What Exactly Is A Balanced Meal?
If exercise protocols for weight loss are bound with certain rules and principles to be effective, so is weight loss nutrition. Choosing the kind of food to include in your daily meals must be strictly in accordance to certain standards for it to deliver results. Let's see these rules.
Really, think about these things for a moment.
I acnnot deny the fact that one of the most difficult aspects of losing weight is being disciplined with what you ingest. Your strong wish to make the changes must be accompanied by a real set of steps that you can follow so you can be successful.
What you want is something that you can control. Discovering how to do it is something that I can help with. My entire career has been spent guiding people so that they can make changes to their habits and their rules. I have developed a really good ability to do just that. When someone changes their habits and rules they find that everything changes. They alter their eating and sleeping habits. They see changes in how they look as they look in the mirror and they feel different when they get out of bed each morning. Their performance on a daily basis changes as well whether they are doing routine things or playing a sport.
These are 8 rules that should be followed:
1. You absolutely must eat something every two to three hours.
2. Do you eat this regularly every day? You do not need to consume an entire meal every two to three hours but you really must eat between six and eight different meals that will fit in the guidelines that are found below.
3. Add lean protein with every meal you prepare.
4. Check your meals if it has an "animal element" to it? If you do not then you need to make a change. If you are a vegetarian then you need to find a form of protein that does not come from an animal and include it each time you eat.
5. Eat your vegetables each time you eat something.
6. Yes, it is true. When you eat every two to three hours you should eat a form of lean protein as well as some vegetables. Add in some fruit occasionally but do not forget your vegetables.
7. Aim for whole foods.
8. everything you gobble up must be from whole grain foods. Diet shakes and supplement drinks are alright sometimes but most of your intake should be from whole foods that are mostly unprocessed.
You may have been turned off from the sound of some of the rules that are above - number six in general. There's something good about this, though. Do you know about the 10% Nutrition Rule. You can have meals that do not live up to the 10% Nutrition Rule at 10% of the time --- not daily. You really do not have to be a hundred percent disciple of your nutrition to be successful. There is only a small percentage of difference between adhering to the plan 90% of the time and 100% of the time.
Make an effort to compute for how many of your dishes equate to 10% of your efforts. As an example, when you eat six times a day for an whole week (seven days) you will eat forty two times. 10% of 42 is approximately, 4. With this calculation you can skip the rules four times in each week.
Prepare your food with strategies in mind.
You will find that the most difficult part of making good food choices is sticking to the eight steps that are described above. This is why you really must be prepared. If you know what you should eat but you don't have those foods available you will find that you are in trouble.
