WEIGHT Loss Tips, Tip # 1: Eat Your Veggies

Yes I your mom has told you this countless times, and yes she was right every single excruciating time. Vegetables play so many important rolls in our diets that without them our bodies are similar to the United Stateswithout a government, which turns into anarchy. Vegetables provide nutrients, minerals, antioxidants, water, fiber, and probably a ton of other things we haven't discovered yet. So eat you need to at least try and eat two clenchedfist fulls of green veggies with every meal, anything above that is frosting on the cake, err I mean smart balance butteron the broccoli ;-)

Weight Loss Tips, Tip # 2: Eat More Protein

The majority of people, on the American diet, don't get enough high quality protein. Proteins are the building blocks of all tissues in our bodies, so without protein we run into a slight problem. Our bodies don't recover as fast or as efficiently. If you are training hard, like you should be, see tip #4, immediately post exercise your body will go into a catabolic state, which essentially means, your body will start "eating" your muscles to get the protein out of them, to yes we want to lose weight, but not muscle weight, we want to lose fat weight. In order to reverse this process you must consume enough proteins, especially post workout, to put your body into anabolism, which will repair and grow muscle. This is a good thing, the more muscle we have the higher our resting metabolic rate (RMR) is. By increasing our RMR, we increase the amount of calories we burn throughout the day, even when we are not training, which leads to more rapid weight loss. An added benefit of proper protein consumption, especially for the ladies, is that it keeps our nails and hair strong and healthy.

Weight Loss Tips, Tip # 3: Eat Small Portions Frequently

Aim for five to six meals a day. You can break them up in two ways. Either eat three regular larger meals and two to three snacks, or the more difficult but highly recommended way is to eat 5 to 6 balanced equal sized meals per day. This accomplishes a few things. First, it keeps your body from going into starvation mode and holding on to absolutely every shred of energy (fat) it can, instead it gets a constant flow of nutrients and is content with using up all it has. Second, it helps to keep your blood sugar fairly level, if of course you are eating the foods in the tips above, which keeps your energy up and your body from storing fat. Third, you have an excuse to eat more often, albeit smaller portions, but still very appetizing.

Weight Loss Tips, Tip # 4: MOOOOOOOVVVEE!!!!

You have to get off your duff and get some serious movement, as in weight loss training, in. Check out the weight loss tab for the keys to a slap the fat right off you weight loss program design. On top of starting a workout routine it also helps to do anything that involves more movement throughout the day, i.e. taking the stairs, parking further away, twitching, whatever itmay be. Remember movement = calories burned = weight lost so take every opportunity you get to burn those calories.

Weight Loss Tips, Tip # 5: Eat Fat

Healthy, essential fats, that is, the type you here all those good things about. You know, lowers bad cholesterol (LDL's), decreases inflammation, helps ease PMS for women, and on and on. Well there is a reason for all those claims, essential omega fats are about as close to a miracle nutrient as I can find. There is study after study showing the benefits of getting enough in your diet, so if your not eating salmon two or three times per week get a high quality fish oil supplement. One that is mercury, dioxin, and PCB free.

Weight Loss Tips, Tip # 6: Take That Bread Out of Your Mouth

There are many different and varying thoughts on carb utilization, everybody seems to have their own spin on it. Bottom line, carbs are neither good nor bad, they are a food and are designed to provide our bodies with energy. Just think this out, your muscles can only store approximately enough energy (glycogen) to last you 24 hours, and generally the large amounts of that will only get turned into glucose (blood sugar/usable energy) when we are participating in bouts of exercise or moderate to difficult physical labor. Yet, we tend to eat large amounts of carbohydrates (energy) all day long, but why would we do that if we weren't participating in physical activity? Where do you think that energy goes, if our muscles are full? If you guessed,straight to fat, then you are correct. If our body doesn't need the glucose immediately for energy and our muscle energy reserves are full the carbs get turned straight into fat for later energy usage. So, I ask you again, why would we eat large amounts of carbs all day unless our goal is to put on mounds of fat layers to hibernate for the winter? We shouldn't, the best times to eat simple and complex carbs is right after you wake up in the morning, when your body is breaking-the-fast and immediately post physical exercise. At these two times the muscles are like a sponge for glucose, they will suck up all they can get until they are full, because most of their stores have been depleted through the night or the workout. Your body craves carbs and protein after exercise routines so feel free to indulge it and get yourself re-fueled for the next day's training session.

Please take drastic notice that 5 out of the 6 tips were about nutrition. Do not take this fact lightly, you cannot, will not, and don't even try to out work a bad nutrition plan.
