Making Life Style Changes One Change At A Time

Be Sure the bacon is nitrate free.

Whether you are a person who likes to make life_ style changes all at once or One decision at a time, neither is the right way, we just are different people with different personalities and we like to do things differently. Now I am one of those slow but sure people who like to take one decision at a time to make life-style changes. I started by practicing eating breakfast. Now I could not get myself to even eat breakfast at home, not a slice of toast or a yogurt. I had to go to a restaurant and buy breakfast for a month and then I had created a habit to eat breakfast. So I began there. I then began to eat only things in their natural state. If it looked like it was produced in a factory I just did not eat it. Waiting until you get used to one change before making the next is a good idea. Whatever you do, you should start seeing results right away, because each step can have a powerful effects.

1. To start with eat more protein. It will help rev up your metabolism High protein eating plans can boost your metabolism by 100 calories per day.

2. Eating high protein will cause you to eat less calories from other sources. 3.You do not have to measure these proteins but it is a good idea to keep a food journal at first. Choose one that keeps track of supplements too.

4. Eat healthy oils most people eat fats that are really unhealthy for them. Like Refined vegetable oils are also problematic. They have a different composition than other more natural fats, being unnaturally high in Omega-6 fatty acids. This includes corn oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil and several others.

5. Choose fats that are mostly saturated and/or monounsaturated. Grass-fed butter, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil and others. Whole nuts are an excellent source of fat as well.

6. Eat fish or meat at dinner, if you like starchy vegetables like rice and potatoes, eat those then too, with one or two side veggies.

7. Eat six small meals a day and two snacks. You will not be hungry at any time. That is why most people go off their eating plans is they are just plain hungry.

8. I read a study that showed people who ate eggs for breakfast versus a group that ate bagels and cream cheese in the morning. The egg eaters lost about 2 pounds a week. Not a significant weight loss but it shows that you can drop pounds by just making this small change.

9. Use a smaller plate and trick your brain into thinking that you are eating more than you think you are.

10. Eat less carbs studies consistently show that people who eat less carbs loss more weight than those who eat more protein.

Take all the time you need to change these decisions into habits. Until you have formed a habit of eating a new way it may be hard but once you have changed your decisions into habits then it will be easy. By making a few simple changes that optimize hormones, reduce hunger and boost metabolism, you can lose a lot of weight without ever counting a single calorie.
