How To Lose Weight Without Starving Yourself
Copyright (c) 2013 Mark Garlick
At the moment the 5/2 Diet is huge! Most people know about it as a weight loss technique. I want to share with you what it's actually about. The 2 days of fasting is actually a way to bring down your growth hormone levels. Now, in our current environment and society, we are encouraged to constantly eat. Breakfast, coffee and quick bite to eat at Starbucks, lunch on the go, more coffee and a sweet treat and finally dinner, because we are constantly eating, our bodies are forever focused on the digestive system and how to get the waste product out that it does not repair damaged cells (growth hormone for this) and in turn there is an increased number of damaged cells because your body is just making new cells as a result.
Increased growth hormone levels lead to all sorts of degenerative diseases, cancer and decreases the length of life. Now, please explain to me where weight loss came into this? It is a by-product of fasting for 2 days - which just shows how much we are actually eating! I fully agree with the 5/2 Diet but not as a weight loss tool.
What I do agree to, as weight loss tool is not a diet... No starving... No yoyo dieting... Just normal, clean eating! That term "clean eating" may seem strange because we are so far from it in this day and age.
Clean eating is simply cutting out the 3 P's - processed, prepared and packaged foods.
Processed examples - white bread, refined pasta, white sugar, Vienna sausages, sugar.
Prepared examples - pre-packed frozen meals, those on the go lunches at Starbucks.
Packaged examples - chocolates, sweets, biscuits, crisps, MacDonald's.
To easily and effortlessly lose weight you should be focusing on fresh foods - fresh fish, vegetables, sweet potatoes, fresh fruit and various organic oils.
Eat until you are full, not until you feel sick because you have eaten too much. Your body was meant to run at 100%, but it's like a car. If you put bad fuel in it, it doesn't run properly, right? You see where I am going with this? You must fill your body with goodness and good foods to run at your best version.
For just one week, try cut out the 3 P's and you will see and feel the weight fall away! This is as easy and simple as it gets, but it is also the only way to lose weight for life and never have to "diet" again.
I believe in you, I am in the trench's with you, you can do this and lose weight and feel amazing, as you should be!
About the Author
I work with women between the ages of 30 and 55. They are 2 stone or less over weight. They struggle with fat around their arms, upper back, tummy, and hips. They tend to self sabotage themselves, comfort eat, give up easily because they don't hold themselves accountable, they lack time and as a result yo-yo diet because they don't know exactly what to do with the limited time they have. http://www.thelifestyleconcierge.co.uk
