Don’t Set your Mind

Avoid fooling yourself with Positive this and Negative that. Such discrimination raises boundaries and do not solve problems. Let the mind flex, flow, dance and do its thing.

How much do you know about your mind? Never mind.

Your body does not like hate, abuse and “positive” Enforcement you throw at it.
All it needs is nourishment that you love.

Losing FAT should not be a struggle.

You can do it with Food you Love and without breaking a muscle.

Do your Research. Read. Read again.

The internet is full of Food Gurus preaching their belief in one food. Eat only FAT. Eat only STARCH. Don’t eat at all, DRINK.
Never let others dictate what and how much you should eat.
It’s about what NOT to eat. Go figure.

Read about health, nutrition, food, fitness. Read about sugar, refined oils,
refined flour, bad fats, processed food and processed drink. Read about diet drinks.
Read about “no added sugar” if so where is the sweetness coming from?

Do you know all the names of sugar? There are many books on sugar,
and I happened to read “Pure, White and Deadly” by John Yudkin

The only reason that got me motivated to fix my health and change my food habit is Reading. The more I read about refined food, the more I understood about chronic illness.

100% Food

Experts debate if it’s 70% food and 30% exercise.
I disagree. It’s 100% Food + XX% whatever you fancy.

There might be exceptional cases (genetics rarely and medical conditions mostly) but I believe in nutritious food and so should you.

What’s the problem with your food? it’s a little off balance that needs simple fixing. Start by discarding unnecessary ingredients from your regular food and substitute it with essential ones. 
The word ingredients refer to foods that does not offer any nutritional value. If discarding unnecessary ingredients leaves your plate empty, you figured out the problem!

It takes time to put on FAT and again, Time, to lose FAT. Do it slow and steady. Any abrupt changes to your food is counter productive. So find a pace you are comfortable with. Keep discarding ingredients one by one and replacing it with healthy alternatives.

Over time your dinner plate will keep getting healthier and you will appreciate the diverse taste for food. Thus building a good relation with food and improving your overall wellness.

Do not make any plans at this stage, be it a special meal or fancy workouts. It’s hard to keep up and the guilt of not following the plan bears down. A negative impact on your mind is often demotivating.

A plan is useful if you want to do tons of chores at once. And we are not doing that. Stick to your regular routine for now while your appetite for healthy food grows and your metabolism improves.

You will feel the urge to move around more once you start losing enough Fat.

Wait for this magic to occur.

I suggest, give it at least 6 to 12 months to see any meaningful result. Until then do not force yourself or commit to a workout plan.

When you feel the enthusiasm to exercise, start with the best gym equipment, your body.
Always start with a 5 minute warm up exercise. And target a 30 second heart throb to begin with. 30 seconds of heart throb is a lot of work! Did you say “Tell me about it”?

If your heart’s pounding because of your spouse please don’t count that.

Jokes aside. Do simple work that will pound your heart. Sit, Stand repeat.  Walk up the stairs and down, Chase your pet, Sit on an imaginary chair, lift yourself off the ground. Use your imagination.

Once you start working out, It’s pleasure in the mind and pain in the butt which is easy to deal with. Relax, take a break and do it again.  Go slow.

FAT-loss is a marathon without a finish line.

Remember that and keep going.
