4 successful food and diet strategies...
are you using them yet?
If not, here's why you should be!
Believe it or not, the right nutritional strategy will propel you to success!! And of course you know which particular success I'm talking about, don’t you?
I’m talking about a fabulousbutt, fabulous thighs, flat stomach and thick lustrous hair.
Sorry – got a bit carried away, let’s just shoot for the fabulousbutt and the rest of it will fall into place, won’t it?
So let's begin.
4 Simple Strategies To Success!
1. What You Eat and Drink
 As you probably know, you must eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, moderate amounts of grains, oats, nuts and seeds, and small amounts of meat and dairy products. Add as many
good foods
to your diet as you can.
Minimize takeaways, processed foods, instant, and foods that are high in sugar, saturated fat, preservatives, emulsifiers, colorings, and other such additives. These are all
bad foods!
Do your best to eat good quality carbohydrates, proteins and good fats regularly.
Dark low carb chocolate
contains good fats and is good for you in small doses.
Minimise caffeine, sugar and additive loaded fluids. Substitute water or herbal tea,
green tea is fabulous!!
Also minimize alcohol, it's high in calories, it clouds your otherwise good judgement and it actually makes me hungry!
And rememeber, I didn't say eliminate, so the occasional glass of wine is OK, I’m not completely mad.
2. When You Eat and Drink
Never miss meals, especially breakfast, or your food and diet strategy will suffer. Aim for 3-4 meals a day. This will keep  you feeling full, it keeps your energy levels up and your metabolism ticking over nicely. Can you imagine how great that makes you feel?
If you get hungry at a certain time of the day, develop a strategy to deal with it. I have 6 delicious squares of dark chocolate every night, this stops me from hiding in the pantry with the cookies!
Coffee and tea tend to be used either as a wake-up or as a comforter, but here's the problem, overuse of caffeine won’t do you any good.
Alcohol has the highest potential to cause harm if over-indulged in, so be alert if you know this is a weak point for you.
3. Why You Eat and Drink
Because you're hungry, bored, cold, hot, tired, happy, sad, excited, angry, depressed, elated, celebrating, commiserating etc, etc… (that’s me right there – all of them). Almost anything can cause you to reach for food or drink.
Thirst often makes you think you're hungry, so keep your  fluid levels up, and what's more plenty of water will also help flush waste (related to cellulite) from your body.
Do your best to become a thinking drinker and a thinking eater, as it's very easy to take in snacks, nibbles, sugary, milky or alcoholic
calories
and not notice them.
4. How Much You Eat and Drink
Ensure your meals are large enough to satisfy, but not bloat you! Always leave the table feeling ‘comfortable’. If you have to loosen your belt then you've eaten too much, this is not a good food and diet strategy!
If you drink a lot of coffee, sugary drinks or alcohol - STOP!
 Substitute water or herbal tea, green tea is very refreshing and has some health benefits, it goes very nicely with dark chocolate too!
Minimize alcohol, even one glass of wine clouds my judgement, I become quite disinhibited around the crackers and cheese, the dip, the nuts…
Make a spritzer instead, mix your wine with soda-water or sugar-free 7Up, it cuts alcohol and calorie content.
To Summarise
 A sensible, but balanced, food and diet plan must form the basis of your fabulousbutt strategy, once you add
exercise
and cardio, your success is assured!
