Are you thinking yet of food as “fuel” instead of just a way to lose weight? This is the healthier way to look at your food and health.
You’re going to need all of the good foods we talk about all the time just to get through your day, especially if you have children, have a big career or both or if you’re in any situation where performance and energy levels are crucial!!!
On top of this, you should be looking forward to a big workout today!
If you are not eating well, then you will be probably thinking of some excuse not to train today, or an excuse not to put much effort in. It can make SO MUCH of a difference that it will alter your mindset and really affect how active you are, and how much effort you put into it.
With Formula one back on our screens, its a known fact that they use the high octane fuels in their cars, because they are interested in just one thing, RESULTS!!!
It should be the same for your body and imagine how well you would do if you bought into the whole idea of how powerful fresh natural food would be for you!! This is high octane food for your body.
Good foods can be termed as “nutrient dense” meaning its going to be good for you in layman’s terms!!
You should eat a small nutrient meal or snack every 3 hours to keep energy levels high, and keep you lean.
Indeed, you should eat 5-6 times a day to keep your metabolism going strong and keep you firing on all cylinders.
You should try and include a meal with protein each time you eat, to keep you feeling fuller for longer, and keeping your lean tissue intact, so you burn more calories 24 hours a day.
Eliminate processed and refined sugars from your diet, this will be key to stay lean and keep the quality of your calories good.
On this start to the week, its vital you get your “fuel” right in order to burn body fat, stay strong and perform at your highest levels!
