MORRISTOWN, NJ.- I want to discuss the importance of healthy eating and how it affects your body and well-being during workouts. Many of you often forget that consuming a healthy diet significantly impacts reaching your weight loss and fitness goals.
Many of you are unaware that undereating can also negatively impact your body. You may think that losing weight means eating less and working out more, but this is often not true. Doing so may even slow your metabolism, making losing weight more complex.
As mentioned in my last article, my weight has fluctuated over the past few years, and I struggled to find what works best for me and my goals. I get asked almost daily what my secret is or what I did to reduce my weight, and my answer is simple: consistency. Everybody and our bodies are different, so finding what works best for you will help you astronomically. I know it's easier said than done, but sticking to a diet and workout plan and staying consistent will help you finally make a change.
Since the start of the new year, I have lost around 25 pounds and achieved my goal to the point where I feel more confident by staying consistent.
Today, there are many "fad" diets out there that many follow, like eating no carbohydrates or just consuming meat and proteins to help you reduce your weight rapidly. Unfortunately, once you stop that diet and return to eating normally, your body will put that weight back quicker than you can imagine. You should never deprive yourself of your favorite foods or snacks; just have them in moderation.
Many friends and clients find it crazy that I occasionally indulge in fast food and sweets. When they ask for help with what to eat, I always tell them to have a balanced meal consisting of proteins, carbohydrates, and either fruit or vegetables.
Your protein, whether it's chicken, red meat, seafood, or tofu, should be the main focus of your meal. A high-protein diet is a great way to start weight loss and a healthier well-being.
Proteins are the building blocks for your bones and muscles, which means they help grow and repair your muscles after working out. A good rule to follow is to consume about 1 gram of protein per one pound of your body weight. The breaking down proteins in your body helps promote weight and fat loss while maintaining muscle mass, so providing your body with enough proteins to sustain healthy bone structure and muscle mass is essential.
In conclusion, there is no miracle way to lose weight fast, but small lifestyle changes can make a huge impact. Throughout the upcoming weeks, I will discuss healthy eating for fitness and the benefits of eating during certain times of the day, which has also helped me a lot. I will also provide you with some healthy recipes and some of my high-protein meals and snacks.
