You obviously know that exercise can be quite a challenge considering the fact that you probably have a very busy daily schedule. Not only that, if you’re like many people who sit too much and move too little, exercise may not be your favorite “sport.” That can make it difficult to stay motivated at the gym. Exercise is definitely on the schedule for helping you lose weight. But the good news is that if you get a moderate amount of exercise throughout the week naturally, you may be able to get fit simply by eating in the proper way.
One problem that happens when it comes to trying to change eating behaviors is getting into the pattern of following too many different programs. I certainly understand this. I feel the easiest way to stay on a certain way of eating is to have my meals pre-planned and prepared ahead of time during a day. That keeps me steady and on track. To do that, I often follow a nutrition program eating plan. But the key is to not follow too many.
So although it is a good idea to have a program in mind whenever you start eating for health, being too drastic or jumping from one program to the next is not what you should do. A big problem with trying too many “diets” is cutting necessary nutrients out of the diet which the body needs. It is difficult to estimate how much this might cause damage to your metabolisms as a result of yo-yo dieting through low carbohydrate or low-fat eating.
The best thing is to find a way of eating that can become a lifestyle for you; something that lets you manage your weight while providing fresh whole, delicious foods you want to keep eating. One way of doing this is through a low glycemic diet. This is actually fairly simple to understand and lets you get the nutrition needed to lose weight and be healthy.
The glycemic index is a list of foods that are arranged according to how quickly the sugar in them is released into our system. The higher on the list the food resides, the faster the sugar is going to be dumped into the blood stream. This can cause your pancreas to overload with insulin, something that is going to end up storing fat on your body.
To help with blood sugar balance, eat low glycemic foods. Make sure that you include a protein, legume and plenty of low glycemic vegetables at every meal, preferably raw. If you eat like this for two weeks you will be able to see the difference in your clothing and whenever you stand on the scale. It is an easy way to get fit without doing a lot of exercise you don’t enjoy.
