Weight Loss: Getting Started With Diamond Body Image

When I was 215 pounds, I never paid attention to the amount of fat, protein or carbs my food had. After I started "dieting" I paid attention to calories and fat. I would buy the fat free version of what ever I could get my hands on. Now, I opt for full fat, pay attention to more than just fat and calories and choose my foods wisely.   It is amazing to me how many women that I talk to on a daily basis that still have the same old adage that I did. Fat makes you fat. That have no idea why the right kind of carbs are key and protein is your friend. That is why I was so compelled to record this podcast for you.   We go into a ton of detail in the podcast, but here is a quick rundown for you: Oh and before I forget, protein shakes are a great way to get in more protein.

Weight loss and maintenance is a lifestyle, NOT a diet. Although fad diets may seem like the easiest path to weight loss, they're pretty much bound to fail in the long run. AND... Yes, the weight may come off quickly, but it will also come back quickly, usually with some added pounds to, and that is just ANNOYING. Instead of torturing yourself, try changing one thing at a time. How to start: Eating- Start small and avoid overwhelm. When you diet you restrict yourself on foods that you love and that just makes you feel deprived and in the end, you lose will power and just give up. Start simple by just reducing your carbohydrates, processed foods and focus on the basics. Meat, vegetables, fruit, NATURAL foods t

Here is a quick run down: How you view yourself-  Your confidence level increases. With higher confidence you will notice that you smile more, you are nicer, you are braver. How others view you- Some of us have the attitude of "I really don't care what other people think of me" and that is fine, however it can impact your life in many different ways.
