Good Nutrition like everything else does not have to be complicated, simple is better.

Follow these simple rules for 2 to 3 months and you will be amazed at the results.

1. Revise your Cupboard.

Simple Rule: If Man Made it Don’t Eat It.

If it is not in your house you can’t eat it. Rid your kitchen of processed foods and snacks.

Do not fall for marketing that claim low-fat, low-sugar, low-carbohydrate. Too many companies manipulate labels and they are hard to figure out. Keep your cupboard simple.

Chicken, tuna, vegetables (fresh, frozen and canned are fine), fresh fruits, and complex carbohydrates consisting of whole wheat, brown rice, yams, oatmeal (not the processed quick cook kind). Use plenty of herbs and spices so your meals don’t get boring.

2. Handy Gauge

Simple Rule: Use Your Hand to Gauge How Much to Eat.

Do not count calories, weigh food or other methods that make eating difficult. A fist or palm sized amount of lean protein along with a fist-sized amount of a complex carb (brown rice, oatmeal, and whole wheat) and fist sized serving of vegetable or fruit.

3. Eat Less More Often.

Simple Rule: Eat every 3 hours.

Eating nutritious smaller meals and snacks every few hours will keep your metabolism high all day long with a steady supply of energy. Do not eat out, take all your food to work.

4. Water Yourself

Simple Rule: Drink twice as often as you eat.

Water makes everything in our bodies work better. This cannot be understated. The first thing you should do every morning when you get up is drink a glass of water.

5. Friendly Fats

Simple Rule: Friendly Fats Fight Fat.

Consume friendly fats (2 to 5 tbsp.) 2 times a day. Reduce bad fats found in meat, cheese, butter, margarine, shortening and whole milk. Eliminate fried foods and snacks.

Your friendly fats are linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6) found in fish and some nuts. The easiest and best way to consume these friendly fats is to buy Flax Seed Oil, Hemp Seed Oil or Udo’s Choice Perfected Oil Blend. Do not cook with these oils but mix them with food you are ready to eat. You can also add CLA supplements to your diet.

6. Nutrients

Simple Rule: Mother Nature Provides the Best Fat Fighters

Take a multivitamin and be sure to get plenty of Calcium through low-fat dairy sources.

Consume 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight (one chicken breast can have 40-45 grams of protein). Consume 35 grams of fiber a day (good sources are bran, brown rice, beans and green vegetables).

Nutrition and weight loss can be simple.

Increase the speed of your fat loss by exercising 30 minutes a day or for 1 hour every other day. Please add a weight lifting routine.
