There are a number of people who go to the gym 5 days a week religiously and still say that they haven’t lost any weight or fat. The answer to this predicament is, “DIET”. What you eat and don’t eat play a vital role in weight-loss and burning fat in your body. This does not mean that you have to starve yourself or give up foods that you love. However, it is important to control your meals, the portions and to cut down on unhealthy food while replacing them with healthier snacks. Here are a few facts to help you on your weight-loss journey.
Handling your hunger is a tough thing to do. It is difficult to say no and stay away from foods when you are hungry. The general consensus is for people to avoid meals which makes this craving even more intense. It is better instead to eat your 3 main meals and have healthy snacks to help you control your hunger. It is a lot easier to prevent indulging yourselves on potato chips when you are already full from a snack of fruits or nuts.
A significant part of your diet also depends on the liquids you take. It is important to cut out sugary drinks and energy drinks as they contain caffeine and a large amount of sugar. These types of drinks can offset your diet and your hard work. The best liquid to take is water. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
We all love a delicious steak on occasion and that’s okay. Eating what you love is good as long as you are mindful of the preparation. It is advisable to go for more healthier options such as grilled, steamed or baked foods instead of fried foods.
Always remember that majority of your fitness journey relies on your food. Eat healthy! Stay healthy!
