5 Diet Tips for Weight Loss

On a scale of 1 to 10, how CONFUSING is nutrition to you?

With "more confusing than setting a VCR clock" being a 10, I bet most of you give nutrition a 9 out of 10 on the confusion scale. So let me simplify nutrition today.

But first, you must know that the right nutrition strategy for you will be based on your personality. That is why I can say that all of the following approaches are guarantee to work for many of you...

a) Eat-Stop-Eat => For the busy person who doesn't want to even think about the word diet, let alone go through the dieting process. For more info => Click here for the details on Eat-Stop-Eat

(BTW, the last 2 contest winners both used ESE. Coincidence? I think not!)

b) Dr. Chris Mohr's Nutrition for Fat Loss Guidelines => For the person who likes the regimented, high-energy 6-meals/snacks per day.

c) Isabel De Los Rios Advanced Nutrition Strategies => For folks who want to take it to the next level of low-body fat that will help them see their six pack abs. I use a combination of Dr. Mohr's and Isabel's strategies 95% of the time.

Each of those diets hits a different personality. But at the most basic level, we ALL know what we should and shouldn't be eating for fat loss.

It's putting it into play that is the difficult thing...and that's where those personality-based plans help you finally succeed.

But if you are a beginner, anything will work. So just follow these 5 basic, super-simple diet rules to eat for weight loss.

1) Find out how much you are eating now. Use fitday.com.

2) If you are not losing weight, eat less.

3) Eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, and good protein sources. Don't eat junk from a bag or a box.

4) Give yourself one treat meal per week to look forward to - not a treat day, just a treat meal.

5) Plan ahead. Prepare your meals (spend 1-2 hours on the weekend getting your meals and meal plan ready for the week). Identify obstacles and come up with solutions to avoid them.

That's it.

There's a saying in the fitness industry, "you can't out-train a bad diet", and that hold's true almost 100% of the time (and
especially as you get older).

Give your diet the respect it deserves,
