Easiest & Quickest Weight Loss Solutions – Keep a Food Diary

One of the reasons for keeping a food diary is to let yourself know what goes in your mouth every day of the week. People adopt unhealthy habits that they become accustomed to and forget how much junk food they actually consume. It is time to be honest.

Without keeping a food diary you are likely to miss some vital information about yourself. A food diary is more than just recording the foods you eat day by day. A food diary will tell you accurately what works for and against your body.

It may seem like a tedious task but it will only take you a couple of minutes each day at the most. Doing so will uncover your strengths and weaknesses.

Be patient and fill in your food diary a day at a time. The more accurate it is the more you will get from it.

Carry your food diary around with you everywhere you go for the next seven days and fill it in as you go about your business.

Below are some tips of how to describe how you feel after each meal. The window is from a few minutes to a few hours after each meal.

Different responses:
Feel satisfied
Feel full but comfortable
Have renewed energy

If you get any of the above responses and you are progressing with weight loss and reducing fat you are on to a winner.

But on the other hand if you are experiencing any of the descriptions below:

Feel full but still hungry
Have cravings
Feel tired
Feel bloated

You will need to adjust your ratios and/or eliminate problem foods. To name just a few types of food that needs to be held back until you begin to see results - processed foods, sugar, caffeine, alcohol and most dairy products.

Even if you are progressing with fat loss and your weight is coming down but experiencing negative responses after each meal your body is obviously not running at its optimum level.

It is advisable to keep experimenting and see what works best for you. Put simpler, do you need more protein with your meals and less carbohydrates or vice versa? Referring to your food diary for feedback and guidance is the easiest way to tweak your diet for fat loss results and achieving good health.

Tips to Overcome Diet Obstacles

Do you have a history of yoyo dieting and putting weight on easily? Unable to lose stubborn body fat? Does the diet and exercise thing haunt you and are you tired of it? I have observed peoples diet weaknesses and compiled a few tips to help you with issues and hard times. Use them straight away to help you win the battle of the fat at the height of the diet calendar.

Fuel the body with natural dense foods

Throw out all the processed foods from your diet and begin to reap the benefits of real foods. Real foods are foods you find in the ground or on the tress, swim in the ocean or run in the wild. Real foods are heaving with natural goodness that your body needs for optimal health. No amount of processed foods in your diet dressed in synthetic vitamins is ever going to replace what you can get from nature. Once you replace all your processed foods with natural foods you will begin to unlock one of the first pathways to progressive fat loss.

Burn fat with weights, not on a hamster wheel

Muscle tissue is metabolically active, for every pound of muscle you add to your body you will burn an additional 50 calories. Don’t make the mistake of thinking low calorie diets and loads of cardiovascular exercise will help you drop weight or fat. It will make your situation worse in the long term because you risk losing calorie hungry muscle tissue. It isn’t possible to build muscle tissue with the type of cardiovascular exercises health clubs have made popular. Training with resistance is very important for your success and needs to be the priority in your exercise regime.

Forget calories, think nutrients

Your body only knows nutrients contrary to what you may believe. If you eat a slice of cake your body doesn’t scream oh no here comes 500 calories, then says to itself, not to worry because if I only get fed another 500 calories today everything will be all right. If this were the case there would be a lot more thin people especially those who live on low calorie diets. Listen very carefully to what I am spelling out here, calories in versus calories out is out of date science. It looks like the right thing on paper but in reality it doesn’t work.

Your body sees foods as chemicals and nothing more. If you get the balance wrong with processed foods or too many carbohydrates, proteins or fats then everything changes. Counting calories is the least of your problems.

Before you know it the nutrients don’t get to where your body needs them and hormones are released to cope with the biological stress. This leads to muscle loss and a slow metabolism ending with you piling on the pounds.

If this sounds complicated think again. I have explained exactly how to modify the diet for fat loss results in my book. Go to www.fatlossevery10days.com for more information.
