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.
