What makes you fat?

Simply put we eat more calories than we burn off in a day’s time. Take for instances a person that drives a truck for a living and has to unload and load all day long. Now even though they may not get to the gym daily the amount of energy they are burning is probably off setting what they are eating, unless they are eating a slab of ribs at every stop lol.

Now take a person that sits all day at their job in a call center, talking to people all day long. While it does take extra energy to talk, sitting all day long does not require you to eat substantial amounts of food. You should still eat 3 to 4 hour small healthy meals. But overloading is only going to result in weight gain.

So for both examples I recommend eating 3 to 4 hour with small meals. In each meal make sure you have some protein, carbohydrate and good fat. Now to avoid failing this task, plan your meals out the day before. Already know what you are going to eat just like you know you have to be at work at a certain time know what you are eating. Stop leaving it to chance what you are putting in your mouth.

Take some time on the weekend or whenever you have time and lay out your meals. I have found that for the most part I have default foods that I eat. And that has come from me initially taking the time to journal, measure, read label and plan my food.

Take some time and invest in you, because you are all you got when it is all said and done. Live the best life you can and start with investing in your health.

Next stop making excuses why you can not exercise. Start with fifteen minutes a day and build to 45 minutes a day, so that 15, 20 or even 50 years from now you will be abundantly wealthy in health. Because you just never know where being healthy is going to come in handy.
