Let’s not kid ourselves: It does not matter how much exercise you do, if you do not get your nutrition right you will not see the results you want. If you put junk in your body you will feel like junk. If fat loss is your goal then 80% of the equation is food intake. So, here are 10 simple Nutrition tips you can implement into your week to help you on your way to Live Better, Move Better, Work Better and Feel Better.
1. Learn how much food your body needs and work out how much you are actually taking in. A good place to start is to work out your BMR ( Basal Metabolic Rate: the number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day) http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/
2. Don't skip meals especially Brekkie. Develop a regular eating schedule of three meals and two or three snacks per day. See http://www.innervate.net.au/reduce-body-fat/
3. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
4. Eat plenty of lean protein: remove the skin (e.g Chicken Breast, Lean Beef, Fish, Egg Whites)
5. Get rid of the white stuff (white flour, white pasta, white sugar, white rice and simple carbs)
6. Increase your water intake
7. Be prepared, pack your food in your bag for the office, have healthy snacks in your desk drawer.
8. Don't drink your calories
9. Work Out regularly (I know you know but I thought I’d remind you).
10. Don’t make excuses: too busy, too tired, too lazy, need to put my loved ones first. You need to prioritize your health. You cannot look after anyone else if you don’t have your own well being in check.
