Having difficulty to simply get up and head your way towards the gym? Well, you are not alone. For most people, it takes a lot of mental energy and commitment to jump and move towards the gym on time. But to show up is in the gym is only half the battle, because physically being present and being focused on giving 100% to your workouts is not the same.

If you are getting little older (like me) and / or have to deal with every day duties and family life, to overcome this mental blocks is even more important to you. We all know that coming home after work and than having to deal with everyday house hold life is stressful and can really hinder your training progress. It is very difficult for most of us to go to the gym after you’ve put in 8, 10, or 12 hours of work. I want to share with you something that can help you overcome this obstacle.

Before that, I simply took care about school work and trained. Oh, how I missed those days when I had all the time in the world and most of it was dedicated to working out. But then the things changed completely! I’m sure nobody has to explain how it feels to come home after 10 or 12 hour long working hours filed with stress. Read the rest of this entry »

Have you anything to say about your mother, you must eat food slowly and do you sit? Someone told me that all the time. But sometimes I do not listen and I ate my meal in a hurry.

Now, after several years have passed, I must admit that my mother was right. She gave me one of the best advice for weight loss in the world. Having good eating habits is a very important element of a healthy diet. It is surprising, but the speed that you eat, the food has much to do with weight gain.

Recent studies have shown that obese people eat faster than lean. In addition, obese individuals bites bigger than normal people. There are several types of food you used to force them slowly. By adding these foods in your diet you will quickly develop good eating habits, eat slowly and savor every bite.

These types of foods are:

Food that makes fiber concentrations. Because only a small amount for this type of food you feel full faster and for a period of time longer to do.

Types of food that is rich in water. This way, you will feel much more comprehensive. For example, try to eat cucumbers or fruit. You can try, melons, apples, pears, berries, and many other foods. You can also cook some vegetables. Vegetables boiled in water and they fill the stomach better. Eat food slowly and that much water, is key.

Another recommendation is to eat, chew many asked. Because we’re busy trying to chew, you are obliged to eat slowly. For example, some try to chew the food and see what happens. You can try fibrous vegetables like broccoli, carrots or cabbage.

You can also try to eat, have a great energy. This way, you’re tired of eating them and they will not overeat. Try vegetables rich in fiber protein. Do not forget fruits and vegetables.

Even if you eat, you should avoid drinking fluids, because they mess with your stomach and gastro-intestinal funding streams, reducing the intensity.

In all the studies I have read the basic and all the examples I have seen with my own eyes, I also concluded that a question of good nutrition and include all beverages, calories. From time to time, you use a protein shake, but at regular times when you can drink water or soft drink, choose juice instead of sugar. This is what happens to a healthy diet. You should also avoid coffee, soft drinks and fruit juices, sugar. You may not believe but liquid calories are one of the most important sources of hidden calories.
