It is the #1 misunderstood fact that drinking more water helps your body get rid of water. Your Healthy Lifestyle Coach, Darin L. Steen

www.fatlosslifestyle.com Everyone has a metabolism that was genetically given to them from their mom and dad. Our lifestyle (exercise & nutrition) either improves it (speeds it up), or destroys it (slows it down). By following these simple nutrition Dos & Donts anyone can speed up their metabolism within a week. You do have the power. 1. You Must Eat Smaller Meals More Often Through Out The Day!! You must eat a protein and a carb combined together every 3 hours. 2. Dont eat anything that took more energy to ship than to grow. If it rots its good for your. If it is made in a plant stay away; if it comes from a plant, eat it. 3. If you are not hungry enough to eat an apple, then youre not hungry. 4. Eat foods in inverse proportion to how much its lobby spends to push it. 5. Avoid snack foods with the oh sound in their names Doritos, Cheetos, Tostitos, Ho Hos, etc. 6. Eat your protein first then your carb 7. Its better to pay the grocer than the doctor. Pay for genuine organic food as often as possible. The best place to get the freshest organic foods is at your local farmers market. They advertise in your local paper or google search local farmers markets________ (your home town) 8. You may not leave the table until you finish your veggies 9. You dont get fat on food you pray over. (Meals prepared at home, served at the table and given thanks for are more appreciated and more healthful than food eaten on the run.) 10. Eat more in the beginning and the middle of the day. There is some truth to the old adage Eat Breakfast Like a King; Lunch Like a Prince; and Supper Like a Pauper 11. Never eat something that is pretending to be something else (artificial sweeteners, margarine, fat free etc.) I would rather have a little unprocessed real something (like sugar cane sugar) versus artificial man made chemicals (like sweet n low or splenda) 12. Eat more starchy carbs (wild or brown rice, whole grained bread, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, banana) in the middle of the day on days that you train intensely with weights. Its called carb cycling. 12 ½ The two meals after an intense resistance training session should have 75% of you starch carbs for the day in them. This window after the work out the carbs can be higher glycemic (absorbed more rapidly) Your hunger level dictates how fast or slow your metabolism is revving. If your hunger level is always low then wait an hour after your work out to consume your post work out meal. If your hunger level is medium- wait 30 minutes If you hunger level is high- wait 0 minutes Always wait an hour after intense interval cardio (do it first thing in the morning) before you eat. Ride the fat burning wave. Make it a real food meal with no starch carbs. Some chicken or red meat and some veggies. 13. Always combine non starchy / fibrous veggie carbs (colorful veggies, salads, green-beans, grape-fruit) with a protein (remember to cycle in starchy carbs on intense work out days. 14. Portion control weapon #1 Drink lots of cold water (I prefer with lemon) 15. Portion control weapon #2 CHEW SLOW! Plus your digestive enzymes will work better and help your gut. And you will enjoy the taste better. 16. One of my top rules for eating comes from economics. The law of diminishing marginal utility reminds me that each additional bite is generally less satisfying than the previous bite. This helps me slow down, savor the first bites, stop eating sooner. 17. Dont eat anything you arent willing to kill yourself. 18. Dont consume calories in liquid form. Use cold water in a glass bottle. Squeeze lemon and or lime in it. The glass bottle makes it colder and therefore more appetizing. Milk and orange juice is not good for us. It is actually bad for us. And coffee is terrible. Get off of the caffeine. You will be so glad you did. 19. When youre eating, dont talk about other past meals, whether better or worse. Focus on whats in front of you. Be in the moment with your family and friends. 20. After spending some time working with people with eating disorders, I came up with this rule: Dont create arbitrary rules for eating if their only purpose is to help you feel in control. Say this three times before your meal when you feel out of control, I eat for fuel, not for pleasure. My body is a machine! I am in control! 21. Eat a small supper with no starchy carbs (around 6 pmish). Eat a protein snack (real food if possible) around 9:30 pm Then go to bed early. It is the best way to not eat junk at night. Plus you need to get up early to start your day without being rushed. Early to bed, Early to Rise Makes a man Healthy, Wealthy & Wise!! Your Healthy lifestyle Coach, Darin

How someone views weight loss and fat loss will have a huge bearing on their attempts to become leaner. To many, weight loss and fat loss are viewed as the same and often are used interchangeably in normal, every-day conversation without complication. But for many a distinction needs to be made.

Fat loss can be defined as a reduction in body fat only and can change even when total body weight remains the same. For example, when someone follows a resistance training program, their muscle mass may increase and their fat levels may decrease, but because one change offsets the other, overall body weight can remain virtually the same.

Muscle and liver storage of glycogen (carbohydrate) and water can affect body weight without effecting body fat levels. Following a bout of resistance training, and assuming adequate nutrition has been consumed with sufficient amounts of carbohydrate, the muscle and liver glycogen (carbohydrate) stores are filled to capacity. And for every 1 gram of glycogen stored, 3-4 grams of water is also stored. (This is why muscles appear to be bigger and fuller the day after a weights session. The muscle hasn’t dramatically grown overnight; it’s just full of glycogen and water). This storage explains why even though body fat levels haven’t changed, total body weight can fluctuate on a daily basis.

When this process is manipulated, rapid weight loss is possible (and spot reduction – but that’s another article). Training depletes the muscle of glycogen and water, and if not replaced, the body becomes lighter on the scales and rapid weight loss is reported, albeit without a reduction in actual body fat.

This brings us to our definition of weight loss – a reduction in total body weight whether it’s from a reduction in body fat, muscle tissue, water stores, glycogen stored, liver glycogen stores or a combination of 2 or more.

Unfortunately, too many people fail to see the difference between fat loss and weight loss and mistakenly focus on total body weight, thinking that to reach their ‘ideal size’ their weight must be a certain number on the scales. This line of thinking has serious implications in terms of exercise adherence and motivation. For example, a minimal or non-existent reduction in total body weight can be seen as a failure even though a reduction in body fat has occurred. For those that fail, or simply refuse to distinguish between fat loss and weight loss, this may be enough to deter them from continuing with their exercise program.

Weight loss without an associated loss in fat is an unfavourable outcome. This usually means that muscle tissue is being lost and that’s bad news for your metabolism. Your muscle mass drives your metabolic rate so any reduction makes it harder to for your body to lose fat and to avoid gaining fat.

Another body composition scenario that may occur is that total body weight may stay the, with an increase in body fat and a decrease in muscle mass. This is common amongst retired sports people who cease training, resulting in muscle atrophy (wasting), but continue to follow the eating habits they had when playing and training. Although muscle can’t literally turn into fat, this is a common and reasonable description of what happens when people stop training and continue familiar eating habits.

So when someone is following an exercise program to lose fat, they must be aware of the distinction between fat loss, weight loss, and muscle mass. And realise that in all probability, if they include a resistance training component for muscle mass and metabolic maintenance, their body weight won’t change as much as their size will.
