Healthy Meal Planning for Fat Burning

Bet you didn’t expect to hear this. Yes! If you can get yourself to eat more often, you will be well on your way to burning more fat. Obviously, this comes with some rules. How many times have you or someone you know, gone on a “diet” only to begin by starving themselves? Doesn’t work. Nor do fad diets. The latest craze diet is a great gimmick, but guess what, we are getting fatter each and every day as a society. How can that be? Simple really……

Most diets and most people make a huge mistake and cut so many calories out of their meal plans that they put their bodies into what we call protection or starvation mode. Yes, your body has a natural defense mechanism that keeps you from starvation. You must EAT. Of course you must do so while following some healthy nutritional tips.

We have decided to provide you with some simple tips that can get you started. Choose 3-5 tips from the below list to start. Put a determined effort into following those tips that you choose and once you have put together seven straight days of concerted effort into those 3-5 tips, add 1-2 more. Repeat the process. Learn as much as you can along the way about making good nutritional choices.

• Determine your average caloric intake. This is not difficult at all.
• Learn what your portion sizes should be. It’s not always necessary to count calories.
• Create a reduction from your normal caloric intake by cutting out one thing at each meal.
• Eat breakfast. Do not skip this meal. It starts your body’s furnace.
• Eat more early and less later – Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day.
• Eat 5-6 small meals daily.
• Eat every 2-3 hours.
• Do not eat within 2 hours before bedtime.
• Do not eat carbohydrates alone.
• Balance is the key – Not too much protein, fat or carbohydrates.
• Eat high quality lean proteins at every meal- fish, lean Poultry and very lean red meats.
• Eat high quality carbohydrates – 100% Whole Grains, high in fiber.
• Drink plenty of Water – Green Tea and Low or No calorie fluids.
• Keep Sugar to a minimum – Use Splenda or Stevia as a sugar alternative.
• Keep sodium in check – Do not add extra salt to your meals. Eat foods from the most natural state possible – Processed foods tend to have lots of preservatives, sugar, salt, fat, and those things that make you gain weight.
