Top 10 Ultimate Fitness Success Principles
I?ve listed out the main principles of all successful nutrition plans. Please don?t be fooled by the simplicity. These are tried and true. These principles aren?t made up by me. These are proven scientific practices that are sure to work for you, if you simply apply yourself.
Most nutrition plans have overlapping similarities. It?s these similarities that make these nutrition plans effective. I?ve boiled down these similarities and listed them out for you below.
Remember that most nutrition plans will work if you?re consistent with them. What I?m saying is that the effectiveness you get from your nutrition plan will be determined by your adherence to it.
The psychology of eating is just as important, if not more so, than the nutrition plan itself. At last count, there were over 185 thousand listed book titles on http://Amazon.com with the term ?diet?. Isn?t that crazy?
We have an abundance of information at our fingertips. So, the question is, are you going to prepare yourself ?mentally? for success on this or any other nutrition plan.
No plan will work if you follow it haphazardly. For most people, following the principles laid out will be enough. Those that are further along and closer to their ideal bodyweight will need more specific attention.
Be that as it may, follow the below principles to the ?T? and watch as your body literally transforms over the coming months!
Top 10 Nutrition Success Principles:
Nutrition...
1. Eliminate preservatives, additives, artificial sweeteners, and colorings from your diet.
2. Water ? Drink at least .75oz per pound of bodyweight each day (Example: 150lbs x .75 = 112.5oz)
3. Eliminate all Processed Foods
4. Eat Every 2-3 Waking Hours = 5-8 meals/snacks per day
5. Eat Within 1 Hour of Waking Up ? Breakfast (Break-Fast)
6. Consume Complete Lean Protein at Each Meal
7. Carbohydrates = Fruits and Vegetables (Eat at each meal)
8. Consume Post Workout Recovery Drink ? Within 20 to 30 minutes of completing workout (protein and carbohydrate mixture)
9. Vary Food Choices Each Day ? Avoid developing food allergies by choosing different foods each day.
10.Eliminate ?Bad? Fats ? Trans Fatty Acids or Hydrogenated Oils
That's it, just ten simple nutrition principles you can immediately start following and reaping the rewards.
Having and maintaining good, sound nutritional habits doesn't have to be rocket science. Forget counting calories, counting carbs, "dieting" and all the other minutia that gets in the way.
Simply eliminate as much processed food from your eating plan, plan and follow through with your 5-7 protein rich meals each day, eat more fruits and veggies, get a good quality post workout recovery drink after your workouts, vary your food choices, drink lots of clean filtered water and you'll do great.
Stop looking for the right diet for you, there's no such thing. It's a matter of getting back to the basics of sound nutrition. Those basics are what we just went over. Give yourself a warm welcome to the easy way to lose weight. It really is that simple.
