Lose Fat – Nutrition For Your Body-Shaping Goals

Many of you are are putting off some of your favorite foods
or should I say, desserts, during this time. (I’ve given up carbs
in forms of bread, rolls, cookies and cakes for Lent)

The side effect may be some inches lost and an overall
better healthy feeling but this is just isn’t a lifestyle.

You’ve cut back on red meat and sugar snacks but once this period
is over, will you revert back to old, eating habits.

Have you got a consistent nutrition plan in place?

Hope isn’t a strategy. (I read that on a book cover)

It’s the same with your nutrition.

Remembering to consume sensible choices in
balanced, supportive portions throughout the day is one of
the most crucial components towards your body-shaping fitness
plan. Drop all those super-sized servings.

I mentioned balanced meals. This means you take account of
portion of the servings you eat.

What’s a serving?

Here’s a quick guide to eye-ball serving sizes:

Muffin or dinner roll (1-2oz) = Plum
3 oz. lean meat= Deck of cards or audio cassette (haven\’t
seen those in a while)
Medium fruit= Baseball
1.5 oz. of cheese= 6 dice
1/2 cup of rice or pasta= Computer mouse
2 tbsp. of peanut butter = Large marshmallow

You may want a few hassle-free nutrition bars as a convenient way to complement your food plan and to help yourself get the protein your active
body needs. I recommend nuts and grains like almonds and sunflower seeds if you are on the go.

Just food for thought,
