Many people tend to avoid visiting a dietitian for a diet meal plan and prefer to rely on books or on the net, sometimes the results are quite good but most of the time the weight piles back.
A dietitian is trained to properly make you lose weight and is also equipped with the latest technologies in body impedance scale to measure your fat content which will insure a proper fat loss with an increased muscle mass. Fitness coaches give meal plans while training clients ,they are most of the time not eligible to do that unless they are dietitians or nutritionists at the sme time so make sure your coach has a certificate before engaging in whatever supplement or high protein diet they might prescribe. Fat burners are a big no no beware of prescriptions involving unregulated supplements that promise dream bodies.
One of the key success factors to weight loss and healthy living is positive thinking, what i mean by positive thinking is always surround yourself with supportive and encouraging people that will give you good vibes. Clear you mind from black and white thoughts especially when it comes to cravings, a piece of cake does not mean that you messed up or failed and you can go on eating the whole cookie jar. You should learn to differentiate between poisonous thoughts that usually comes from a critical inner voice and reality. Indulging is perfectly fine as long as it is satisfying ,no need to go overboard.
Porridge is one of the best breakfast idea as it will curb your hunger for the next meal and let you feel full longer than any other meal. Oat bran is good for the heart , it is high in fiber and can lower fat content. I usually mix it with soy milk, honey ,dried cranberries and walnuts for a heart healthy breakfast.
Athletes require a very complex diet ,rich in proteins relatively but also in good fats and carbohydrates and i mean by that whole wheat varieties of grains, avocados and raws nuts as well as veggies loaded with minerals,fibers and vitamins.
