Eating Right for Fat Loss

We all know that we need to exercise and eat right to lose weight, yet most of us struggle with this on a daily basis. I'll be the first to admit that I struggle with eating too much junk food.

Sometimes its because of convenience that we eat junk food and sometimes its because of too much stress - we take in "comfort" foods and drink, to help us feel better, even though this is temporary and often causes us to feel worse, with low energy levels.

The fitness workouts are the easy part for me, 'cause I consider it training more than I do exercising....... its not something I have to do, like punishment, its something I enjoy doing - a part of me.

Its easier for me to train than eat right, which is why I look in pretty good shape, but not quite fitness model material. One of the ways to help get around my bad habits is to fast for brief periods of time.

This works to help reduce your overall calorie intake and also allows your body to burn off some of the bad substances that we take in with our "comfort" foods. Surprisingly, it is more of a mental thing than anything else.

You actually feel fairly energetic once you get past the initial shock of only taking in water. Nutritionist Brad Pilon did lots of research on the health benefits of short-term fasting. This method called Eat_Stop_Eat can also be used to help lose weight.

If you can't fathom the idea of going a short period without eating, than you might consider Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training for Fat Loss. It includes an eating program from Registered Dietician Dr. Chris Mohr, who has been featured in many different magazines.

The forums there also help provide support from others trying to lose weight and regain their health. One of Craig's clients recently topped the 100 pounds lost mark, in just under a year - quite an accomplishment from someone who had considered surgery as his last chance to lose weight.
