Eating Habits From NYC Personal Trainer

6/16/2007

In order to accomplish your fitness goals, it is important to change your life style and get on a diet. Believe it or not, your personal trainer cannot do much if you do not cooperate… Here are some dieting tips:

Rule #1

It is better to eat smaller amounts but more often. Try to eat 5 times a day.

Rule #2

You have to know which foods contain sugar. You do need to eat some, because they are a source of energy, but try to focus on the healthy ones. These are foods that contain good sugars: fruit, rice, pasta, whole wheat bread, potatoes… In general, what the amounts of sugar… too much of good is bad for you.

Rule #3

Proteins are also important. Sources of proteins that are good for you are: white meat, low fat diary produce, eggs…

Rule #4

Now, this is important! In order to have an effective diet eat foods with sugar before lunch, and foods with proteins after lunch

Rule #5

Drink lots of water all day long! Oh yes, and add some fresh lemon. Lemon burs calories and is also good for your skin. If you drink water during the day, you will not feel as hungry (good old trick from the under-nurtured children of Africa)

Rule #6

Include vegetables with every meal!

Rule #7

Exercise at least 3 times a week!

NYC Personal Trainer recommends this daily meal plan

I. Breakfast

a) Cereals with yogurt or with fat free milk, coffee with fat free milk and a glass of water

b) Fruit salad with fat free yogurt

II. Snack

10 o'clock snack Banana or apple

III. Lunch [Do it the European way: have a bigger lunch and a smaller dinner]

IV. Snack

3 o'clock snack: Whole wheat bread with tomato or with cheese [low fat]

V. Dinner

[don't eat after 7PM! Calories do not burn when you sleep so they turn into fat. Eating before you go to bad is the worst thing ever! ]
