Diets don't workTypical diets that is . . . because they don't provide you with the strategies you need to keep weight off permanently. But . . . HOW you eat

plays a vital role in whether fat is deposited, whether food is utilized maximally, and whether digestion is completed.

For example: When you skip meals

and you’re hungry, the human body interprets severe hunger (fasting) as stress (famine).  It adapts to this type of stress by increasing the fat-storing enzymes.  It also slows down your metabolism as a means of "preserving fuel” since its natural rhythm has been altered.

   When you overeat

the body cannot accept all of the calories taken in the large meals, and must eliminate them or store them.  Digestion is overloaded and therefore incomplete.  Again, the fat-storing enzymes take over in the storing process.  So whether you are
over-eating or under-eating you’ll store fat!

  So, what works?!

1.  Eat nutrient-rich foods.  Conversely, avoid sugar and high-glycemic refined foods, even if labeled "low-fat" (it’s trick marketing).
2.     Eat breakfast—it “kick-starts” your metabolism.  You’re BREAKingFAST.
3.     Eat the proper selections and portions (a protein and a the right kind of carb at each meal).
4.    
Plan your meals and prepare your food in advance—don’t wait until the “feed-me-now” urge hits.
5.    
Eat more often—(nutrient-dense over calorie-dense) smaller meals increase your metabolism.
6.    
Follow a personalized* exercise plan with attainable goal phases (*not someone else’s).
7.    
Supplement nutritionally—especially when getting the right food selection is inconvenient.

The Bottom Line:If any plan is going to last, it’s got to be sensible and pleasurable!  After all, it’s your lifestyle!  
It’s a lot more fun to think about nutrition than it is to fret about calories!
   
With the right exercise plan and nutritious food selections appropriately spaced, you will automatically reduce fat storage while you improve nutrition, and keep your metabolism in high gear. 
Live lean!
