Return of the Fat...

Have you ever known anyone, who made a decision to go on a diet, actually stuck to it until
they lost the all the weight the wanted to?

Only to run into them a few months later and find that they had gained all of it back...plus more?

Has this ever happened to you?

It doesn't have to be that way...

You can Program Yourself Thin

One of the reasons that this happens over and over again is because people have not been taught how to use their brains effectively.

EVERY PERSON... is a master at maintaining their weight perfectly.

Granted they may be 20kgs too heavy, but they are able to stay within 2 to 3 kgs of their their usual weight, without much thought.

You see we have an internal setting that automatically controls our weight.

When you change this setting through the Mental Programming Techniques for Weight Loss.

Your habits begin to change automatically and you find that your body begins transforming
before your eyes with barely a thought.

Now, when you notice those people that lose the weight only to gain it all back...

You are looking at people that made the tragic mistake of not changing the self image they have
on the inside, to one of a thin person.

And...

the mind rejects this new body because it doesn't match up with the person they believe they are on the inside.

Remember... we are built to be successful.

It is only a matter of understanding how to Use Our Mind Correctly to Keep the Weight Off.

It's never too late to transform your body.
It just starts with a decision to Program Yourself Thin

Make Smart Food Choices to Lose Weight and Keep it Off

PROTEIN:

Did you know the large majority of your body is protein?
80% of your body is protein.

It is a no brainer that you must include adequate amount of protein to your daily diet.

If you don't you will suffer from low energy, weak immune system, hormonal imbalance, premature aging....
The worst of all When there is not enough protein in your diet, your body actually uses protein from its own tissues, breaking down your hard-earned muscles, organs, etc..

When you reduce your lean muscle you reduce your metabolism and you'll burn less calories.
It is so important that you look after your protein intake.

FATS:

We don't like to hear this word, but there are some fats that are essential to our normal body function.

Fat has twice more calories than other types of foods, but your body needs some fat.

So be careful not to go for Fat-Free products as they have so much carbohydrate.

Good fats are unsaturated fats. You can find them in foods such as olives, avocados, extra-virgin olive oil, safflower oil, flax oil, nuts..etc.

Bad Fats are the ones that clog arteries and increase your cholesterol levels and blood pressure. You can find them in meats, dairy products, lard and cream.

STAY AWAY FROM ALL SATURATED FATS!

CARBOHYDRATES:

All carbohydrates eventually turn into sugar when they are broken down and absorbed by your body.

You need Carbohydrates as a primary source of fuel and essential to your survival.

Carbohydrates can be found in fruits, vegetables, rice, pasta, beans... etc

Simple carbohydrates are very easy to absorb by your body. They are the worst kind of carbohydrates to eat.

Complex carbohydrates take the longer to break down hence longer-lasting release of energy.

Did you know that the most fattening food type after fat is carbohydrates?


How should you pick your food types for life-long wellness and weight loss?

1. Add more protein to your diet. (Contact Damayanthi to find out your personalized protein grams per day)
2. Eat few table spoons of good fats
3. Eliminate all bad fats4. Eliminate white flour, rice, pasta and sugars
   

This may sounds like a challenge to most of you, but when you take the right amount of protein and drink 6-8 glasse of water you will enjoy eating well when you start seeing the results.

Reading Food Labels

Reading food labels is not interesting for most of us.

Most of the time when we are shopping (or doing anything for that matter) we are in a hurry and don't pay much attention to reading food labels.
I know it is not an easy task the food manufacturers try their best to confuse us as much as possible.

If you want to be healthy, you need to eat healthy so make an effort to find out what you are eating.

Basic things you need to be aware of or pay attention to:

• Serving size
• Grams of Fat
• Trans Fat / hydrogenated fat
  
• Saturated fat
• Carbohydrate
• Sugar
• Fiber
  
• Sodium

Without me going on and talking about all these I am linking the following 2 videos done by health experts on label reading.

This one gives an overview and a basic understanding of label reading

This one helps us to understand how food manufactures manipulate the system to give acceptable labels to consumers.
