How To Not Be A Loser: 5 Things That’ll Keep You Fat

July 15, 2010 No Comments

Now, don’t get any ideas from that yummy picture! These bowls of sweet yumminess are part of the problem. Read on and see what’s keeping you from being a loser.

1. Eat lots of foods that have “high fructose corn syrup” in the ingredients. Frankly, if you start reading the labels, you’ll find that it’s hard to find foods that don’t contain this ingredient. No wonder why we’re fluffy.

2. Eat late in the evening. Your metabolism slows down in preparation for sleep mode, so if you eat late, calories will not have the opportunity to be used for energy. You can think of it like this: Eating late is like adding the yeast to the dough. Your belly’s like the dough, and it sure as heck is gonna rise!

3. Don’t exercise. I think this one is a bit obvious. The whole “calories in -calories out” concept is pretty basic. If you’re eating more calories than your body can burn, you’re not going to be a loser.

4. Drink lots of coffee and soda. These products do nothing to help you be a loser. Even the diet ones. The sodas contain carbonation, which not only strips calcium from your bones, but it also greatly dehydrates your body. Caffeine does the same thing. What you really need is pure, unadulterated water, as yucky as it may sound.

5. Buy groceries when you’re hungry. How many times have you purchased twice as much stuff as you would normally have just because you were hungry?. Problem is, the topic of food doesn’t usually cross your mind until you’re hungry. Begin making a conscience effort to ensure your appetite is satisfied before you do your shopping. Also, take a list and tell yourself that if it isn’t on the list, you’re not gonna buy it – and stick to it!

These are just five examples of the things that are keeping us fat. There are certainly more, but changing even one or two of them can have a huge impact on your body. The first one is a HUGE one. But then again, so is exercise.

However, my personal trainer told me that 80-90% of losing weight is in what you eat. So, if you’re not ready to get active, start by going through the fridge and the pantry, and eliminate the foods with high fructose corn syrup. That should keep you busy for awhile. *grin*

What food do you think will be the hardest to dump?
