How to Lose Weight without Lifting a Weight: Hidden Extras
- Simple changes, maximum effect
- Learn the real secrets of fitness
My main goal with RYPT was to create fitness that is sustainable, in moderation, enjoyable and also helps improve lives via education without taking short cuts!
Enlightening the actual truth about fitness is far more powerful than copying what other people do and hoping it works: understanding is the real deal breaker.
Lesson 7: Food
As far as the series has gone so far, you can probably tell by now that the simplest changes are the most effective.
This is particularly the case when it comes to watching what you are consuming. Foods like sugars, salts and carbohydrates all contribute to weight gain and potentially health issues. Yes, whilst the easiest to eat foods are normally in these categories, it shouldn’t detract from you making extra consideration for how healthy they actually are.
Even a couple of extra treats per day add up the sugar content. When you consider that cereal bars are 1/5 sugar then you realise how quickly you will hit you recommended levels even eating some “healthier foods.”
If you’re reading this and you get massive energy swings then it could well be down to what you are eating. Crashing mid morning or mid afternoon is a sign of high levels of sugar and / or caffeine (see the previous edition for more).
It’s easy to become paranoid about food and that shouldn’t be the case. Following a couple of simple guidelines, you will be able to feel healthier immediately:
At least 5 portions of fruit / vegetables per day
At least two litres of water per day
Protein source before carbohydrates at main meals
Ration sugars where possible
And plan your day’s meals in advance.
Being aware of what you are consuming is the first step to success. It’s amazing how much we consume without being fully conscious of it. Even taking a couple days per week and logging what you eat (my recommendation is the MyFitnessPal free app) will help immeasurably.
Not monitoring is the first stage to weight gain as it spirals out of control. Try this simple trick to assist with your fitness goals and in conjunction with previous week’s blogs you’ll be on the path to success.
Short but sweet (although hopefully not too much) for today’s blog!
Above all, alterations should be steady, sustainable, enjoyable and moderated changes – the ethos of RYPT.
Remember, RYPT is about sustainability, moderation and enjoyment! There are no fads or shortcuts, just facts.
