Nutrition Tips
1. Don't starve yourself.
Lowering your caloric
intake below 1,200 calories a day is the worst thing you can do for
permanent weight loss. Your brain will tell your body to slow down your
metabolism to prevent starvation. Then as soon as you resume a normal diet,
your metablolic rate will be too slow to burn the extra calories that you
are taking, resulting in weight gain almost immediately. You'll also lose vital muscle mass that helps you burn more calories. You should actually eat 5 to 6 small snacks and meals every 2 to 3 hours. Only eat 200 to 500 calories per meal at the most, keeping your daily intake around 1,500 to 2000 calories. This will keep your bodies metabolic rate in a burning mode all day long.
2. Drink lots of water.
Water is the most important catalyst in fat
metabolism. Water is your body's most important nutrient and enables your
body to flush out wastes properly. You should try and drink 1/2 to 1 gallons of water daily. Soft drinks, tea, coffee, and juices don't count.
3. Take a quality multivitamin.
It's impossible to get the recommended
daily allowance of vitamins and minterals that your body needs from your
diet alone. Vitamins and minerals are the spark plugs to all the processes such as protein synthesis (muscle building) and fat metabolism that you want to take place.
4. Don't eat late at night.
Try not to eat within 3 hours of your bedtime. If you need to eat something, then try to make it light. A low-carb protein shake, a hand full of grapes, or a small chicken salad.
5. Read the labels.
Be conscious of what you put into your body. Read the labels and stay clear of foods high in sugar, saturated fats, and sodium. A good rule is to stick with white meats (no ham), whole grains, fruits, and veggies.
