Here are a handful of effective strategies to maximize weight loss and fat loss results:
Take more protein. Protein protects your muscles from breakdown especially when your body calories are down. It also stimulates the production of glucagon secretion which will aid in freeing stored energy for the body.
Eat 5-6 small meals a day. Break the 3 big meals habit into 5-6 small meals a day. More frequent feedings will give your body a constant source of nutrients to metabolize. This helps prevent catabolism or muscle breakdown whenever you are deficient of calories. It also helps you control your hunger and cravings because you are constantly taking in food.
Go with the greens. Green leafy vegetables are great friends when it comes to weight loss. They are full of fibers that keeps you feel full. They also counteract the acidic effect of proteins; thus, it balances your body’s acid levels to keep you performing at your best condition. Greens can also detoxify and cleanse your liver.
Eat starches when needed. Save starches especially after workouts. Your muscles need a source of energy for repair. Never lose the needed carbohydrates especially during workouts or you will starve your muscles, thus, impedes muscle growth. Good sources come from fruits, green vegetables, beans, brown rice, quinoa, and so on.
Eat nutrition dense foods. Eat foods that are dense in nutrients and avoid those foods that are high in calories. For instance, prefer wheat bread over white bread. Other foods that are nutrient dense are cabbage, lettuces, kale, broccoli, and spinach.
Drink enough water. Never dehydrate your cells. You need water to transport the different needed nutrients to the other parts of the body. Lack of water may also result to acid accumulation in the body or on the muscle areas.
You need fats. Stay away from unhealthy fats like trans fats, reduce your saturated fat intakes, and take more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats coming from these good sources like olive oil, fish oil, flax seed oil, and nuts. Always check the food labels for fats.
Never overeat or eat unplanned. Always plan your meals in a week including the foods you need to eat during snacks or break times. Never eat foods that are never found in your plan.
Stay away from nutritional vices. Clear your fridge from those chips, sodas, ice creams, and other high dense sugars. However, provide a cheat day where you can eat small amounts of them. This still holds your body in nutritional balance but it also cuts your food cravings.
Read food labels. Before you bring them at home, be sure that they are healthy to eat in the first place. Educate yourself of the nutrients you get from the food compared to the nutrients you need to get daily.
Lastly, integrate all of these strategies into your workout plan. These strategies will never be effective if you are not doing some workouts. Whether you want to reduce cellulite, lose weight and fats, or feel healthy, you still need to exercise rather than putting them all to your eating habits.
