5 nutritional tips for you

This is always tough to admit, but nutrition is more important
than your workouts when it comes to fat loss.

And since diet is more important than exercise, I've decided
to spend a lot time sharing nutrition tips this week, starting
with these 5 diet secrets:

1) Your nutrition program doesn't have to be extreme.

Hold up on making any extreme diet changes. Make sure
the nutrition plan you've chosen is sustainable. Simple diet
changes go a lot farther than you might think.

Why not just eat more whole, natural foods rather than
trying to go on an impossible-to-stick-to ultra-low carb
extreme plan?

2) Get the junk out of the house.

If it's in your house, you'll eat it...and trust me, this goes for
me too. When I visit a relative's house for holiday, I always
eat the treats they have sitting around. That's why I keep
the junk out of my house.

So whatever your weakness is, keep it out of your home.

Success is that simple.

3) Fill in the "diet-killing" gap.

For some folks, the diet-killing gap is between work and
dinner. For others, it's between dinner and bedtime, but
for almost everyone, there is a point in the day when we
suffer from mindless eating.

So make sure you have alternatives...as soon as you come
home from work, cut up vegetables and dip them into
hummus. That will keep you full on a small amount of
calories.

After dinner, if you need something sweet, stir up chocolate
protein powder into a small bit of plain yogurt. That will
satisfy you.

4) Chew your food 5-10 times before swallowing.

Most people eat so fast they only chew about 1-2 times.
You'll really notice a difference and you'll slow your eating
so you feel full.

5) Have a bowl of broth-based vegetable soup before a
meal.

American researcher Barbara Roll has published a lot of
studies showing that this will help you reduce the food
you eat. Surprisingly, consuming just water doesn't seem
to do the same trick.

So those are just 5 of the diet secrets we have for you now.

Stay tuned for proven secrets to help you lose fat in 2010.
