Nutrition advice

Some advice from a coach in Australia:

This month's nutrition article has some tips to shed that weight as simple as I can explain.

So many people come to me and want to shed weight whether it is for health issues or to be lighter for running or simply vanity but the rules are the same:

1.    Stop the rubbish food
2.    Stop the large meals
3.    Stop too much fat
4.    Stop too much carbs
5.    Stop the big gaps in meals, it's slowing your metabolism
6.    Increase the protein and good fats
7.    Exercise
8.    Get yourself a food plan

Simple hey? But it seems not…most people do the following

1.    Lie to themselves about what they eat
2.    Have no idea what is fat or carbs or protein
3.    Won't spend any money to get on the right track
4.    Give up after a week
5.    Don’t monitor or motivate themselves
6.    Don’t investigate a plan

Ok simple advice on what to do

1. Exercise min of 30 mins a day even if it’s a power walk
2. Reduce size of meals
3. Eat min of 5 times a day
         Breakfast ,
         Mid morning
         Lunch
         Mid afternoon
         Dinner
4. Use fat burners to help metabolise your fats
5. Reduce carbs and fat, increase protein to get leaner
6. Use a supplement to start with to increase the protein and cut out rubbish food
7. Drink fluids all day e.g. electrolyte without carbs
8. Drink things like peppermint tea to curb your appetite. Coffe/tea with skim milk is not too bad
