Intro to fat loss
For most people who want to change the shape of their bodies, the first thing that comes into their heads is the word ‘diet’. Often this is then followed by thoughts of following the latest faddy diet which typically involves cutting out carbs, eating only soups or eating just Golden Syrup or something!
Most people will then religiously follow these diets and mostly by around the second week will have lost a few pounds (along with their sanity).
Adopting a healthier body for life requires a change in your heating HABITS. Habits are easy to start yet hard to break.
If you want to change your body and your lifestyle, here is one thing you can do today.
1. Choose fibre rich foods
From today you are only going to buy wholemeal bread, brown rice and wholemeal pasta. Make today the last day you buy white bread.
That’s it. This simple change in your habits will ensure that you reduce your calorie intake. Fibre expands in the gut, thereby making you feel fuller and helping to prevent overeating. It also helps to satisfy your hunger by slowing the rate that foods pass through your digestive system and stablising blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that people who increased their fibre intake for 4 months ate fewer calories and lost an average of 5lb – with no dieting!
So make that change today, without having to feel those awful hunger pangs associated with the traditional diet.
Eat to train,
Nicola
