At first, you may notice that paying attention to everything you eat seems like a chore, but soon it will become second nature. Make a point of sitting down to eat, away from your desk, away from the telephone, away from the television. Be mindful of the food you put in your mouth. This diet is made up of the finest, purest foods there are. It is a luxury to eat this way. You deserve the very best. This diet makes that happen. Make a conscious choice not to eat junk food. Eliminate white flour and sugar from your diet in all combinations. Portion control is perhaps the biggest challenge for those of us who have been living on the so-called Western diet in which the super-sized portions have created a nation of overfed, undernourished people. If you learn to manage your portions, you won't have to count calories. Buy yourself a scale and weigh meats and cheeses to get accustomed to serving sizes. This will help you when you go out to eat where most so-called portion are at least twice and sometimes three times the amount of food needed for nourishment. a. 2 ounces of meat is about the size of the palm of your hand b. 1 ounce of cheese is about the size of a domino Start your day with a hot cup of tea or coffee. This stimulates the digestive system and will help you to feel full faster. If you have trouble drinking the amount of water you need, buy yourself a 64 ounce sports bottle and fill it up. By the end of the day, make sure you have drunk every drop. Drinking water before a meal also helps you to feel fuller. Try this in a restaurant. Ask for water when you sit down, and drink down the whole glass before the food arrives. Making your metabolism work better and regulating your glucose depends on regular small servings of high protein, high fat meals. This will stop your cravings in their tracks. You won't get those desperate urges for junk food from the machine, or the deli down on the corner. Becoming mindful of your body is often a new thing for people who have had years of overweight. Many people stop looking at themselves in the mirror. They don't ever experience their body as being 'empty'. They confuse hypoglycemia which is a status wherein your blood sugars have dropped precipitously, warning you that you're about to go into shock with hunger. A body that is well nourished and receiving sufficient protein on a regular basis through out the day, will regulate itself. You will burn fat. You will never feel hungry. You can trust your body which, given a chance, can regulate itself. You will soon cast long, loving looks at yourself in the mirror, because you will look GREAT. Exercise: It's Easier Than You Think Now that many of us are planted in front of a computer for 8 or more hours a day, the notion of exercise may seem impossible. But, if you stop and think of your normal day's activities you may see how you can tuck in some exercise with out too much effort. 1. Walk it Off. You don't have to go crazy here, just take a brisk 15 minute walk sometime during the day. Walk your dogs. Walk on your lunch hour. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park in the spot FARTHEST from the Mall. If you have an exercise bike in the basement, jump on it for 15 minutes. Whatever you do, try to get your heart rate up and pounding. 2. Strength Training. You may be getting strength training in your daily life. Got a toddler you're carrying around? Hauling groceries in the house on a daily basis? Pushing a heavy vacuum cleaner? Gardening? All these exercises build strength. But for a more focused exercise plan give yourself 15 minutes a day OK, go ahead. Multitask. Watch the news on tv while you're making yourself stronger. Use a couple 3 pound weights and do some lifts and pull ups. Use an exercise rope and do some bicep curls, or front raises. Start out doing 10 and work up to 25 reps. Lay on the floor and do some old fashioned sit ups. 10 to start and up to 20. Just feel the burn and keep at it. You'll make yourself stronger. Sleep it off Get a full 8 hours of rest. Every night.
