Hi everybody, hope your day went as you imagined it!<\/p>\n
Mine was good, and I got my exercise from swinging the garden mattock (a.k.a. γκασμ\u00ce\u00acς) hundreds of times, before planting our large vegetable garden.<\/p>\n
Onto today’s TIP: I’m sure we’ve all heard that weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. I believe this to be true, and it certainly has been in my experience. So how do we ensure the largest and most important step is taken care of? Simple, JERF (Just Eat Real Food)!!<\/strong><\/p>\n Eating real food means choosing to put into your mouth (which is not a garbage disposal!) mostly things that are as close as possible to their natural form. Ideally, it should be a single ingredient (not a long list of things you can’t pronounce!). Unprocessed, unrefined, just pure fresh goodness. At every meal (and even snack), you fill at least half your plate with vegetables (a mix of colors + some raw is best), then have a good chunk of protein like meat, fish, fowl or eggs, and and add flavor with herbs and spices. Make sure to also consume healthy fats (e.g. animal fats, real butter and coconut oil for cooking, raw olive oil + olives, avocados, raw nuts). A few fruits (berries are best) and some sensible indulgences (dark chocolate and red wine) are good too. For drinking, it’s seriously best to stick to water and some tea or black coffee (all other sweetened beverages are full of high-fructose corn syrup – yuck!). Doing just this will drastically change your body composition – you’ll be well on your way to success. This advice is particularly important in a time when we’re overfed and undernourished!<\/p>\n If a food comes in a box, can or wrapper – think twice before eating it, because it is often just disguising as one of the many forms of sugar, which is found in E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G, even most seemingly “healthy” foods (bread, milk, flavored yogurts, designer coffees, smoothies, energy\/granola bars, pretzels, sports drinks and vitamin water, energy drinks, dried fruit, all soda, juices and fruit drinks, sweetened teas, alcohol, sauces, dressings and vinaigrettes, pudding, frozen breakfast foods, muffins, any cereal, instant oatmeal, etc. – beware of anything fat-free!<\/strong>). I’m not even exaggerating. It may be time to purge all the SAD<\/abbr> foods in your home that are not good for you or your family.<\/p>\n Good luck and keep doing your best!<\/p>\n The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are. Sugar is a type of bodily fuel, yes, but your body runs about as well on it as a car would. Hi everybody, hope your day went as you imagined it!
