Habits Not Diets
By Tom Venuto, GHF’s Fat Loss Expert

With swimsuit weather right around the corner, like many of us, you're 
once again faced with the daunting task of shedding the layers of 
flab we have accumulated over a long winter of eating and drinking.
Of course this comes as no surprise because removing our "winter 
coats" has become a ritual for us every spring. This year, instead 
of wondering "how can I get rid of this belly in time for the 
beach," why not ask yourself a totally different question: "How 
can I lose this excess baggage permanently so I don’t have to 
keep taking it off every year?"

If you are having a difficult time keeping fat off permanently, 
it is probably because you foster the entirely wrong attitude 
towards nutrition. For most of us, our idea of a summer shape-up 
program consists of jumping on the latest diet bandwagon, which 
we inevitably end up falling off of when the summer is over. 
Losing weight is easy; the hard part is keeping it off. Instead 
of looking for quick fixes, we need to focus on developing better 
eating and exercise habits that we can maintain for the long haul. 
Instead of going on and off diets, we need to completely change our 
approach and make exercise and good nutrition our way of life. 
Small changes in our daily habits, over time, can produce quantum 
changes in your body and your health.

The first habit you must develop is to keep track of your daily 
caloric intake. Calories do count! Human physiology dictates that 
losing fat is a simple matter of consuming fewer calories than you 
burn up. Too much of anything gets stored as fat. However, it is 
not necessary to starve yourself. In fact, you can actually eat 
more and still become leaner by eating small meals more frequently. 
Five small meals, each eaten three hours apart, will speed up your 
metabolic rate, allow your body to absorb and utilize more nutrients, 
stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels, and increase your energy 
levels. Most importantly, small frequent meals will decrease fat 
storage by controlling your portion size and never giving your 
body more calories than it can utilize in one sitting.
