Diet Food

It's that time of year again. As the new year is rising on the horizon, we are all thinking how we might do things a little different in the coming year. Maybe this year you will pen a book you have been talking about. Or is this the year that you are going to upgrade that kitchen and bath? We all start the year with lots of resolutions to make the next year even better.

What is the number one resolution most people make? Is it reading more books, studying your Bible daily, playing more video games?

One of the most popular New Years Resolution is to loose weight. Burn off that fat that has accumulated around your waist or hips. How many actually keep their resolutions? Very few.

If you are planning on loosing weight, what is your plan?

Many people start a diet with the first 3 letters of the word, diet. They slowly die from starvation. Stop eating everything for a time period. I actually used to go 7 days straight without eating a single bite. Did I loose weight, yes. Did I keep it off, no. I didn't learn to eat right, I only quit eating. Once I started eating again, I would once again resort to my old eating habits. Smaller portions to start, but gradually the old habits always return. I didn't learn anything about how to loose weight.

What can you do different than starvation? Maybe we need to change that word diet. Having the first three letters of the word spell die isn't very encouraging. We need to say instead, lifestyle changes. Burn fat, burn off calories, fight the bulge do anything but dieting. I don't want to die.

Do you have a plan? Are you depending on pills to enable you to loose weight? Are you following a fat burning program you have seen advertised? You will see many other ways to burn fat in the next couple of months. Many programs will be advertised. The market is ripe.

Many of these programs will help you. They will even teach you how to maintain your weight, learn new ways of eating. Some people may over react, starving themselves to death as I did. Eventually most learn that starving oneself isn't the best way.

To start with, you need to know the dietary items that help you to gain weight. Do you have a hard time pushing yourself away from the dinner table? Do you eat bread, potatoes and a starchy vegetable with your dinner most of the time? Are deserts late at night your downfall?

I heard the other day that if you want to eat carbohydrates like potatoes, bread, crackers and deserts, it is best to eat them before 3pm. Later than that, you may not be able to burn down the excessive fat. After 3pm, you tend to become lethargic. A person is usually less active in the evening. What is our biggest meal of the day? Dinner or supper as some call it. When do we eat it? Usually most eat it after 5pm. Dinner is usually full of carbohydrates. This makes dinner so much harder to burn off.

It is very important for you to exercise regularly. Don't do it too late in the day. Going off to bed after exercising can cause sleeping problems. Exercise can be almost like drinking a cup of coffee. It is very motivating. It is very uncommon to sleep after that.

Remember, after you loose the weight, you need to continue burning fat daily if you want to keep the weight off. Making a lifestyle change will benefit you most.

Keep that New Years Resolution this year. Make that your newest resolution. You will be happier and healthier in the long run.
