How to Consume Less Calories

 

Eat your calories, don’t drink them. It’s that simple. Let’s take a look at why this will work by using oranges and orange juice as an example. A 24oz cup of OJ is about 330 calories now if your drinking this with breakfast most people would probably have 2 glasses of OJ making it 660 calories total. To get the same amount calories by eating oranges you would need to consume about 10 oranges, now for me and probably a lot of other people two oranges would be enough to fill up and you would only consume 140 calories.

Let’s take a look at why eating your calories is better than drinking them. First because it takes longer to eat calories than drink them. Why is this so important is because it takes around 10 minutes from the time you eat to the time your stomach sends a signal to your brain saying you have had enough. The brain can’t react fast enough when you drink something because it’s in you almost immediately and you don’t have to chew liquids.

Another reason why eating your calories is better is because of fiber. Fiber makes you feel more full without loading you with extra calories. Most juices out there offer a fraction of the fiber you would get by eating the fresh fruit, even the juices with “more pulp”. So by making this simple change in your diet you can seriously cut down on the amount of calories you eat and boost your weight loss goals.

Fitness Motivation

 

It’s hard for people to stay motivated when they have such unrealistic expectations for themselves. Someone could want to lose 20lbs but want it done as soon as possible. Of course we all want results as soon as possible but some expectations just cannot be met. 20lbs can take a month to get rid of, but some people want results like that in as little as 1-2 weeks.. and when they don’t get those results in that span of time they likely end up quitting. Your drive to keep going shouldn’t be how quick you’re going to get results, but simply just getting the results. It may take longer to achieve what you want, but that’s how it is. It’s not possible to lose a large amount of weight in such a small amount of time. Think of it like this. Even if it takes you a month to get the results you want then in a month you’ll have them if you just keep going. Time will go by faster than you realize and once your goal is achieved I guarantee you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner. The fact is your never going to get to your goals if you keep quitting and setting up unrealistic timelines. Don’t worry about how long it’s going to take just think about the end result and you’ll get there sooner than you expected.

Good vs Bad Cholesterol

Cholesterol cannot be dissolved into the blood stream so it has to be carried throughout by lipoproteins. Lipoproteins carry two types of cholesterol to and from cells, those two types are HDL (High Density Lipoproteins), and LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins). LDL is the bad type of cholesterol because it contributes to plaque buildup and makes arteries less flexible, which is a condition known as atherosclerosis. If a clot of plaque forms in the arteries it can result in a heart attack or stroke. HDL, which is the good type of cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the arteries. HDL acts as a kind of scavenger carrying the LDL cholesterol to your liver to be broken down and disposed of by the body. People who exercise, don’t smoke, and maintain a healthy diet and weight tend to have higher levels of the good cholesterol HDL.

So it is important to get your cholesterol levels checked even if you don’t think you have high cholesterol. But there are some foods to help reduce the risk of high cholesterol:

• Oatmeal
• Beans
• Nuts
• Fruits
• Soy

And here are some foods to avoid or eat less of:

• Red Meats
• Egg yolks
• Milk and other diary products
