Turn Fat Into Muscle – Learn How Tweaking the Diet Can Get Rid of Fat

My ethos is this, if you are not getting any results with your diet you drastically need to change something quick.

From the many years trying to get the look I wanted I overlooked my eating habits, this doesn't mean to say I didn't know what good foods were and ate unhealthily. The opposite was true. The problem I had was that I didn't know how to eat for my body. I ignored the way I responded to the foods I was eating. After a long battle with my fat levels it finally dawned on me that the type of foods and how I was eating them played the major role in acquiring a toned fat free physique.

You can eat a diet full of mainstream healthy foods and still get fat. This can be down to:

Food intolerance
This leads to poor digestion and bloating. Grains, dairy and processed foods to name a few can be responsible for this.

Too many calories
Over eating is particularly bad for your fat levels if you eat infrequent meals and the wrong kind of calories.

Not balancing the ratio between the carbohydrates and protein
This habit provokes the fat storing mechanism and will keep you piling on the pounds regardless of your energy expenditure.

Eating nutritionally poor foods
If you eat processed food your body doesn't get the nutrients from the food you eat therefore you will keep eating until you are satisfied because your body is looking for the nutrients.

Eating too soon after a meal
Not allowing ample time between meals is one way to stress the digestive system, good digestion is essential for fat loss.

My research took me to a place I would never have dreamed. The wholemeal bread, milk, low fat foods, anything processed, wheat and all the carbohydrates eaten without protein had to stop. These foods were causing havoc with my hormones and contributing to fat storage and poor digestion.

I didn't change everything overnight because if I am completely honest I was a little sceptical. The information I was researching was new to me, so I decided to change a little at a time and couldn't believe the response that followed.

I quickly developed more energy, tighter looking skin and a lot less overall body fat. I soon acquired the taste for other foods I hadn't eaten for years and the variety of foods I included in a typical week sharply began to rise. This made me enthusiastic about eating and got rid of any fear I once held about certain foods.
