Last time I wrote about the three basic body types. Also, in my last post, I wrote about my apple fast and some other weight loss tips. In this post I'm going to show you some tips on eating, and what vitamins you should be taking. All of this will help you start getting the weight off! First, you have to stop eating at those fast food restaurants! You do not know what is in the crap they are serving you...you don't know if it is full of calories and fats or if it's healthy. The stuff that is put in all of this fast food is made to keep the food from going bad and spoiling. Sounds great, right? Wrong! All of that stuff is building up in your heart, colon, liver and everywhere else! You need to start cooking at home, all the time. When you cook at home you should stay away from all the butter and other fattening cooking ingredients. Stay away from fried foods and start steaming and baking your foods. Start eating fish, fruits, veggies, beans, nuts etc... I know, it doesn't sound the greatest but if you get some good recipes, then you can make it taste more gourmet. Another thing to remember when cooking are portion sizes. A couple tips for eating the right portions: Never eat from a bag! When you eat from a bag you will over eat every time. You shouldn't be eating anything like chips anyways. Also, if you can, under cook. Do not cook enough to let yourself overeat. Now, I'm going to address the situation with drinks. Bad drinks include pop, beer and any type of juices that are made with artificial ingredients. Good drinks include water, real juice and wine. When I mention wine, I mean in small amounts. Not a whole bottle! Drinking plenty of water each day can help you cut back on your hunger as well as flush your system. Water is extremely important to weight loss and staying healthy. Now, on to the vitamins. First, you need to take a multi-vitamin. A multi-vitamin helps fill the gaps where your food and liquid intake is not giving you sufficient vitamins. This will make you have more energy as well as help with your weight. Also, Vitamin B (if not already in the multi-vitamin). Vitamin E will give you the antioxidants that you need. Antioxidants = all around better health. Vitamin A is an all around vitamin. This vitamin does it all. One last thing before I go. Make out a good workout out routine and hang it somewhere where you have to look at it everyday. This will help you keep up with your exercise. Also, try to make your workouts fun. This can be hard to do, but if you can, it will help you to stay with your routine. Remember, when exercising do a larger amount of cardio than weight lifting. While weight training, you should use smaller weights and do more reps to gain a more lean body. But if you want to pack on the muscle then you just use larger weights and less reps. When first starting an exercise routine start out slow and gradually work harder. Hope this helps! Have fun losing weight.
