The Atkins diet, South Beach diet, Paleo diet, Baby food diet, The clean program, The Blood Type diet, The Cookie diet, The lemonade cleanse diet. The list of Fad diets, aka “crash diets” goes on and on.
Hopefully, if you are reading this, you haven’t fallen victim to one of these ridiculous diets. In general, they are all gimmicks that are designed to give you an answer for a “quick fix” or immediate weight loss that fail to hit the mark and can even be dangerous for you.
In the meantime, I would like to discuss with you the SIMPLICITY of correct dieting.
First, I have been training and dieting myself for many years now. I am conscious of EVERY single thing I eat and if my workout routine makes my muscles bigger or smaller. I have been doing this to achieve an certain physique or image of myself that to me represents the “perfect body.”
But here’s the thing, and its a BIG thing. . . That’s me.
It’s not you
Everyone one else would generally be happy if they lost a few pounds, or dropped a few pant sizes or even built a little muscle. The vast majority of people don’t even want to look like super built, muscular men and women!
So, instead of being enticed by some sort of extreme diet with promises of making you look like Brad Pitt in Fight Club, follow a diet protocol that works for YOU!
The best part is, I’m about to tell you what to do that is so incredibly easy that I promise it can make anyone lose weight, ANYONE!
All you have to do is… count your calories!!
That’s it. There is no gimmick here. Just the truth. And I think the truth is actually sometimes the problem for losing weight. . .
A lot of people are afraid of the truth, afraid of the simplicity of it, or afraid to admit that you ACTUALLY know what to do already! You tell yourself, “it can’t be this easy.”
So instead you opt for the newest fad diet because somewhere it said it had the NEWEST WEIGHT LOSS SECRET for losing weight!
Well people, good thing you have someone like me to tell you the truth.
So for the average person who sees dieting as this daunting task, simply counting calories in order to REDUCE the amount of calories you consume, can be the easiest and safest way to go!
Think of this as an introduction to nutrition.
If I, the trainer, go to you who has really no idea what dieting and nutrition is and suddenly bombard you and say, “OK, no more sweets, no more bread, no pasta. Only brown rice and chicken.” You will ultimately do this for a week and then just give up because it was way to difficult.
As somebody new to the lifestyle, I cannot expect you to automatically live the way I do just because in my mind it is easy for me, so it should be easy for you too.
You have to crawl before you can walk. It is as simple as that.
Then, once you have the counting of the calories down pat, then you can move on to counting the macro nutrients you eat (carbs, fats, protiens).
The process goes on and on till you have a full grasp of correct dieting and all along the way you are losing weight!
Now you know how simple it really is. There are no secrets or magical diets. Don’t you think if there were, everyone would be skinny?
Stop falling for the mass commercialized fad diets and START doing what makes sense for YOU!
