Continuous Weight Loss Made Easy

There is a major misconception in today's culture regarding food and bodyweight. All too often we hear about counting calories, eliminating carbohydrates, and so on and so forth. The stampede from one diet craze to another points to the sheer frustration consumers are feeling here in the U.S.

Indeed, one third of U.S. children are considered obese, an appalling figure and an indictment on our understanding and implementation of healthy eating. To be sure, our easily accessible candy, sugar loaded drinks, and fat laden fried foods have had an impact and must be considered.

The real problem runs deeper than these easy targets for our "population expansion" if you will. The real problem is meal timing and the composition of the various meals. Having studied nutrition at Central Michigan University, and kept employ at a nutrition company in previous years, it always shocked me how much time people spent banging their head against the wall in frustration, just because of a lack of knowledge.

So here for you now are 5 tips you can implement today to make food work for you.

1. Eat Breakfast: Often, after advising a client to add breakfast to their routine, they would report back flabbergasted that they had lost 10 or more pounds in the course of a few weeks. When you eat breakfast, you are doing just that, breaking a fast. It boosts your metabolism, and gets you started off right.

2. Eat More Meals: Sounds crazy but its true. Eating six smaller meals throughout your day is amazingly better for you than three big ones. If you can't do that, then compromise and have your one big meal, preferably at breakfast time. Just make sure to snack lightly throughout the day.

3. Consume Protein Rich Foods 2 hours before hard exercise: This will give your body time to process the protein which will in turn give you added energy and strength for your hard workouts or sporting activities.

4. Make most of your food "live" food: Many more would be shocked at the power of consuming a small amount of protein before sleep helped repair muscles, burn fat, and optimize their sleep patterns.

5. Make your last meal 2 hours before bedtime: Eating food right before bedtime is a bad move in many respects. It packs on the weight, disturbs good sleep and causes one to wake up groggy the next morning. A very light snack before bed, preferably high in protein is ok, but no more than 50 to 100 calories a half hour before you plan on getting to sleep.

The list goes on how ADDING to a diet results in fat loss and energy gain. And actually, adding to a diet makes sense. People tend to overeat after skipping on necessary energy consumption, the body's way of saying, "I don't trust you so I'm going demand lots of food and store it as fat." Change your body's mind and give it all the positive energy it needs to work properly.
