A good diet plan does not have a lot of short-term fixes or gimmicks, instead it has basic elements that have been proven to work. The problem is that we have heard so many tricks thrown around that we have forgotten what the basic building blocks of a good diet plan are. This article cuts through the fluff and shares the 5 no-brainer strategies you must follow.
1. Keep your eating simple and spread out. Eat simple small meals throughout the day. The problem with large meals is that your body cannot use all the food and must store the excess as body fat.
2. Eliminate calories from drinks. These are empty calories and do nothing to help you feel satisfied.
3. Eat your vegetables. Mom was right, vegetables contain copious amounts of fiber which keep your digestive system running smooth and your belly feeling full.
4. Protein - the forgotten nutrient. Think of protein as your best friend when you are putting together a good diet plan. Not only will you feel better when you include protein in each meal but you will also preserve your lean muscle mass which allows your fat-burning metabolism to run.
5. Shift your carbohydrates to the mornings. This one might not be a "no-brainer" but it will give your weight loss a terrific boost. The old school notion of no carbs has gone out the window and it has been replaced with an equally effective yet much more sane recommendation which is to eat your carbs early and avoid them in the afternoon and evening.
Why does this work? Carbohydrates are your body's first choice for energy so if you constantly have them floating in your system your body will always choose them and neglect other sources such as burning body fat. Take them away and your body must turn to body fat. A great thing!
A good diet plan starts with these 5 basic strategies, once you get them solid in your daily diet you are ready to get creative.
