If you struggle with your weight this is a must read.... 5 key nutrition points to get leaner and control your weight! 1. you must eat less then you are eating now. dont believe anyone who says you can eat all you want as long as you avoid one type of food. you have to find a way to eat fewer total calories without triggering your bodys anti-starvation mechanisms 2. you need more protein. your body can thrive with relatively little protein as long as it has plenty of everything else. But when you reduce everything else by eating fewer calories you need more protein. Protein increases satiety, and puts your body in an anabolic state to build lean tissue rather than breaking them down. 3. decrease carbs. not every carb is bad. But we all eat more than we need because theres so friggin much food available. if its cheap to produce our food chain gives us too much of it and we fill up on bread, pasta, rice, corn, potatoes instead of the things that would help us achieve and maintain a healthier weight. 4. increase vegetables. vegetables like broccoli, lettuce, carrots, asparagus provide few calories per unit of volume weight, compared with energy-dense foods like breads and potatoes. plus they provide fiber which contributes to your digestive health 5.replace unhealthy fats with healthy ones. this is a complicated subject, but it really comes down to a fairly basic guideline. naturally occurring fats in meat, dairy, eggs, fish, and plants are, on balance, good for you in moderate amounts. when possible choose leaner lower fat versions, minimize use of vegetable oils for cooking and flavoring. its not because the fats are bad. we just dont need the calories. fat provides 9 calories per gram vs 4 calories per gram for carbs and proteins. so a little bit of extra fat can really throw off our total calories. The fats found in fish and fish oil supplements are worth going out of your way to obtain. if you dont eat a lot of fish take 3-6 fish oil capsules a day. they are associated with a long list of cardiovascular orthopedic and mood related benefits.
