Drop the Cookie to Live a Healthier Lifestyle!

Dropping cookie or breaking a bad habit is a tough job. If you even aim strongly to avoid it, you just cannot get over your unnecessary cravings. Some people opt for diet stuff like diet coke and diet chocolate Paleo cookies but that would not help for sure. You have to drop cookies if you want your desired health and fitness results. Those diet stuff works, if you occasionally need to consume them and not regularly. As a matter of fact, diet coke is too addictive. It is hard to get over it.

Plan before you eat!

You cannot just abandon things you know are harmful for your health. However, you can substitute them with other healthier options.

Alternate eating options

Look closely into healthier options and make the best food choices for your taste buds:

1. Alternate fried chips with baked chips
2. Alternate fried chicken with grilled/baked chicken etc.
3. Drink water/ lime or lemonade  in place of soda.
4. Control your chocolate cravings for cookies, donuts and pastries with Chocolate Shakeology Brownie and Tropical strawberry Shakeology desserts.
5. Avoid Alcohol and replace it with green tea.

Set the proportions!

Dividing your plate with fruits, veggies and protein rich food will help you stay fit and healthy. After all, you are what you eat. Set your plate proportions i.e. 1/4 with fruits, 1/4 with veggies and 2/4 with a protein rich diet like a piece of chicken or fish baked or grilled.

Break the myth!

There are many myths related to eating. The first myth is, if you eat many small meals throughout the day or if you keep on eating in small proportions you would not gain weight. Well, if you keep on eating, you will never lose weight. Another myth is that, weight loss does not mean fat burning. Burning 3500 calories reduce 1 pound of fat, so think again!!! Finally, starvation does not help in reducing weight. It is true but it helps in breaking plateaus. Eventually, when you starve for a longer period, you over eat and bust off all your weight losing goals.

Muscles burn fat!

In order to lose weight, you have to empower your muscles by consuming high protein diet. By eating a high protein diet will not automatically help you lose weight. You have to indulge in workouts like Turbo Fire, Insanity and P90X to push fat so hard that makes it melt off your body.

The relationship of weight loss and healthier lifestyle!

When you jump into a healthier lifestyle like clean eating and doing workouts on a daily basis for weight loss , you will feel change not only internally but outward too. Your skin will appear to glow and turn red naturally. You will feel happy as it has a direct influence on your hormonal activities. You will notice that you had improved digestion, less stress, improved metabolism, feeling lighter and vitalized. Your cholesterol level will be lowered. You will feel less ill in comparison to previous years. Ultimately, you will love to stick to this lifestyle. This marks for the beginning of a healthier lifestyle.
