There is a major link between when you eat and your health, but eating the right amounts at the right times can also have a major effect on your body shape. Eating a small meal in the morning, when your body is coming off its longest time without food, and then following that up with a small lunch will make you intensely hungry and eat more than is necessary in the evening when you don’t need it.

In the morning your cells are empty after fasting all night while repairing and generating new tissues in the body. This is the time the body is waiting for food to come in so it can be put to work to prepare for the activity of the day ahead. Eating much of your daily calories in the morning will give your body what it needs to replenish the stores in the cells and muscle so that it can put it to work as you go to work.

Sugar is known to be a major cause of weight gain and the inability to lose weight. Reducing or eliminating processed sugar from your diet is an extremely powerful thing you can do to experience more lasting energy and get better results from your training program.

In this post I just wanted to go over some things you should know to help your sessions run smoothly for everyone.

The human body often accumulates toxins in fat- Some toxins are known to store in the fat in your body, this is a real concern as the body may be less likely to let go of its fat stores if the toxic load is still high. Or some studies have suggested that thyroid function may even be affected as you lose weight.

Stress on the body in all its forms will make it harder to lose weight and will take more energy from you.

“The more life in your food the more life in you” eating fresh real food should give you plenty of energy to be active.

Maybe one of the biggest reasons people don’t get the results they want is that they can’t keep enough focus on their on their goal and that goal is often not powerful enough to motivate them when an obstacle presents itself.

Losing weight can be challenging and there will be many obstacles you will have to overcome to achieve the goal you want, the trick is in having a vision of what you want to achieve and feeling it so that you can stay on path and ensure you achieve it.

This one sounds a little weird right?

But this is simple often overlooked tactic for eating the right amount for you and for getting more out of your food, we simply need to chew our food well.

Take an experiment next time you sit down to a meal…. How many times do you chew your food before you swallow?
On average we chew each bite of food only 4 times.

A little disgusting I know but this is very important.

Chances are you will need to eat something before you exercise to keep your energy up but something substantial after helps prevent cravings and converts the benefit of the exercise.

The biggest buzz word in nutrition has always been Calories. The thing dieters’ fear most is also the thing that makes us work. So what is a calorie? A calorie is the energy value of food, to be more precise it is the amount of energy it takes to heat 1 litre of water 1 Degree Celsius. It is the energy that gives us life so why is this vital energy the thing that is feared by all.

One of the big questions you may be asking when you started your exercise program is what type of diet should I be on? Finding the right amount, type and mix of food for the human body has always been a controversial topic and is passionately debated by many diet experts, but with all the data available to us about the human body and food why is it that we have not yet found the ideal human diet.

In this post I’m going to let you in on the truth, the real reason why we will never find the ideal human diet and how you can find your own ideal mix of food. The truth is there is no ideal diet for all humans because we are all completely different. Just as we are different on the outside, we are also very different on the inside and have completely unique nutritional needs.
