Hypothetically, a person could consume 2500 cals of pure junk food, burn 3000 calories and lose 1-2 lbs per week. On the other hand, a health-nut could consume 2500 calories of the purest healthiest foods ever made and only burn 2000 cals and gain 1-2 lbs per week.
----So if this is true why would a person want to eat healthy???
Refer to my post-- sand in the tank. Following the golden rule helps regulate your weight, eating healthy regulates your life. You have to make sure you apply both if you want to achieve your weight/fitness goals. After all, you could follow the junk food/exercise diet lose weight, look great, and still be at high risk for health problems. So why not do it the correct way and minimize your risk for future health problems?
Fuel for your body
Fighting the diet battle is mainly mental. The sooner you start thinking of food as fuel instead of satisfaction, the sooner you will be able to easily control your eating habits. From now on, think about your body as new car, computer, house,investment... (just something you admire and want to take care of). Like I said in an earlier post--- you wouldn't fill your dream car with water-based gasoline, you wouldn't intentionally install viruses on your computer, you wouldn't build your dream house with rotten lumber, you wouldn't intentionally invest in a stock that will crash in 5 years--- so why would you do that to your body? It's the only one you have, better make it the best it can be!!!
Ask yourself these three simple questions before eating anything and it will help control your eating habits!
- How long will this food satisfy my craving?
- Will it provide energy or is it empty calories?
- Is it worth it?
- -- Snacking on junk food is okay in moderation. Just remember it requires sacrifice! Sacrificing --by having to spend extra time in the gym or cutting back other calories to maintain you daily allowance!
