Hey guys, after a busy week I'm back again, and what a week its been some great sessions done in the fabulous sun in my little office that is the great outdoors.
I hope you are all making the most of these wonderful days and getting as much sunlight as you can.
The last week has thrown up some good discussions about nutrition and weight loss with my clients. I have a real interest in nutrition and as so I'm currently studying it with the Open University. My take on eating for weight loss and indeed eating for a healthier you is simple. Quality not Quantity comes first every time. Think of your body as a highly tuned sports car, if you feed that car on low grade fuel it wont perform well, so if you are eating copious amounts of refined, processed foods then guess what, you will become slow and lethargic.
My studies have uncovered a fact presented by the National Food Survey in 2000 that on average people in Britain spend only 9.5% of their budget on food, the very thing that keeps us alive and enables us to carryout our daily tasks.
So here are my easy points to quality nutrition.
Where possible eat Organic or Free range, this does not have to be expensive, check out local farm shops or box delivery (see www.woodslandsfarm.com)
If you have to venture into a supermarket only shop around the outside, as most of the processed foods are located towards the center.
Pretend you are shopping with your great great grandparents and only buy what they would consider to be food.
Try to grow some of your own , you don't need much room hanging baskets are great for tomatoes and some small pots and a window sill will go a long way.
At meal times try to keep your carbohydrates (pasta, potatoes etc) to handful size portions and protein to the size of a deck of cards.
Remembers guys your body is only made up of what you put into your mouths and you only get one body, so make it a healthy one.
Stay Healthy Stay Strong
