5 Diet Tips for 2K10


Remember that funny video I made last year about "diet vs exercise"?

If you haven't watched it, here it is:

=> Diet vs Exercise Video

It points out the futility of the cardio confessional and shows you that diet is much more important than exercise.

And since diet is more important than exercise, I've decided to spend a lot time sharing nutrition tips this week, starting with these 5 diet secrets:

1) Your nutrition program doesn't have to be extreme.

Hold up on the insane New Year's changes. Make sure the nutrition plan you've chosen is sustainable. Simple diet changes go a lot farther than you might think.

Why not just eat more whole, natural foods rather than trying to go on an impossible-to-stick-to ultra-low carb extreme plan?

2) Get the junk out of the house.

If it's in your house, you'll eat it...and trust me, this goes for me too. When I visited my mom's house for Christmas, I ate all the chocolate I could find. But I keep it out of my house here in the big city.

So whatever your weakness is, keep it out of your home.

Success is that simple.

3) Fill in the "diet-killing" gap.

For some folks, the diet-killing gap is between work and dinner. For others, it's between dinner and bedtime, but for almost everyone, there is a point in the day when we suffer from mindless eating.

So make sure you have alternatives...as soon as you come home from work, cut up vegetables and dip them into hummus. That will keep you full on a small amount of calories.

After dinner, if you need something sweet, stir up chocolate protein powder into a small bit of plain yogurt. That will satisfy you.

4) Chew your food 20 times before swallowing.

Most people eat so fast they only about 5 times. You'll really notice a difference and you'll slow your eating so you feel full. I was reminded of this tip while reading a book called, "Mr America", about one of the first ever fitness gurus.

5) Have a bowl of broth-based vegetable soup before a meal.

American researcher Barbara Roll has published a lot of studies showing that this will help you reduce the food you eat. Surprisingly, consuming just water doesn't seem to do the same trick.

Great tips, this could be a decent start for the New Year. Certainly it’s important to get the junk out of the house. If you like to eat junk food it is sensible to maintain a healthy diet on a regular basis and only eat it causally.

the key to remember is everyone's body is not the same and people will react differently to each fat burning tip. It is very important to be patient and see how your body handles the various ways to burn fat.

I appreciated these tips and found most of them very practical. I have been using an acai blend that takes zero point energy and applies it to help the body self-heal. It is revolutionary stuff and basically takes acai to the next level.

Many thanks for sharing these great tips. Everybody is wondering about weight loss, hope this will help. Would you like to discuss about how to gain good weight. Sounds abnormal, but I’d praise your efforts.
