E.L.E.M

I'm experimenting on this new healthy fitness plan called E.L.E.M. It stands for Eat Less Exercise More. So far its kind of working... First I thought of missing meals then someone told me it really wasn't healthy and think of another way to stay fit. Don't get me wrong I'm not a fat person I just need to control my weight so that I'm prepared when I'm older. I'm actually skinny but when I put on weight it goes to my thighs and belly - that's annoying!

1.FRUITS 
Eating more raw fruits and vegetables regularly helps.

2.SUGAR AND NUTS
Reduce the amount of sugar you eat a day. When choosing between Snickers and a Mars bar, don't get confused and choose Snickers just cos it has nuts. Try choosing nothing at all and settle for a yoghurt.

3.MEALS
When I say "Eat Less" it does not mean starve yourself or eat but then guiltily binge - it means no snacks in between meals. Think it like this no snacks in between meals = more appetising meals. Your meals may become something you love. When you are at school or so and you're sharing food and someone offers something to you, refuse. Eating just your own food is enough. Don't get tempted and resist - but once in a while a treat is worth it!

4.EXERCISE 
When your on a diet, exercise regularly... It's like doing 10 push-ups daily for a week and then moving onto 15 push-ups daily for the next. You're not going to get anywhere if you don't push yourself little by little - you'll stay exactly where you are. There are loads of exercises that helps you maintain a fit figure - running, cycling, etc.

5.FOOD
When you eat those meals still choose a healthy choice. There's no point in all the no-snacks and exercising if you eat burgers, chips and fizzy drinks for all three meals. I'm not asking for you to eat salad but a variety of the food groups.

Eating the right amount can help you lose a few kg. It's not about starvation but about accuracy.
