Don't Eat Less, Eat Right

   This is something I know many people struggle with, especially with all the crazy ads on TV and magazines about eating less food. It certainly doesn't help that we see photoshopped models (a whole other discussion we will get to) all over the place skinny as can be with the only explanation coming to mind how she got that way was through not eating. 
   This is of course FALSE!! You don't have to eat less to loose weight or get to a certain fitness goal. Yes different rules apply for all the body builders and fitness competitors out there but for the every day human, starving is not the answer. Your body needs fuel to operate and majority of that fuel is through carbohydrates. You're body will burn it all off for fuel, but, if you are consuming more than you are burning off that is when it becomes a problem. One of the most important things about even moderate exercise is that it will help you burn off the extra carbs you consume that you simply cannot burn off while doing your daily tasks. 
    Sure, if you eat less you will loose weight, but it will also make you tired and very irritated, you wont have the carbohydrates needed in order to perform simple day-to-day tasks, then once you reach your desired weight and go back to eating the foods you use to and the same portions you will gain all that weight and more back quicker than you took it off. Patience is key. If you get yourself into healthy habits and begin to eat the right foods and start working on exercising more you will get much better results than from simply eating less. You're energy levels will increase, healthier skin, nails, a happy inside and so much more benefits that go well beyond just the inside of your body just by eating well and it doesn't have to be hard! Eating right can be very easy if you have the patience, I don't like the word "diet" when people think about diet they think "temporary eating restriction torture" no I prefer "healthy lifestyle" especially because it's long term and encouraging to make it a part of your life. Once you get yourself familiarized with what is healthy and what is not it becomes much easier to adapt to this lifestyle the key is to not give up, this isn't an easy thing to do with all the advertisements out there for food that isn't good for you everywhere these days, so be patience and don't give up you will get there!! Unhealthy habits are a hard addiction to break but you can do it! 

Love to all and keep up the amazing work!
