Changing your Diet

Today was an off day, but I wanted to talk a little about diet. I know for me to be able to meet my weight lose goals, exercise alone will not be enough.

I will start small, the first thing I will do is try to eat smaller meals more often. Smaller meals will help keep me feeling like I have enough to eat so I don’t pig out. Starving is NOT the way to lose weight. If you don’t get enough food you body goes into starvation mode and will save all the calories it can. That is defiantly something we want to avoid. At this point I want to change a little at a time so smaller meals more often is a good start.

I will also try to watch what I eat, instead of the breaded chicken breast; I just have the grilled… Starting with the little things will help me stick with the new changes. I know if I change my diet too much to fast I will burn out and fall back into the rut I was in before!

At some point I will have to count calories but for now baby steps.
