Below are some of the suggestions for you to overcome your excuses which i find are useful : -
Excuse 1 : I don't have the time to organise nutritious meals everyday
Actully, you can still eat healthily even when on the run. Prepare a packed lunch the night before, such as chicken and salad wholemeal sandwich, or, have a snack bar as your breakfast to avoid an empty stomach.
Excuse 2 : I only have time for fast food lunches
Fast food lunch is popular among working adults. Fast food is high in sodium and fat, with the soda drink relatively high in sugar. This will increase the risk in becoming fat or overweight. It is encouraged that working adult should choose healthier food ie. low-fat yougurt, tuna flakes, almonds, low-sodium soups and fruitsExcuse 3 : I feel empy if i don't consume rice or noodles
Rice and noodles are asian favourite. white bread, noodles adn white rice are rich in refined carbohydrates which are considered bad carbo as it can cause a sudden surge in blood sugar.
Whole gains, vegetable and fruits also contains carbo, but these are good carbo.
To control yourself from overeating carbo, add protein to each meal ie. fish, tuna, eggs or soy tunas
Excuse 4 : I have to attend many social gatherings. I can't lose weight in that type of environment
Eating consistently and moderation are important in this. Exercise and healthy diet are more crucial than attending many social gatherings. Do everything moderately will ensure you are having a healthy lifestyle.
This is a really good article that highlights the common excuses that people use to not watch their diet or train. If we as fitness professionals can force people to do something for 21 days then that action will become a habit which they can carry forward into their daily lives
ReplyDeleteI certainly agree with u about that. Once it becomes a habit, all our actions will be natural.
