Diets 2009 - How A Grazing Diet Can Win You Weight Loss
Grazing Diet
Up
at the crack of dawn, the kids need their lunch boxes packed and to say
that you’re rushed off your feet is an understatement. A split-second
timed coffee doesn’t go amiss and a cereal bar sits nicely if your
jacket pocket as you race to another hectic morning of meetings, subtle
flirting and steamy gossip with your colleagues.
Lunch time
arrives and it’s late again! You’ve got little more than fives minutes
to grab a low cal sandwich, packet of new ‘healthy’ baked crisps and
some fruit before the backlog towers higher sending you to bursting
point!
Your day ends. It’s back to the house to cook tea. Kids
demand smiley faces with ketchup and curry is on the menu tonight. Feet
up, TV on and it’s almost another day over... Sound familiar?
The
average day for most of us may appear to be healthy, but if like many
you’re prodding your bingo wings and slipping up another dress size
then you may want to rethink you’re daily eating patterns for a more
slender figure.
Personal Trainer and Nutritional Advisor Simon
Lovell says: “Getting a good wholesome breakfast is essential but it’s
also important to keep grazing throughout the day, up until your
evening meal. This will help speed up your metabolic rate that will in
tern burn calories and lose you weight”.
Simon has developed a
healthy eating plan that is designed to combat convenience snacking
while building in the foods people enjoy. The Lunch Box Diet was
developed in conjunction with his Fitness First client base in Exeter
and it’s been seeing some great results. Simon has just launched his
Lunch Box Diet Club based on his idea where he will work one-to-one
with members in Devon.
“Many people get to lunch time and crave
foods based on their hunger pangs and this isn’t always the best
choice. By planning slightly, giving literally three or four minutes a
day to packing the special lunch box you will boost your energy, lose
weight and be more focused. What’s more I’ve found that the diet works
brilliant at those who work in offices because they can have their box
beside their desk or chilling in a fridge”.
The diet works by
picking foods from three different groups and packing a food container
daily. The eating plan requires little imagination and there are
thousands of combinations so it’s very unlikely you will get bored. The
Lunch Box Diet also provides many of the nutrients our body requires.
Simon also allows reward days where you can still indulge in the
naughty things.
Fortunately Simon’s combined experience in both
fitness and nutrition gives his clients an added advantage as he can
teach what to eat pre and post exercise, something that many diets fail
to offer. Implementing more carbohydrate before exercise is important
for booting energy levels, just as protein intake is for rebuilding
muscle.
“Once people start of the plan it’s very hard to come off
because your taste buds change, your energy increases and you feel much
less hungry during the day. So for that reason there is no yo-yo
effect, it’s a lifestyle change”.
