It seems we are a nation obsessed with being thin, yet the majority of the adult population are overweight or obese.
Fad diets are a big part of this, with rebound weight gain almost guaranteed, along with lower levels of confidence & self-esteem as a result.
Fad diets DO. NOT. WORK.
There is even an argument that this is in fact the point of fad diets, as if you continually re-gain weight and get fatter overtime, the "diet guru's" can continue to sell you the latest diet again, year after year after year.
Forget fad diets.
Here is your solution:
There is no doubt that diet & nutrition is a confusing area for most, with many, many people promoting many, many different approaches.
Whilst approaches can differ however, there are certain "big rocks" that ALL approaches have & that should form the basis of your nutrition for general health & fitness.
These are:
1.) Eat breakfast
2.) Eat at least 3 meals per day
3.) Eat protein at every meal
4.) Consume fibre at every meal
5.) Take your fish oil capsules
Simply aim to do all of the above daily & don't worry about the rest, at least for now.
That's it. Add in some strength training & fitness work a couple times per week (ideally under the guidance of a coach) & you will be amazed at the difference it can make.
If you struggle with fat loss, simply refer back to this list & see how many your are actually doing on a daily basis. Until you get these down, don't even worry about anything else - the rest is just details.
You'll also notice an improvement in energy levels, recovery from workouts & reduced sugar cravings, amongst other benefits.
Really folks, it is THAT simple.
No secrets, miracle formulas of magic shakes required.
Give it a shot & let us know how you get on!
