This time we have invited an expert in nutrition and fitness, Atenea Lara, with 6 years of experience. She will share some secrets to success.
Hope you like it:
Why don’t we see results when we really try to eat better and exercise
more? Actually there are many factors that may be affecting the speed of your
progress ... however there are some “small details” that when we put them together
make a BIG difference.
It’s not fair that your efforts to eat better and exercise don’t give
any results due to “small“ or “harmless mistakes”. I share them here for you to
pay attention and observe yourself!
HAVING HEALTHY FOOD AS SNACKS:
Eating a stick of celery, cucumber, one little plum, an apple, etc. The
fact that something is healthy does not mean it contains no calories! You need
to pay close attention to distinguish whether you are eating out of hunger or
anxiety.
If it’s hunger, it's best to have an earlier mealtime and if it’s anxiety,
try to do small activities to keep you distracted and away from food.
SKIPPING MEALS:
When you skip meals you will NOT lose weight faster, but your metabolism
will slow down. Removing food groups from your diet (such as
"carbohydrates" or "proteins") will change the way you
process food and can cause vitamin or mineral deficiency affecting your health.
FILLERS:
Chewing gum all day, using artificial sweeteners in excess and drinking light
soda at each meal affects your results! While these tools are useful in times
of anxiety, they can become enemies when trying to create order in our eating
habits.
These “harmless” products are made from chemicals, many of which are SO
processed that our body discards them as they enter, but that does NOT mean
they do not cause damage ranging from cancer to water retention.
I recommend you use less than 2 packets of artificial sweeteners, less
than 3 sugarless gums a day and a diet soda only every 3rd day.
Next week will talk about 3 more "small" mistakes that hinder
our efforts.
See you!
