The three steps to achieving weight loss consist of three basic
concepts. The first is to determine your metabolism. There are three
types of metabolism differing from one to another. There is the Carb
type, the Protein type, and the Mixed type. The Carb type are the people
who are always on the go and who claim that they don't have time to
have breakfast and resort to eating refined carbohydrates and baked
goods as a substitute for a real meal. These food products often times
contain refined sugar and so when they have a snack, they feel pseudo
satiated but in reality, they end up eating more when in a few hours
they begin to feel hungry again.
The Protein type individuals are those who crave for greasy, fatty and
rich food. They usually enjoy eating meat and its many varieties such as
in pizzas, sausages, hamburgers and other processed meats products.
And the third type of metabolism is the Mixed type which consists of
someone who enjoys what the Carb and Protein type are accustomed to
eating. In this first step, you must determine your metabolism so you
know what to do for the next step... to create your own meal plan.
In creating your meal plan, it doesn't have to be particularly fancy or
expensive. Being resourceful is key. Knowing your metabolism, you learn
to avoid the food that you are often eating. Like for example: The Carb
type individuals being more carbohydrate eaters, need to have a high
carbohydrate low protein. This doesn't mean that the carb type can binge
on all the baked goods and starchy vegetables they can gorge on, but
this also means that they have to also comply with their protein needs.
Since no one wants to completely eliminate carbohydrates, there can
always be a compromise made and balance is always utmost important.
The third step is after having chosen an appropriate meal plan- choose
the best food. This may seem to sound simpler than it looks but it is
definitely a very important step in your weight loss. The rule of the
thumb is to always to check the ingredients and to eat only the food
with ingredients you can pronounce.
Most packaged, ready to eat and processed food contains loads and loads
of artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated oils, and high fructose corn
syrup- all of which are the enemy. Not only do we rapidly gain weight
from binging on them but, the damage it does to the liver is
irreversible. These chemicals are actually toxins, and the liver works
double time trying to eliminate them therefore exhausting it, causing
possible liver damage that can turn into a lot of other things.
These three steps if utilized properly and carefully will be of real
help to your weight loss efforts. With exercise and positive attitude,
one can achieve their weight loss goals and definitely see the change,
fast!
