WHY CAN'T I LOSE WEIGHT?

Do you dread getting on the scale? Are you tired of being overweight and tired?

Are you trying to lose weight, but it's not coming off? or worse you're putting more on?

This happens to alot of people and one of the biggest reasons is: They are not getting proper nutrition.

If your body is lacking in essential nutrients it will store everything you do eat and save it for when it is needed.   However, if you are consistently not getting enough nutrition, your body will consistently continue to store and turn it into fat.   This can be changed by following a few simple rules:

1:   Do not skip meals ( you can use nutritional meal replacement shakes for breakfast and/or lunch if that helps)

2: Make your calories count, this means don't fill up on empty calories that don't provide nutrition.

3:  Drink plenty of water, the average person needs half their body weight in ounces of water per day (this means if you weigh 200 lbs you need 100 ounces of water)

4:   Snack, yes I said snack.   The best way to boost your metabolism is to keep feeding it, eat something about every 3 to 4 hours.   Now this doesn't mean chowing down on chips and cookies, choose healthy snacks (yogurt, low fat cheeses and some fruits or veggies... you get the pic?)

5:   Choose low fat, low carb and high protein meals.  A trick I learned is to first eat the low fat protein then your veggies and last your carbs (by then you will be full and won't eat too many carbs) 

Well that's all for today! I look forward to sharing more tomorrow.

Enjoy!
