What to Eat to lose weight?

I get this question all the time so I sent this email out to the members of my Get fit Now fitness list and thought that I would post it on the blog as I wanted to answer the question that I see a lot.

Anyway to get ready for Spring and getting out in shorts and a t-shirt many people think now about losing some weight. Trying to lose weight be it 10 pounds, 20 pounds or even 30 pounds or more can be difficult for you.

I know for a fact (from the emails I get all the time) that if you are finding that you are losing and gaining the same 20 pounds year after year that you are not alone.

The question that people just like you are always asking is:

“What to eat to lose weight?”

The answer that I keep giving time after time is to try out fat loss for Idiots.

What to Eat To Lose Weight

You are probably wondering why I keep writing about fat loss for idiots and you do deserve an answer. Well I wrote an article a few years ago about this diet and was really surprised to find that lots of people were really successful with. First I was really surprised but after a while after 100′s of the same comments I realized why.

What to Eat to Lose Weight

• The online “Diet Generator” asks you what you like and don’t like and then tells you exactly what to eat
• The diet is high in fruit and even has a day dedicated to it
• fat loss for Idiots uses Cycled Eating which means that you follow a diet for 11 days and then eat what you want for 3 before getting back on.

Online Diet Generator – The online generator is a 11 day diet where you answer what you like to eat and what you do not like to eat and it will generate a diet of exactly what to eat to lose weight.

High Fruit and Vegetable Diet – Again this is put right into the diet and will raise the amount of nutrients and water in your diet which will give you better energy and feel better about yourself.

Cycled Eating – Don’t you hate it when you are on a diet and don’t knwo exactly what to eat to lose weight so you keep eating the same thing day after day? Well this diet will give you different foods (although sometimes strange combinations) and after your 11 days you have a three day off cycle where you can eat whatever you want. This confuses your body and helps you lose weight easier.

Lots of people had the same problem of wondering what exactly to eat just like you and you can see in the comments to the post that I wrote that they have been very successful in losing weight.

One of the best things about this diet as well is the price. For $39 you get a lifetime membership. Super cheap, effective, and you can lose your weight before Spring if you start now. And look and feel fantastic for the Summer this year.

You can probably tell that I think this is Awesome. If you have any questions let me know. Also if you buy the diet just email me to let me know and I have a few exercise and fitness ebooks that I will send you as a thank you to help you jump start a newer lighter lifestyle.

I know that this is not the answer that some people are looking for but having a diet generator that will tell you exactly what to eat to lose weight is a big help in getting to your goals.

I’ve been spending a lot of time doing some pre-spring cleaning and things are feeling really good in our home. Cleaning + daily exercise makes me feel like I’m on the right track. I started with the kitchen and dining room which needed a good scrub down and reorganization. Things got really out of control during the holidays and I am always motivated to cook more when everything is clean and in order. Behold:

After taking these photos I realized that it looks more cluttered than it feels in the photos. An empty and clean sink!

Cutting boards, mixer, fruit stand, bento box, one of my many salts, and a photo of Simon (the cat).

Cook books and cooking magazines.

And the dining area (right beside the kitchen):

And there you have it. Our small, but mighty (that’s what she said!) kitchen and dining area. I love our home so much, this space was one of the reasons why I fell in love with our house. It feels like us in here.

I love reading the posts that are popping up recapping 2010 and looking forward to 2011. I looked in my archives for my goals for this past year and couldn’t find anything. I’m sure I wrote something down, but I know one of my main goals was to branch out on my own career-wise. And I did that. I created goals as the year progressed and just went with it.

My best friend Ashley asked us all at our Christmas get-together what we have planned for 2011 and I didn’t have a real answer then. There were things floating around in my head, but nothing concrete. I have some goals that I feel like I must do to progress and other goals that I’d like to strive for, but okay if it’s not perfectly executed.

Off the top of my head here are some things that I want to accomplish and strive for in 2011. Some are vague, and some require more planning:

- Get dressed every day. Working from home allows for a lot of PJ work, which on occasion is nice. I like to be comfortable when I’m at home, but would like to take time in the mornings and get ready for the day. I would also like to photograph daily outfits on this blog for motivation and inspiration.

- Let go of sugar. This is my biggest goal for the year and the one I’m most excited about. I will allow treats on my birthday, anniversary and christmas. If I want a treat it will be in the form of fruit, like whipped frozen bananas or date-nut balls.

- Run a 5k in under 45 minutes and/or run a 5k straight through without walking. Our first 5k this year is march 19th, and will do one again at the end of April. Having a goal makes training have more purpose and I like that.

- Work smarter and harder. Say no. Time Management. From May up until this weekend I’ve had somewhere to be, something to do, something I was cramming for and while I do work best with a deadline, I want to space projects out more. I want to stop cramming empty slots of time with stuff that isn’t productive for me. I’ve gotten better at saying “no” this year. I need time to decompress. I very much enjoy time when I do absolutely nothing, but I want to balance it out with better planning and scheduling. I want to get better at waiting until the last minute to make things happen.

- Finish the bedroom. I want to get this room finished by my birthday. Clothes organized and put away, decorated, and just a nicer room to sleep in.

-ooh! Just thought of another one: cook more! I cook a decent amount, but I’d really love to plan ahead more and try out new recipes.

A lot of individuals nowadays don’t like to cook. Sometimes it appears less complicated just to eat out every night, because of so many take-out shops available or to simply pop a little something in the stove because  there are so many ready dishes available.

And yet have you any idea what is in those meals you might be getting from the shop? Or even precisely what is incorporated in the  take-aways that your family are consuming? Would you have any idea just how much it’s costing  you?

It may be hard, from time to time to get the time to cook or to choose what to put together, that is appealing and also nutritious and easy. But you will find  many very easy, nutritious dishes to choose from that you can experiment with on your household. Many simple ingredients can quickly and easily be turned into delicious wholesome food. Also , they are cheaper than eating out or perhaps buying fast food or perhaps ready dishes. And if you are  worried because of the washing up- there is hardly any!

Why not have a shot at a simple dish together with your next takeaway, simply to discover how uncomplicated it can be?And if you want to encourage yourself to accomplish something, be it  to prepare dinner on a regular basis or perhaps to develop some other good practice- check outFreedup to find ways of getting oneself  to do what you want to attain.

Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are a basic, filling dish, but still extremely tasty. They can be served in lots  of alternatives and even the leftovers can be used up.

Ingredients: Depending on your appetite, use about 2 medium potatoes for each person. You will also need salt and pepper to taste, a knob of butter and a little milk.

Method: Peel the potatoes, and cut them into slices. Put them in cold water until you are ready to use them. Drain off the cold water, put the pieces in a saucepan and cover them with boiling water. Bring the water back to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the potato slices are cooked. (They will be tender when tested about 5 – 10 minutes.) To test if  the potatoes are cooked – use a fork. It should meet no resistance going into the potato  slice. If there is resistance, or the potato tries to grip onto the fork – cook a little longer. Drain the water off the potato slices and put the pan back on the hob at the lowest  temperature, just to dry the potatoes a little. Mash the potatoes (use a potato masher, or a fork) and add the salt, pepper, butter and milk. Mash until smooth. Use alongside your normal meal or even eat them by themselves.

I’ve seen interval training get a lot of attention recently because it is supposed to be a quick way to get fit, in this article we look at what it actually is. Interval training is when you use timed intervals to alternate between two different levels of intensity as you exercise. For example, you could warm up, then go on the treadmill for 1 minute of easy jogging at 7km/h, then crank it up to 14km/h for 1 minute, then go back to 7km/h and repeat that for as long as you want to train for.

The reason this is so good is because if you tried to push yourself to do 14km/h on the treadmill for as long as possible in one session then you might only last a few minutes, then you’d stop because you were exhausted. With interval training then the recovery interval you give yourself after each intense interval allows you to push on and do far more of the intense intervals than you could do if you tried to do them all in one go.

Another thing I have found with interval training is that as you are so focused on waiting for the minute to end so you can change the speed up or down, then time goes by much faster. Usually jogging is incredibly boring for me and after 5 minutes I am fed up and just want it to end, but I don’t get that with interval training.

Interval training is probably a more natural way to exercise anyway, consider sports, when you are close to the action then you are doing an intense interval as you try and get the ball etc, then you get to rest as the action moves away from you. Plus we have actually descended from hunters, and that is how they would have exerted themselves too.

The treadmill was just an example though, you can actually use interval training to spice up almost any kind of exercise, you could be on the elliptical trainer, the rowing machine, or even out on a normal bike on the roads. The good news is that studies suggest your metabolism can be elevated for hours after finishing interval training, rather than returning straight back to normal after most other types of exercise, so you are burning fat for a long time even after you finish your workout!

If you prefer changing your diet to lose weight rather than exercising, then check out Cheat Your Way Thin instead.

I first learned about the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle program a few years ago from a personal trainer I was friends with. I was skeptical, but I trusted my friend, so I ended up getting the burn the fat feed the muscle program. Boy am I ever glad that I did!

When I first started the burn the fat feed the muscle program I was pretty wiped out! I was not sure if I would be able to stick with it for two weeks, but I made a commitment to myself, and I was not going to give up until I had seen it through.

But after that draining first day, guess what? I had a lot more energy! So, I kept going and going, and every day, I started to feel better and better. It was like drinking 3 cups of coffee, without feeling jittery!

After being on the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle program for 12 days, I stepped on the scale, and had lost 5 pounds! My clothes fit so much better. And then, when I saw my personal trainer friend for the first time since going on the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle program, he was absolutely shocked at how I looked.

One thing that I will say about this program is that you may not lose a lot of pounds, but that is because you are going to gain muscle. And muscle weighs more than fat. Besides, weight loss is not the primary goal here, fat loss is. And as the author Tom Venuto explains, that is your number one goal. And this is true for both men and women. If you are a woman, you want to make sure that you try to gain muscle, because increased muscle will burn more fat. As a woman, do not worry about getting too big and bulky, because that is really not possible without supplements.
