Making eating correctly a Lifestyle Part 1 - Eating every 2-3 hours
December 2005
I went from the pic above to the pic below in about 10-12 weeks. And more importantly it was MAINTAINED will now. Thats actaully the good part! Its Maintainable. I'm not a supermodel (legs too hairy) or a movie star who "buffs up" for a part so I dont just want to be lean for "show". I want to be leaner cos its healthier and better for sports so I want it all the time. I did this without counting calories or excessive running or other "cardio" nonsense. Rather developing good eating habits and lifting heavy stuff.Im going into more detail now about the habits I describe HERE at my original article. Once again credit to nutritionist John Berardi who wrote about good eating habits HERE. I will go through the habits one by one and how I applied them into the hectic schedule I keep. This round I will talk about how I implement Habit 1 - Eating Often (every 2-3 hours)
I keep fruits, nuts and protein powder (its just convenient and affordable food) around all the time (home, office, bag). Dried meat like beef jerkey is ok too but its kind of expensive...I also make sure that I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. So thats Breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, pre-bed snack (if I was active that day). The main thing is to be prepared with food. Its VERY easy to sit at the computer (or bed) and skip a meal. dont't let it happen. Decide that it won't!
