Gradually Get Used To Healthier Foods

You Can't 'Out-Exercise' A Bad Diet

You can’t change your body just by exercising. As a matter of fact, I’d say you are wasting your time in the gym until you clean up your diet and implement a sound fitness nutrition protocol. It would be nice if we could work off last night’s junk meal with some extra cardio. Despite what some trainers would have you believe, it just doesn’t work that way. When you are about to cheat and eat that slice of pizza or bowl of ice cream, remember the Fitness Nutrition 80:20 rule. What goes into your mouth accounts for 80% of how you look. -Source

Eat Clean

The Basic Principles of Eating Clean
Eating clean involves not only choosing the right foods to eat but also avoiding all of the junk foods and processed foods that are so readily available. The keys to good health and proper nutrition are in the following principles:

Eat whole foods: Whole foods are foods that haven’t been tampered with, in the lab or the manufacturing plant. The foods you eat on this plan are straight from the farm: whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains, grass-fed and free-range meats, low fat dairy products, unsalted nuts, and seeds.

Avoid processed foods: Processed foods are any food that has a label. A label means that more than one ingredient was used to make that food. You don’t have to eliminate all processed foods (like whole grain pasta or natural cheeses), but if you can’t pronounce an ingredient on a label, don’t put that food in your shopping basket.

Swap High Calorie Foods for High Water Content Foods

Cucumbers are vegetables with high water content and few calories per serving. Watery vegetables can help you lose weight when they are used to replace higher-calorie foods. Use cucumbers strategically as part of a low-calorie diet plan to reduce hunger and stimulate weight loss.You can use cucumber to add volume to meals without adding a lot of calories.

Cucumbers' high water content can help you feel full, leading you to consume less food at meals. Cucumber acts as a natural diuretic, making you urinate more often, which reduces bloating and water retention, notes Mayo Clinic nutritionist Katherine Zeratsky.

Try New Food Combinations.

Experimenting with new food combinations is a great way to make healthy eating more exciting. 

This is a picture of one of my meals today. It's a mixture of  a chopped celery, raisins, cranberries and goji berries. It's the first time I've eaten raw celery because I don't really like the taste very much but it tastes great when mixed with the berries and raisins.

Weight Loss Motivation - Focus On Fitness

I'm finding that the best motivation for permanent weight loss is focusing on fitness. In the past I would try this-and-that-diet or eating plan and I'd lose weight, but once I'd lost the weight my goal was achieved, so there was no longer a need to focus on weight loss, consequently I would return to my old weight gain habits. Now I focus on fitness and since fitness and health are lifelong goals, I'm keeping the weight off.
I now eat healthier, I exercise more and I continue to look for ways to stay focused on fitness. Yes, weight loss is still a goal, but it is not the main focus....fitness comes first and weight loss seems to follow.

Eat Colourfully

By eating a colorful palette of produce every day, you’ll be giving your body phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are a plant-based substance that is shown to help prevent disease, cancer and the effects of aging. The brighter and more intense the color, the stronger the phytonutrients are. Each color group provides us with different important nutrients. How many colors did you eat today?-Rachel Venokur-Clark
