I’m not referring to diet in the traditional sense, I’m referring to a lifestyle change that you can do for the rest of your life.  You don’t need a diet program anyway, you need a long term eating plan.

You can lose weight on any diet but how many people can keep this weight off?

I’ll be the first to say that my eating habits could use some changes.  I’ve been doing better lately and have incorporated more fruits and vegetables, getting more fiber into my “diet.”

Besides make you feel fuller, obviously the fiber helps cleanse your insides, making it easier to absorb the proper nutrients from your food.

My other big change is to cut back drastically on my sugar intake, particularly the amount of pop I drink.  If you aren’t in the Midwest you may refer to it as soda, but the amount of sugar and all the sodium and chemicals help to keep you bloated and heavier than necessary.

And don’t get me started on Diet Coke.  Is it just me or are most diet pop drinkers usually pretty overweight.

I may not understand all the intricate details of how this occurs, but most people who consume these “diet” drinks consume several throughout their day and are rarely very lean.

Bottom line – if you want to drop some weight and be healthier at the same time – drink more water!

So I’ve cut recently cut back to 1 pop daily with the resolve to cut it out completely (started that a few days ago) and get much leaner.  Like some of you, I also enjoy my “comfort” foods and this has been one of my weaknesses.

I’ll be the first to admit that eating for fat loss isn’t my forte, which is why I’m going to get some help from a fat loss nutrition expert and probably share some of her insights with you.

What I can advise is to cut out processed foods and eat more natural foods, which are high in fiber and nutritional value, like more fruits and vegetables and healthy fats like ground flaxseed meal.

Flaxseed has Omega-3 fats, which unless you’ve been living under a rock, are being recommended by everyone for increasing your health.

Besides the high fiber content in flaxseed, it contains an ingredient called lignans, which is an antioxidant and may possibly decrease your risk of colon or breast cancer.

So stay tuned as I strive to make changes in my health and you can be sure to keep getting information on time efficient fitness and fat loss programs.

Get moving!
