Weight Loss: Simple Steps to Good Nutrition

By Aaron Meredith

Good nutrition and eating healthy, nutrient rich foods is going to be very important if you are going to succeed in reaching your weight loss goals. The truth is it's no accident that people who practice good nutrition are able to do so regularly and on a consistent basis. Good nutrition takes a little planning and by following these simple steps, you will be on your way to eating better and achieving your weight loss goals in less time.

The truth is it takes more work to eat healthy nutritious meals than it does to eat junk and food that does nothing to move you towards your weight loss goals. "Junk" food (food that does not provide much nutritious value and does not help you achieve your weight loss goals) is far more convenient and accessible most of the time. This is why in order to eat health, you must plan.

The first step is to plan your meals as best you can. Take some time on the weekend (or whatever day is convenient for you) to plan your meals for the week or at least the next few days. Factor in where you will be and weather you can run out and get something healthy or if you will need to prepare something and bring it with you. By planning and having a clear idea of what you want to eat, you will greatly increase the likelihood of eating nutritious foods.

Another simple step is to get into the habit of buying fresh fruit and/or vegetables and bring them with you when you go to work. One reason people often eat poorly is because they get hungry and the only thing available to them is a vending machine with chips and candy bars. By having nutritious food in the form of fruits and/or vegetables right there for you, you will be able to consume nutritious snacks instead of junk from a vending machine.

Another simple step is to give yourself a cheat meal once in a while. As odd as this may sound, by giving yourself a cheat meal every now and again, you satisfy the urge you may have for a particular food that you really enjoy which may not be all that healthy. I wouldn't advocate more than one or two cheat meals a week. However taking one or two meals per week in which you allow yourself to indulge in items you really enjoy will be very satisfying and allow you to keep on course the rest of the week.

Follow these simple steps and you will be on your way to eating healthier and achieving your weight loss and fat loss goals in less time.
