45,000 supermarket products to safely ignore.

To your greater health
