The secret to living a happy, healthy, trim and fit life is in how well you eat.
In fact, living trim, living fit and look good is as simple as making Mother Nature your Nutritionist for life.
.
She’s already given us exactly what we need, in the way we would need them and in the right proportions.
So if we go down the list, that would translate to around 55% water, a good chunk of greens, a reasonable amount of veggies, a handful of fruits and a tiny dose of nuts and seeds.
And how about Milk, Meat, Cookies, and Doughnuts?
Since most of us aren’t tall enough to reach any of the Kitchen Cabinets we settle for Mother’s milk by default, which is more than Okay because it’s got absolutely everything we need (provided the Mom eats all the right stuff). Besides, it’s so much less work and cleaning up afterward.
But it’s not “normal” for humans or any other creature to depend on Milk after their infancy. Milk plays the role of providing an easy to consume, push button, meal-in-one alternative, at a time in our lives where we’re toothless, hairless and clueless.
So, even though we’ve made Milk part of our everyday lives, it wasn’t a part of our Creators “blueprint”. Therefore we should treat it as a meal substitute even when used with our Coffee, Tea or Cocoa.
How about Meat? Well, how about no meat instead?
Ever tried hunting down a sheep or a cow or anything that hasn’t been smoking crack, with your bare hands?
If that didn’t go too well, it maybe because you were missing a couple of things that licensed hunters such as Cats and Koalas have such as Fangs and Retractable claws.
Either that or they just run faster.
But the hiccups don’t stop there. Red meat is now said to be the leading cause of Cancer. And if Red Meat is that bad, I highly doubt that the other meats are as innocent as they appear to be. I mean, it’s not like all the Ducks, the Turkeys, and the Chickens just beamed down from a flyby Spaceship one night.
And how about Doughnuts, Pizzas, Burgers, and Candyfloss?
Processed foods of any form, has much the same effect on our bodies as an air pump does on inflatables mattress. They can also lead to numerous life-threatening health conditions such as heart disease, diabetics, cancer, obesity and a few other less than ideal pains in the butt.
Now, that doesn’t mean you should give up on em for good. But it does mean that you should refrain from any kind of processed food for at least 6 days a week.
So, here’s what our Creator’s very own health, fitness and weight loss blueprint looks like:
1. Since the creation process places a huge emphasis on Water, we fulfill that requirement by drinking at least one glass of water every hour of every day for as long as we continue to have an insatiable appetite for Oxygen.
The positive impact this has on weight loss, weight maintenance and on just about every aspect of your health is nothing short of miraculous.
2. Stick to eating Raw and Fresh produces for 6 full days a week.
Fresh Produces are basically what you find in nature, except for the cute stuff such as Kittens and Puppies. So, that would be leafy greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. You can toss in a few eggs and some milk in there too for the extra protein. But keep them to a minimum as us “omnivores” weren’t designed to process that stuff as well.
At the same time, if you don’t particularly enjoy looking like a rabbit during mealtimes, you might wanna consider having these in the form of smoothies and egg salads (as I do). Feel free to season your salads with healthy oils such as Olive or Sesame Oil and all natural spices and herbs. The oils goes a long way in putting those hunger pangs right to sleep.
As per the smoothies, I would suggest trying out any of the recipes that come with a Nutrininja, Nutribullet, Vitamix or any other bad ass blender than can make those veggies look like whipped cream in seconds.
And as long as you stick with the hourly water ritual, how often you have these and how much is entirely up to you. I alternate between smoothies and salads and have one every 2-4 hours. But don’t wait longer than 4 hours without a smoothie or salad as this often leads to Binging tenancies.
At the beginning, it’s all about falling in love with the new lifestyle and the amazing health and energy you feel as a result. You can introduce “portion control” 6-12 months down the line or whenever you feel comfortable doing so. This is a lifestyle, not a diet. So don’t do anything that makes you cringe or even contemplate the possibly of reverting back.
3. Go for a 10-minute slow walk around the block every day
If we were living out in the wild wild wilderness surrounded by dozens of Big Bad wolves and Giraffes with Gangster tendencies, we would have to keep our legs reasonably active in order to stay alive. And whilst each of these “survival workouts” didn’t always have a happy ending back then, it usual does now.
Walking and running in any form is good exercise and makes a huge difference to your weight and your health (in a good way).
But start out easy with a 10-minute slow walk and increase it’s duration and intensity over the coming weeks gradually, until you can comfortably do 30-minute power walks whilst doing cartwheels.
Then later when your legs are feeling pumped and already ready to run on their own, give them something a little more fun and intense like P90X3.
