Nutrition for Weight Loss

Nutrition plays a key role in losing weight. If you really want to lose weight and keep it off, then you must implement healthy eating habits that will give your body the proper nutrients it needs to work more efficiently. When your body does this it will burn up that fat you have stored away and in turn you will be a leaner, healthier new you and improved you.

If you are unsure as to what is considered healthy and what is not then follow these simple rules that I am about to give you. Remember to keep it simple. Weight loss is not all that complicated. It can be if you make it, but it doesn't have to be, so I won't do that here for you.

Start by knowing that from now on you will eat six meals each day. Yes I said six. No I do not mean six meals the size of your Thanksgiving Day feast. You will eat six smaller more manageable meals. You will eat one meal every two and a half to three hours. Now you might be asking what if I can't sit down and eat a complete meal because of my job or my home life etc.? There are a number of meal replacement bars and shakes on the market that you can supplement with. That discussion goes beyond the scope of this article, but I have personally used products from EAS and Met-Rx. They taste good and highly favorable in the industry.

To make your life simpler, plan your meals ahead of time. I try to prepare all of my meals on Sunday night that will last me from Monday through Saturday the following week. The microwave makes things so much easier these days. Just pick an evening where you can get all of your meals prepared for the next 7 days and everything will fall into line.

Each meal should consist of protein, carbohydrates and green vegetables. Nothing too complicated, right? Exactly, just the way it should be! Each of those should be equal in portion on your plate and a portion size should be the same size as your clenched fist. Remember, the key here is to keep it simple so you stay on it. If you make it too complicated with weights, scales and measurements, you won't last two weeks, three tops.

Your protein sources should be derived from lean meats such as chicken breast and fish as well as eggs or egg substitutes. I prefer egg whites, but have found that 3 egg whites mixed with one whole egg taste a whole lot better.

Multi-grain breads, brown rice and fruits are an excellent source of carbohydrates. I like to get two servings of fruits each day and that usually comes with my meals between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. In those meals I will have a medium sized apple, an orange, or maybe a handful of grapes. In the 4 other meals I like to have my whole grains, potatoes and so on to get my complex carbohydrate fix (if you will).

Now finish off your meal with some green vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, spinach or mixed varieties of lettuce. The vegetables help with your vitamins and minerals as well as roughage to help with digestion.

Remember to drink 10 ounces of water with each and every meal that you consume. Water is a vital part of all weight loss programs and is good for your body for a variety of reasons that I won't go into here, just know that the average person should get about 64 ounces of water everyday.

You are now ready to turn your body into a fat burning machine. Add in some light exercise such as walking the dog or walking with a friend, or heck even walk your friend's dog, and you will start seeing results in no time.

Just remember with any nutrition or weight loss program you should consult with your physician prior to starting to get a complete physical.
