SSSHHHH! It’s a SECRET. I gave you this secret a year ago, but it is time to reveal the secret again.
Or at least you would think it was a secret based on all the ads for weight loss miracle supplements. Actually, it’s not a secret. Remember our mothers, grandmothers, and even great-grandmothers telling us:
- Get plenty of rest
- Exercise
- Drink plenty of water
- Eat your vegetables
- Watch your sugars, starches, and fats.
Is it that simple? Well, really it is. The simple fact is that when our insulin levels go higher, our body stores fat. And to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you bring in. To gain weight you have to take in more calories than you burn. So what do we need to do?
- Keep our insulin level level - follow a low glucatrol diet.
- Limit the sugars and starches and calories. Don’t take anything completely out of your diet like fats or sugars.
- Find out what your healthy weight should be, the calories per day you should have, and then plan your meals.
- Eat your vegetables raw or steamed as much as possible,
- Limit your fruits to 3 servings a day
- Do your exercises for at least 20 minutes a day to get your metabolism kick-started.
I found a neat site that you can track your weight, exercise and diet on no matter what diet you are on. It is Dietwatch Diet Planner & Diet Tracker.
