The Right Way to Eat

The Right Way to Eat

            Many people try to lose weight by basically starving themselves or by following some ridiculous diet that makes you feel like crap.  No one wants to do this so I’m making a post about the best way to lose weight but still feel good and still get gains in weight lifting.  You don’t even have to starve yourself.

            So the first thing you need to do is always continue your weight lifting routine and even if you feel like you need it you should give a more vigorous exercise plan.  What most people always forget is that they workout and eat on a diet and forget that they lose a lot of calories from their exercise so that they can actually eat more than they might have once thought because of the intense calorie and fat burning from exercise.  Because of the intensity in your workout all you have to do is give a loose estimate of your calorie intake.  The best way to figure out how many calories to eat is to take a day or two and change absolutely nothing in your daily routine and at the end of the day count up all the calories you ate.  Then reduce your calorie intake by about 500 to 1000 calories a day off of what you calculated from your days of regular calorie intake.  It might sound like a lot but it actually gets very easy if you stay with it and it becomes a habit and second nature. 

            Another thing that is very important to remember is that your stomach burns the food you eat constantly and it burns fat while it is almost empty.  Take advantage of this by eating five meals a day instead of three.  You get to eat five times a day but you are really eating about the same amount of food you would usually eat in a three meal day.  You just spread it out throughout the day.  By doing this you are never making yourself completely full so that your stomach is spending a lot more time burning fat than it is breaking down food.  The joyous thing about this is that you really aren’t eating less food you are only eating it at different times during the day, and doing this you should never go hungry.        

            About the only bummer about all of this is that you do have to watch what you eat and stay away from fatty junking foods.  Although one of the huge perks to this system is that you can decide to either workout harder or do more intense cardio for the day and you can eat more food because of all the extra calories burned off beforehand or you can even eat junk food a little bit and not feel guilty about it.

            So no more calorie counting, empty stomachs, or broken wills, this system works and you can still feel great during it.  This system could change your life and make you lose a lot of weight or fat.  Remember, we’re all in this together, keep your stick on the ice.
