What About Snacking?

I know it’s hard to get into a new routine. I talked about eating 5 or 6 times a day. It’s a great idea for losing weight if you can make the change. You're eating very small quantities every time you eat, the idea is that you never get full. You only eat enough to get to the next meal.  So you have to eat about every 3 or 4 hours, no longer or you’ll start to get hungry.

You start by eating a good breakfast, not big but filling. I eat oatmeal. Remember to eat healthy, let’s say about 7 a.m. Then about 10 you eat again, maybe fruit and yogurt. Take lunch at about 1 p.m., but not a big lunch, remember you ate at 10. So you bag something from home, a half sandwich, and a piece of fruit. Around 4p.m. you eat again, maybe the other half of that sandwich. Now you get home so at about 7 you eat again, something small like half a breast of chicken and some vegetable like broccoli. And about 10 or later eat something small, preferably fruit. The secret is to eat healthy food all day and only small portions.

If you noticed out of the foods I recommend there’s only meat mentioned once a day. Sandwiches should be made with Avocado, cheese,  or peanut butter, something with nutrition but not meat. Some people will need to eat that meat and vegetable either at 1,4, or 7. Only 4 oz. of meat all day, and avoid red meat. Lean pork, chicken breast, turkey breast, or fish. An try to eat fish 3 times a week, but avoid the fish high in Mercury.

Yes, reducing calories can help you lose weight, but the calories you do eat must be fortified with nutrition. You have to keep up your strength. Look for ways to put more protein in your diet, like eating dairy products, beans, and vegetables like broccoli. Now more than ever you have to start eating what’s right for you and not what you like. Eating 1000 calories a day of the wrong food won’t help you. You won’t get rid of the cravings.

Cravings are a subconscious state of mind. It’s your body telling you that you missing the nutrition that you should have eaten. So you keep eating not knowing what you are missing. It’s all subconscious thoughts. When you stop eating the food you like and start to eat the food your body needs your body fat will begin to shrink. You’ll start to lose weight and you'll start to feel better.
