Some Quick Tips from Your Diet Coach

How many times have you starved yourself into either not losing weight or even gaining the weight back from your latest diet plan. 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 is defending against you starving it. It is a natural occurrence in all people and it can be the biggest nutrition mistake you can make. Remember to EAT, but make sure that you are doing the following healthy meal plan tips.

• Reduce caloric intake no more than 500 from your maintenance levels.
• Eat more early and less later – Breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day.
• Eat 5-6 small meals daily
• Eat every 3 hours
• Make a concerted effort to minimize starchy carb intake later in the day, increasing both protein and fibrous carbohydrates as you get closer to bedtime.
• Balance is the key – Not too much protein, fat or carbs
• Eat high quality lean proteins – Fish, lean Poultry and very lean red meats
• Eat high quality Carbs – 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 – No extra salt added to your meal plan
• 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.
• Supplement as necessary. Know what YOU need to get from nutritional supplementation.
