Following on from yesterday and all of those people who had put on an enormous amount of weight through drinking fizzy drinks, and diet drinks of all kinds, the main issue is that most people never seem to totally address their sugar addiction.

If something tastes too sweet, then its probably bad for you, this is a general rule I have always used. If everything sweet  becomes the norm for you, than expect a massive surge in your waistline, your hips, your blood sugar levels and extreme tiredness in your life.

I have always told people that it can take up to 12 weeks to change your taste buds, so that you get used to more natural foods.

I have heard all sorts of excuses for people not to get into eating natural but they have worn very thin now, especially when they complain they are not getting the results they had hoped for!!! Its time to sort your attitude out if you still cling on to the belief that you can still eat sweet processed food and expect to be in good shape.

The point they were trying to make in the study reported in the paper yesterday was that because the taste of the fizzy drink was still sweet, it would still make you feel like eating sweet and usually processed foods, which would usually pile the weight on. The taste for sugary foods is still going to hang around if you don’t make the change now to better, more natural foods for your body, this is the simple choice you have!!!!

There can be a lot of not so good virtues of “diet” food. When a food is usually created into a diet version, the good natural bits are usually stripped away and thrown away. Therefore the food becomes a different food just lower in calories, but with a fraction of the nutrients, and not so good for you.

Its time to take the plunge and sample the delights of foods in their natural form!

Let me tell you something about the lifestyle i am selling!!!!

If you eat as naturally as possible and in sensible amounts, you WILL get in shape!!!

If you exercise regularly with strength and work your lungs regularly, you WILL get in shape!!!!

If you hit the sack early, you WILL feel more energetic and your body will recover nicely for the following day.

If you drink enough water throughout the day, you will up to a third more energy, burn more body fat and your body will function as a whole much better.

If you drink alcohol very much in moderation, a maximum of once a week, you will be able to stay in shape.

Smoking is the worst thing you can do FULL STOP, end of conversation on that in one sentence!!!

If you do all of these things, you will have a very powerful formula to feel and look amazing!!!

Whats your alternative?

Im sure most of you have tried them.

Go to a slimming club, and most of you WILL lose weight. Then according to research done by various national companies, you WILL PUT ALL THE WEIGHT BACK ON, and 5% on top on average. These are official statistics not mine!

Have you tried the all shakes and all bars diet, you know the one, i wont print their name for legal reasons.

You know the one, which makes you lose all the weight in a not very sensible way, and then PILES it back on once you eat normal food again, makes you feel light headed at time and charges you 75 pounds a week for the privillage!!! You should know the one by now!!

Have you tried any of the thousands of diet books, then a big thank you comes from the authors, although 99% of them never worked, they thank you personally for your monetary contribution to their pension funds, how generous of you!!!

So back to the point and as jean pointed out in yesterdays comment, doing it the natural sensible way is the best and only way to go!!!!

So all those people losing weight on a short term fix and through a faddy company, wish them good luck but just observes a few weeks or months down the line, statistics and research shows a highly negative outcome unfortunately.

Lets stay positive, eat natural, train smart and with real intensity, and discover the amazing heights you’re capable of not only know but for the rest of your life!!!

If you’re looking for your big start to the week, then you need a fundamentally good start to the week and it all begins with some solid eating plans!
 
 
Nothing wrong with up to 3 cups of tea or coffee a day, but you do need plenty of water on top of that, 8-10 glasses a day or around 1.5 litres if you are consuming by the bottle.
 
 
Breakfast is always going to work best when its a natural choice, weetabix are always fine, and porridge can be a great selection giving you a nice long steady supply of energy to start the day off. Dried fruit can be a great sweetener.
 
 
If you are having some fruit juice in the morning or at any other time, its always an excellent idea to dillute it as you wont be consuming as much sugar as a whole glass of juice, therefore saving on needless calories too.
 
 
Fruit is usually a matter of personal taste, some people like certain fruits and tend to stick on the same ones. Its always good to mix them up a bit so you get different nutrients, but the bottom line is that fruit of any kind should come in on a daily basis.
 
 
Vegetables are a must have in anyone’s day, a lot of people ignore these at their peril, because they provide a lot of what your body needs when it comes to supporting good health.  Again try to keep it varied and your body will feel all the better for it.
 
 
Your protein selections should be the lean choices, such as white meats and fish, and if you keep to this, you will feel full and your calories consumed will be relatively low, red meat is fine but only once a week.
 
 
One of the biggest mistakes people make with carbs is portion sizes, and if they are bigger than the size of your fist, then everything you eat will be putting on body fat rather than giving you energy.
 
 
Portion size for some people is one of the most difficult thing to change, but once you do get used to the smaller amounts, then your appetite gets smaller, and your ability to eat big meals goes down, which means a smaller and flatter stomach of course.
 
Put in a great workout today and add of all this great food, and you’re off to a flier early on in the week!!!

Going through the motions when doing anything is bad news for results, enthusiasm, excitement, fun, meaning, being truthul or just about anything worthwhile.

Once you start showing up for your workouts and you just want to “go through the motions” and are not fired up anymore, then its time to have another look at your programme and why you’re doing it in the first place.

There’s nothing like that first time i meet someone to begin their training programme for the first time, and their enthusiasm and drive to want to do well. This is exciting for everyone because once someone is determined and committed to get results, then results are more of less guaranteed unless they are on a programme thats unsuitable.

You can have the best programme in the world, but if someone is not committed to getting results, then its going to be a long slow road every single time. This is why i like to come straight to the point these days, and cut straight to the chase in my first few meetings with someone.

Being interested in results and not just making friends with someone is the way to go, and i have to be able to feel i can upset someone if they insist on not doing the right thing.

 I have to be able to tell someone that this or that is the wrong way, and we have to get on the right as soon as we can or the big result they hoped for in the first place is likely to never happen. Most people appreciate honesty and you have more of chance of becoming friends with someone if you’re truthful with them, instead of leading them up blind alleys!!

This is a great week to revive that enthusiasm and drive you had deep down when we first started, if you can get it back, its going to guarantee a few weeks automatically of substantial progress. Its time for fresh momentum as well as consistent committed actions, lets do it!!!!!!!

Some of you are going through a fresh start at the moment, and that’s always a good thing.

Don’t look back at your failures of the recent past, you can learn from them. They can only be classed as failures IF you don’t learn from them, simple as that. They can be classed as “learning” experiences if you proceed with confidence in the future, knowing you’re not going to go back to the place that caused misery and unhappiness before.

Unfortunately, the process of putting on weight, then taking it off, then piling it back on and this time 5% more again, can be deeply distressing! Some of you have been through it a number of times, and it doesn’t make it any easier of course.

This is an opportunity to put them to rest, and tell yourself you simply won’t accept the faddy diets you used to go on, you won’t fall for buying a faddy piece of exercise equipment again that you never use, you wont accept mediocrity in your training attendance.

For example, how many times have you wondered how you’re putting weight on in a particular month, and if you go back through that month in your head, you would have realised you may have missed a lot of scheduled workouts, the one day a week drinking rule has become a two-three day a week rule, and your stricter eating habits have now become somewhat less than strict, and the one day a week “have what you like” rule has become a three to four day a week rule!!!

So coming back to our point, making a fresh start is exactly that, there is NO GOING BACK this time.

If you are focused on getting your mind and body in top shape, you have to choose which lifestyle you really want. Is it the pain of constant disappointment and regret? Or will you be brave and actually DO IT this time and make it sustainable for the rest of your life? No regrets and no going back, you have to remember that so lets go!!!!
