Shine a light
Spring has finally arrived and everywhere folks are getting excited about what’s going on outdoors. Sadly, one of the things that keep people inside is not being able to fit into last years’ clothes. Winter tends to help those not so nice areas stay hidden, but once spring hits light seems to shine on all the wrong spots. It’s hard to stay fit in the winter without the sun radiating its energy or warmer weather drawing out more play. One thing that needs to be said about a healthy lifestyle is that exercise and healthy eating have to be consistent most of the time. Create healthy eating habits that will ensure a best made plan will not fail.
Real Food
The worst foods to eat with any meal are empty carbohydrates. To maintain a healthy weight eat fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. These foods are good carbohydrates high in fiber and stabilize blood sugar. Eat them all day and in between meals to keep metabolism high and burning calories. Stay away from empty carbohydrates which are only bleached flour products that have absolutely no nutritional value.
Defeat the enemy
Another idea to be consistent with is sleep. Setting a routine sleep schedule each night ensures that good habits will form and rest will be plenty. Getting enough sleep keeps metabolism rates higher, which burns more calories and helps reduce stress. Stress is one of the greatest enemies against weight loss. Not only does it create a bigger belly fat due to increased cortisol levels, but it creates a need for comfort food, promotes less exercise and rips away sleep. This is the worst five letter word for health and needs to be dealt with right away.
Have a plan
Start a meal plan. This plan does not have to last forever, but the important thing to see is a better way of eating. If there is a hard time cutting up vegetables daily buy a vegetable tray from the grocery store. These will cost more, but will start anyone off easy. Plan meals for five days and don’t buy extra foods that will pack on extra pounds. Grilling vegetables is another fun way to get a daily dose of good nutrients.
Every little step
It is not necessary to spend countless hours at the gym to get rid of dead winter weight. Everyday activities helps to add up the amount of exercise required for consistent calorie burn. In fact, when exercise is conducted in intervals, blood sugar levels are better stabilized and carbohydrates are no longer stored as body fat. This is excellent news! Every hour or two try getting up and running an errand, finishing a chore or going for a walk. When going for a walk or a jog, try mixing the speeds between slow and fast. The amount of energy required to get up moving again is the extra calorie burn secret. Extra calories fall off when strength is found throughout the day, workouts come and go and meals are always planned and prepared.
