Basic Principles For Eating & Dieting

The right way to lose weight!
Eating a well-balanced healthy diet can become a bit of a chore especially when you have to fit all the recommended nutrients and the five a day into a normal busy day. It can be difficult to say the least even for the most dedicated individual. Most of us are aware that cutting calories to a ridiculously low level and skipping meals isn’t the right way to lose weight.

Eating the right type of calories frequently is essential to weight loss programmes. The more calories you cut the more stress it is for your body. Did you know your body would eat itself if you didn’t feed it? All your hormones would become out of flux, fat-storing hormones would increase and the body would tell your thyroid to slow down, as a natural protective mechanism for the body to keep what little fuel it has to live on and survive.

The key here is to plan your diet in advance to prevent you from either skipping meals or reaching for something you know you shouldn’t be eating.

A well balanced diet should be as natural as possible and void of processed foods. The more you practise preparing meals the easier it will become. Try Google for simple meal ideas for healthy eating and inspiration. Remember there are no rules only principles you need to worry about.
