7 Secrets to an Effective and Powerful Eating Plan (Part 2)
Sunday May 16, 2010 | Posted under Nutrition | 12 comments
In the first part of this article (click here to read it) we already spoke about Detoxing, Drinking more water and Snacking.
Let’s now continue to look at what other principals are absolutely vital to a successful eating plan.
Keep it simple
Don’t try and create the most exciting meal every time you cook. Keep it simple and concentrate on making sure you get the correct nutrition from your meals by combining a good quality portion of protein and carbohydrates in every meal. Remember at this stage you are not looking to become a gourmet chef, just a healthy, sexy individual.
Prepare in bulk
This is one of the principles that really helped me succeed in my own weight loss quest. When I cooked food, lets say chicken breasts, I would buy in bulk and cook all 20 breasts at once. Then for the next 2 or 3 days you don’t have to cook again and when you need to eat you can just grab an already cooked chicken breast from the fridge.
This really makes sticking to your eating plan a lot easier and prevents you from eating junk in a hunger frenzy.
Eating Breakfast
Now everybody knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this could not be more true.
Apart from providing you with the energy to perform all your daily tasks and exercise it is vitally important to kick start your metabolism into action. By skipping breakfast you deprive yourself of a very powerful aspect in making your weight loss program effective.
Make sure your breakfast includes a quality source of slow release carbohydrates and lean protein and is eaten within an hour of waking.
Increase your number of meals to 5 or 6.
To perform at the top, have loads of energy, and get lean — eat 5 to 6 small meals a day.
This strategy, used by athletes for decades, can improve your overall health and is really catching on among the ordinary population.
In such a way, eating often boosts the body’s basal metabolic rate or BMR. The higher your BMR, the more fat you burn, even when doing nothing or during sleep. But by eating 5 to 6 meals you will also improve your protein utilization, muscle growth and it will reduce your insulin levels (the fat storing hormone).
Remember, you will not be eating more, just dividing your traditional 3 large meals in half. Thus, the 5 to 6 meals will contain the same total amount of food and calories, but will be better used and burned.

good source vegetarian: egg white if eaten best. protein shakes. soya shakes. soya beans. tofu. cottage cheese. if eating milk should be doing the other forms of dairy…whey, soy, eggs. i would estimate 100g but can’t really say. just stick to palm size. avoid milk, cottage cheese better.
Hey Peter. . Love the information. . I have an important question as far as diet goes. I am about 5’9 and weigh 160lbs. I’m not fat, but I am also not lean. I would like to trim my stomach area, but I do not want to lose too much weight. Unfortunately, my living arrangement doesnt allow me much room for food shopping as I have 4 room mates and one small fridge. So I eat outside all day long. I have cut down from fast food and junk a great bit, but I was curious as to what I can do to better my diet and stay within a budget. As I had said, I do not want to lose too much weight, as I do not want to look skinny. But I definately want to continue to eat healthier and gain more energy. How can I better my situation?
I would actually tell you to go download my Beach Body Workout as there are many tips on how to eat better. Go do that and if you have more questions then come back and ask them. Good luck!
