Most people are impatient. They decide they want something and they want it NOW!
We live in a world where unless we can have what we want straightaway, we lose interest very quickly. Where is this more true than eating effectively for fat loss?
Fat loss requires a 90% compliance to healthy eating. Any less and you're falling short.
You need to stick with an effective and nutritious plan of eating long enough to gauge change in your body and your general wellbeing.
1 week of being sensible is not enough!
If you're carrying substantial levels of body fat then you'll be well aware that it didn't arrive overnight. Your body fat required months, maybe years of cultivation! It could well take a while to get to where you want to be, physically.
Too many people drop off the healthy eating wagon, long before they give it a chance to take effect. They add a couple of healthier options to their current diet, like the odd bit of fruit, or vegetables with their evening meal, but more often than not continue to be tempted by the elements that really put the brakes on their fat burning efforts. They still have that glass or two of wine in the evening, they eat high sugar snacks during the day and they wonder why they don't seem to be making any headway.
If you don't stick with an effective and healthy nutrition plan long enough to see how reducing certain foods affects your weight, your stools, your skin or your energy levels, you'll end up spending the rest of your life wondering why you feel so AWFUL!
1. Eat breakfast every day
2. Drink water throughout the day - aim for approximately 2 liters
3. Eat every 3 hours - smaller portions
4. Eat vegetables with every main meal and fruit with snacks
5. Eat 5-6 times a day - thats right! Remember; smaller portions...
6. Eat protein every time you eat - meat, fish, egg, peanut butter, nuts (in small amounts)
7. Have a coffee first thing, then switch to redbush or fruit teas, if you want hot drinks
8. Avoid sugar filled snacks
9. Reduce the amount of processed, packaged food in your diet. Try and eat fresh
10. Don't beat yourself up if you slip up. Simply get back on track at your next meal.
Thats it! Take one rule at a time and make it a part of your everyday eating pattern. Once you have one change in place, move on to another. Within a few weeks your diet will have improved, along with your energy levels and your weight. Isn't a few weeks of restraint worth a lifetime of vitality? Be patient - the results will come.
