OK - this is the right time? Well, is not it ? It's March and I 'm sure you still think you want to be healthy and lean this year. It is not too late - in fact, it is never too late. So do you want for yourself ?

I'll give you some tips on how to make this possible - What do you think ?

A . Disclaimer perfect. I know this is hard to do. We have been so conditioned to always do the right thing . But you can do the right thing is not always the best way to learn. In particular when it comes to weight loss and weight maintenance . The truth is that I do not know anyone who has not had a period in his life is in his power has been a source of problems for them . Really hard to believe - but most people struggle with is your weight, eating the right things , eat the right things at the right time to eat, eat enough and not too little, or too little. As you can see , the very nature of our food is uneven ground and still trying to be perfect in a healthy diet can set you up for failure in which all stop trying . Do your best for a meal at a time. This brings me to my next tip ...

Two . The 80/20 . If you can follow a healthy diet 80 % of the time , you will 80 % of the results , and that's fine - do not you think ? Let's face it 80% or even 50% is better than 0 %. Prepare to be " good" 100 % of the time can not be maintained for a short period . So give yourself a break and the 80% target . In this way , you will feel virtuous and strong commitment to the most time and you will begin to lay the foundation for a healthier life - now and in the future.

Three . Forget the beans. I know, I know - how can you live without beans ? Well abandon most grains keep quinoa , millet and maybe some rice from time to time, but that's all. It takes practice to stay away from the bread basket , cookies and even foods that are marketed as healthy as protein or granola bars . But you 'll do much better without most cereals . What is fiber - you ask? How to work my guts , and no fiber is also important to reduce cholesterol ? Yes , fiber is critical and I know there are a lot of fiber in fruits and vegetables. Even protein contains a certain quantity of fibers as well .

April. Say goodbye to juice. What is a standard plan - how you can give it too much? Remember I mentioned fiber ? You do not get much or all of the juice. In addition to this - is very high in fructose ( fruit sugar ) , which is a challenge for the liver to process and use . Think of it this way, you do not have to sit and eat eight oranges in one sitting and - right? Well, that's exactly what you get when drinking a glass of orange juice in the morning . And do not be fooled by this " heart healthy " fruit plate dish as full breakfast - it does set you up for blood sugar problems later in the morning. My rule of thumb is to always have protein at every meal - including breakfast - always !

May Eat by the clock. It makes your meal is not only a good habit, but is also a regular . Eating plan its more or less the same time every day meals . This sets your body to get used to a cycle of blood sugar , regulate digestion and energy . Your body and mind likes consistency and structure of a normal meal time brings. If you have the habit of skipping meals, have long periods between meals or snacks regularly because it ran out of fuel - which is on a slippery slope for sugar in the blood as well as problems of stress hormones in the future. Once you start to these hormonal changes will start to do all the rest of your body in no time . Give yourself peace of mind knowing that you will be fed and fed regularly . Your body will thank you.

Wanting to reform the not so healthy habits for health is always a good idea , not only at the beginning of a new year, but, of course , always.
