The Top 5 Nutrition Tips To Help You Lose Fat!

Hey there Guys and Gals,

You know, although this is primarily a fitness and training site, it really doesn’t matter one little bit how many programs you use or how well you follow the information contained in them when it comes to losing weight and getting fit if your nutrition and diet is poor.

I am sure many of you would have heard the quote “You can’t out train a bad diet.” Here at BestFitnessChoices.com there are many programs and heaps and heaps of info on the right methods to use and how to exercise efficiently in order to lose weight and improve your fitness. As said above, they all mean squat if your diet is full of overly processed food, sugary drinks and treats and of course, fatty, high cholesterol foods that cancel out your exercise and workouts. Even heavy weightlifting, regular cardio and high intensity interval training workouts can not reverse the wrongs of bad food and drink choices.

With this in mind, do yourself a favour and ensure that you limit the amount of these bad foods you consume. A treat here and there is fine, especially if that small release once in a while helps you stay on the nutritional straight and narrow! Remember, one Krispy Kreme donut can land you nearly a whole hour on the treadmill! Is it really worth it?

For most of us, correct nutrition is a battlefield especially for us emotional eaters (that’s me!) Below is a great article from the creator of Turbulence Training, Craig Ballantyne with his top 5 nutritional tips that can help you lose fat.

Enjoy!

5 Nutrition Tips for Fat Loss

By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

As a fitness professional, this is always hard to admit, but nutrition is actually more important than your workouts when it comes to fat loss.

And since diet is more important than exercise, I’ve decided to spend a lot of time sharing nutrition tips this week, starting with these 5 diet secrets:

1) Your nutrition program doesn’t have to be extreme.

Don’t go crazy and jump into any extreme diet changes. Just ensure the nutrition plan you’ve chosen is sustainable and can be continued over a long period of time. Simple diet changes can have a much greater impact than you might think.

A great idea is to simply eat more whole, natural foods rather than trying to go on an impossible-to-stick-to ultra-low carb extreme plan?

2) Get the temptations and junk food out of the house.

To heck with willpower! If it’s in your house, you’ll eat it…and trust me, this goes for me too. Each time I visit a friend or relative’s house for holiday, I always end up snacking on the treats they have sitting around. That’s why I keep the junk out of my house.

So whatever your weakness is, chocolate, crisps, sweets or savories, keep it out of arms reach and this means – all the way out of your whole house!

Success really can be that simple!

3) Fill in your diet-killing” gap.

For a lot of people, the diet-killing gap is between work and dinner.

For others, it’s between dinner and bedtime, but for almost everyone, there is some specific point in the day when we suffer from mindless eating.

To counter this, make sure you have alternatives…as soon as you come home from work, cut up vegetables and dip them into hummus. This will keep you full and only add a small amount of calories to your total daily consumption.

After dinner, if you feel the need for something sweet, stir up chocolate protein powder into a small bit of plain yogurt. This will satisfy you and control the sweetness cravings.

4) Remember what your parents told you and chew your food 5-10 times before swallowing.

Most people eat so fast they only chew about 1-2 times. Add a few more chews and you’ll really notice a difference and you’ll slow your eating helping you feel full.

5) Have a bowl of broth-based vegetable soup before a meal.

American researcher Barbara Roll has published a lot of studies showing that this will help you reduce the overall amount of  food you eat. Surprisingly, consuming just water before your meal doesn’t seem to have the same effect.

So those are just 5 of the diet secrets we have for you this year.

Stay tuned for more proven secrets to help you lose fat in 2010 and beyond!
