I used to only treat myself to tuna steak about twice a year.
Now I plan to have it at least once a month.

5 Quick Tips On Continuing To Eat Right/Better
As I said earlier and several times on the radio, I would
not have lost any weight or bought into the Train Studios program if all I
could eat was stuff that taste like card board and drink water.
I love food.
However, in making my lifestyle change Mc Donald’s could no
longer be a part of my every day, every week food pyramid. Neither could pizza
and a lot of other foods that I know now had been destroying my health.
On the day I am writing this it has been one month and 25
lbs since I had a soda.
Working out every day and not eating bread, or pasta, or
dessert is not easy but when I consider how much better I feel, it is easy
enough.
Still, I understand that some of you may be struggling with
food so here are my tips on how I stay on course through this new life style.
·
Eat. Don’t
Diet. Don’t Deny Yourself.
On my current “food
schedule” I eat 6 meals a day. Now my meals contain very little sugar (mostly
from stuff like ketchup or barbecue sauce.) My meals contain no bread products
or starch. So every 3 hours I have fish, chicken, or steak along with something
green. So because I am always eating I am a) rarely hungry and b) not snacking
between meals.
·
Diversify
Meals.
Remember me? The “I
Love Food Guy?” Well the hardest part about how I eat now is having a wide
enough variety of food. On the upside, I have added steak back to my current
menu (at least until I hit my goal weight.) On the downside I have the hardest
time keeping fish, chicken, turkey and the little beef I allow myself
interesting. One thing I do is use Hesh and the staff at Train as a life line
and we when ever I have questions, cravings, concerns about keeping the menu
fresh they are only a cell phone away. Plus they do provide several easy to
prepare recipes at www.TrainStudios.com.
Now I myself do not eat pork or shrimp but if you do enjoy.
I have also used this
new lifestyle as a way to treat myself to dishes I may have only had once or
twice a year like tuna steak.
·
Drink
Water
Drinking water period
just does wonders for the body. The professionals at Tran suggest 2 gallons
over a days time. I will say that drinking water is a key part of helping your
whole body reset. Drinking water also calms the cravings for between meal snacking
and also calms the craving to over eat. Many times when you don’t drink enough
water your mind will think you are hungry when actually you just have not drank
enough water.
·
Eat
Better When You Can’t Eat Right.
I ordered an oven
roasted chicken sandwich from Sub
Way. As I said I am not currently eating any bread.
The roll smelled so good I almost licked it before I threw it away. When I get
down to my goal weight. If I have to have that same sandwich. I can cut the top
half off. Or only take a bite or two from the bread. Very few of us eat 100%
right all the time.
When I knew Super
Bowl Sunday was coming, I talked to Hesh at Train because I knew there would The
Super Bowl would not be super for Raymond without chicken wings. Here’s how we
handled it.
- Called ahead to try and get in a order
for grilled wings.
- For one day I allowed myself to have
the “sticky sauce” and not worry about what was in it.
- Remembered all the hard work I already
but in so before I even put this plan in motion decided I would have an
enjoyable amount of wings but not SUPER BOWLS full.
- The Plan is The Most Important Thing
Planning is everything.
If your plan is to just block food out of your mind, I don’t think it will
work. For me I am always thinking about food and how I am going to make my
meals better, healthier, tastier more enjoyable. I can’t block food out of your
mind all day and then show up at an office party and think I am not going to
have something on my “food no fly list.” When I know I have a party or a restaurant
appearance I plan a head, so that when I get there I know what I am going to
eat and drink. Again if you are going out with friends from the job. Call ahead
and see what they have that would be good for you.
I hope these
tips help. If you are in good shape, keep up the positive lifestyle. Please consider Train to help
you stay that way or even improve your shape.
If you are not in the best of shape,
make that change today. YOU CAN DO IT!
Train Studios can definitely help.
