Live In The City And Starting To Get Fit? Let’s Take A Look At Your Daily Diet
Although losing weight if you live in London might seem like an impossible task to do, as you seem to have no spare time whatsoever, with a bit of planning – and signing up to a London gym helps – you can drop weight, keep it off and stay healthy.
Whilst attending a London gym should be done regularly, you also need to look at your diet and if you’re struggling to understand what to eat, take a look though these four points for your different meals throughout the day.
1. Breakfast Cialis Jelly – the most important meal of the day, it’s imperative that you have at least something to eat within an hour of you waking.
The reason behind this is that if you wait until lunch time to have something to eat, your body’s metabolism will not have started fully, meaning that when lunch time comes, it will take a lot longer to digest your food and turn it into energy, so it will remain stored as fat for longer.
You don’t have to have anything substantial – although grilled bacon, poached egg, mushrooms and wholegrain toast is a particularly healthy option – but a bowl of fibre based cereal, a piece of fruit or even a low fat-low sugar cereal bar if you’re in a rush would be suitable.
2. Lunch – whilst what you can have for lunch depends on where you work and what facilities you have available, generally speaking you should be looking to have something which is relatively substantial and contains carbohydrates, so to slowly release energy throughout the afternoon.
A jacket potato would, for example, be ideal and to make this a more balanced option, you could add a small salad and some baked beans for protein or a sprinkling of cheese instead.
There is always the option to take a salad or sandwiches, but the problem is neither are particularly good at keeping you full and energetic throughout the day, unless you spend a lot of time thinking about what to include in them.
The most important point to remember here is not to buy shop bought meals as a general rule, as they are more than likely to contain high levels of fats and salts.
3. Dinner – your last meal of the day should also be your most substantial as whilst you may be following it with eight hours sleep and so won’t feel hungry, your body will still feel the affects if you don’t eat much.
Generally speaking you can eat what you want at this time of day, as long as you keep in mind two separate points – the first being that your meal should consist of roughly a third protein, a third carbohydrates and a third vegetables and the second being steer away from anything that is prepared by a shop, such as microwave meals or jar sauces.
4. Snacks – everyone gets hungry at some point during the day and although you might think it will have a negative impact on your diet if you snack, it will actually have a positive one, as long as you snack healthily.
Ditch the chocolate bars and crisps and eat carrot sticks or fresh fruit and you’ll soon feel the difference as your body becomes used to eating regularly, meaning your metabolic rate will increase, which in turn means you digest food quicker, allowing for it to spend less time in your body to be turned into fat.
