You should see the reactions people give when I say they should eat their weight off. What expressions! Then I explain to them how starvation diets don’t work and why they and millions of other people are still struggling to lose weight and keep it off. One of the reasons people are out of shape and more fat than ever is because of today’s mindset of attaining faster than normal results and easy to do diets.

However, the bigger reason is simply poor eating habits. We’ll cover bad eating habits in just a few but for now, do yourself a favor and eliminate the mindset of the fast and easy to do diet mentality. Instead, consider initiating an efficient and effective eating plan. You should then focus on a never giving up attitude for long-term and steady results.

What does an eating plan do that starvation diets does not?

An eating plan gives you a strategic program designed to implement all the important aspects of proper nutrition with complete balance. It is important to consume only the necessary caloric intake your body needs, while receiving the adequate amounts of carbohydrates, lean proteins, fats, and water, all of which are very important in attaining your weight loss goals.

This is why the three-meal-a-day myth is old-fashioned and out-dated. It is very difficult to consume the calories and nutrients needed for successful weight control by eating only three meals a day. If you really want to lose weight, you must consume four to six smaller meals a day. Eating only three meals, a day makes you a fat-storing machine instead of a fat-burning machine. There are four reasons why eating properly is so very important:

(1) It increases your metabolism by preventing your body from going into starvation mode,

(2) It gives your body the energy required to perform its daily activities,

(3) It maintains or increases muscle mass to help shape and tone, and

(4) It gives your body the necessary nutrients to survive.

Essentially, eating can make or break your chances of changing your body. Every day I pose these important questions to my clients: Did you eat breakfast this morning? Did you consume three square meals and two snacks today? Did you eat enough protein? Did you consume enough energy foods i.e. complex carbohydrates for your workout today? Ideally, they answer yes to all these questions and that would be a positive indicator as to how well they are implementing their eating plan to change their bodies.
