How, When, and What to Eat

Growing up, we were taught cereal, toast, fruit for breakfast. Or maybe at your house you got to eat greasy eggs, bacon,etc. Well, in order to burn fat you need carbs in your breakfast. Carbs are the fuel that your body uses to burn fat. Without them, your body starts to eat away at your muscle, so you lose weight but still have a gut, or big thighs, man boobs, etc. What I eat for breakfast is pretty simple, I make some pasta, add 4ounces of chicken, beef or fish to the pasta and an individual size package of frozen veggies. Cooking in Townecraft cookware helps, since you do not add any water to the veggies and you can't burn your food. Also, you are cooking at medium till steam rises up and then turn the stove to low heat. leave the pre cooked pasta, meat, and veggies cook for about 20 minutes and then eat. In the meantime, you get a healthy meal in the time it takes you to go to the bathroom, shower, and shave. For more information on Townecraft cookware email me at psuwildthing2003@hotmail.com

Fitness and Relationships with the Opposite Gender

I've notice that a lot of people that are overweight or suffer from things like eating disorders have a low self-esteem. Some of this is caused by unhealthy diets, while for others it is spiritual We need to focus on who we are in Christ if we are ever to defeat these harmful practices. Once we realize that we will want to take care of our bodies. Some people have questioned why I want to date someone that is healthy attractive and takes care of herself. I say this that when you are looking for a spouse you will want to find someone who is confident that they are fulfilling the design God has for them and it makes for a better all around marriage relationship, which is what we should be focused on.

And the Verdict is SLEEP

Most of us think that sleep is something we do when we are tired, and that is true. I recently learned though that sleeping at least 7 hours a night helps burn fat. Sleep is important for repairing the body and helping the body heal. Think about it; when you get sick, the first thing your doctor tells you is to get plenty of rest. The body needs rest slow down and recuperate;l otherwise you get like I feel now: knowing you need to workout, and feeling to "blah" to do it. Lucky for me today is intense cardio day and I have a Wii fit with a step program on it. Well, back to working out the kinks in my discipleship program paper then working my kinks on my rest issue and physical training.

Right after your workout

When exercising you burn sugars and calories, raising your target heartrate is key during this time frame to maximize your weight loss or gain and caloric intake. Even when gaining muscle mass, cardio is needed to maximize your benefits. One thing you need to do 30-45 minutes after your workout is eat or better yet drink something. I prefer drinking something like a smoothie and adding in whey protein, fat burning stuff, energizers etc. Especially when wanting to lose weight. One of the best products on the market is Nutraburst Superfoods blend. This one supplement that comes in a thirty day supply contains everything you need to maximize your workout benefits and to maintain health. This product contains antioxidant blend, protein blend, digestive blend, and your supergreen foods blend all in one product. Check out the product at icarter.124online.com and happy meeting goals.

Know your body

Most people when they want to lose weight or get in better shape start eating less and exercising more. The problem with this philosophy is that most people do not work out correctly, and even less eat correctly. To be serious, who wants to eat lettuce all the time? I love a good salad but I love beef too. A nice meal I created this afternoon for lunch consisted of beef sirloin nuggets; onion, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes sauteed in grapeseed oil, cooking sherry, clove, sage, basil, and marjoram layered over pasta and cabbage on the side for a delish dish that was also completely usuable by my body and nutritious. Some people when losing weight can eat chocolate, some can't. Knowing the foods that interact well with your blood type and chemical make up can go a long way to eating a healthy tasty diet. MMMMM MMMM good. So be like me and a get a Physical Trainer at a gym, if here in Charlotte I recommend the staff at Urban Active Fitness. ALso, get a good set of waterless cookware, I prefer Townecraft and will be back selling again soon. If you set up a dinner with Townecraft and have 4 married/engaged professional couples there then the company evens gives you a free gift. Nopt to mention it is a fun time to enjoy a meal with friends, and learn how to eat healthier at the same time. Hit me up to schedule a dinner part at psuwildthing2003@hotmail.com. Also for free nutritious pre-packaged gourmet meals, go to psuwildthing.sundanceglobal.com between now and OCT. 20. Thanks and enjoy getting your new fit, healthy lifestyle.

The Inevitable Weight Gain Factor

I forgot about this and ended up getting frustrated, so I wanted to talk about this today. When you are trying to LOSE weight, there will be some weeks that you will GAIN weight. Yes, that is right you are doing your 5 days a week of cardio and weight training and after a couple weeks of loss you see a slight gain in weight. Two factors that create this are water weight (80-90 percent of your liquid intake should be water by now so you might see a slight gain here since your body might be craving it); muscle mass gain (muscle weighs more than fat(. The key to knowing you are on the right fat is body fat. How do you pants fit? Or is your favorite dress starting to fit you again? DO you have more energy without the daily caffeine rush? These are all outward signs that can be signs of good progress despite the natural sense that your weight loss may be a weight gain. Happy transformations.

Help From Others

I am putting this up here to remind people that no matter what you do that YOU can NEVER be successful on your own. When you are trying to do something one your own, YOU WILL inevitably fail. Every single person who has had some kind of success in their life had someone that helped them out, even if the only someone that helped them was God, Jesus, or the Holy Ghost. Face it we need help to survive and make it, and anyone that thinks otherwise will be alone, fat, lazy and without enjoying thier life. Also, we need to help other people to succeed, the circle is a vicious one and goes against the cutthroat look out for number one mentality that has been drilled into our society. When we stop looking out for number one and start looking out for other, we inevitably feel better and when we feel better, we are more productive, more motivated, and people want to be around us more. So get help when you need it and give help to those who are less fortunate than you and the world you live in becomes a better place. People who live in better places have less stress, which equals less cortizon and eventually the poundage comes off more easily.
