Just Go Outside

So, we are not diet specialists at JGO. We do have thoughts about food and diet though.

“Keep it simple.” is our mantra!

If you are overweight, you don’t need us or some body mass index to tell you that. You know it. Dieting is super hard and we don’t understand it as a way of living. We want you to change your habits as a way to control weight and live well.

Here are a few simple steps that we feel work and start you on a road to lifestyle change.

If you need to lose some weight, it’s your body’s way of telling you that you don’t need those calories in the first place. When your brain is telling you that you are hungry, maybe your body is not hungry.

1. Start by consciously eating less of your normal diet. (maybe you eat ice cream every night… eat less tonight)  This is not easy. By habit you will serve yourself your normal portions, realize it and eat less. That’s it for starters.

2. Make it a RULE. There is no need for ‘seconds’. It tasted great, but your body doesn’t need it even if your brain loved the taste.

3. Look at the food you are eating. If it is not colorful, substitute something for food with some color and we don’t mean Cheetos.

   

      4.  Every 7 - 10 days, fast for 8 to 12 hours. The easiest way to do this is overnight and skip breakfast. Good things happen to your body with the occassional fast! 

So, that's it! "Keep it simple." and did we mention. justgOutside too!
