Eat Well, Lose Weight While Breastfeeding: The Complete Nutrition Book for Nursing Mothers, Including a Healthy Guide to the Weight Loss Your Doctor Promised

All fad diets have one thing in common — they’re diets. They are like a pair of bell
bottom pants. They are in for a couple of years and they’re gone. Then they find
they’re way back just when the fitness professionals know we are ready to eat ‘em
up again…no pun intended. When you’re trying to burn fat, you really should avoid
these things like the plague.

Now, realistically many of these diets will provide some initial fat loss for many people.
So you get some weight loss initially, but you could also lose some muscle on these
programs too, and you know that losing muscle can spell disaster to your fat burning
efforts. But the bigger problem with these diets is that most who follow outlandish
diets gain back the fat they lost, and then some!

On top of that, they often recommend focusing too much on one type of food, which
can lead to unhealthy eating habits. I’ve found they are too strict to be realistically
followed, especially for a long period of time, and they’re no fun. And anything you
can’t follow as a lifestyle will not burn fat in the long run.

You see, the very concept of a diet is doomed to fail. Why? Diets are based in a
temporary mindset. The fact that someone goes on a diet means they will have to
come off of the diet. This is temporary…why force yourself to lose 10 pounds when
you’re just going to gain it back and then some when you go off of the diet? That
may sound simple, but most people just don’t get it…they look to diets as the answer
to their weight and health problems. But they’re not the answer, and they actually
create more problems for you. People who are regular dieters don’t burn fat over
the long haul.

If you seek life long fat burning, health and fitness in a lean body, you should take
some advice from my mom, and probably your mom too. When I think about it,
probably the best base of nutritional knowledge I received was from my mom. For the
most part, my mom was right. She didn’t know anything about fat burning, but she
made sure I got nutritious foods growing up.

She especially made a point to make sure I ate my vegetables, especially the green
ones. She limited sugary stuff and other junk, but didn’t totally eliminate it, making it
a special treat for me on occasion. She tried to provide a balanced offering of the
different food groups throughout the day.

Thanks, Mom! Mom’s diet was actually quite sound, and I’ve found that heeding some
of this advice in the pursuit of maximum fat burning and a lean healthy body for the rest
of your life is a smart way to go.

You see, your body naturally craves foods rich in nutrients (antioxidants, phyto
nutrients, fiber, vitamins, minerals, etc.) When you eat most of your meals from
foods rich in important nutrients, your body will body will be satisfied and overeating
won’t be much of a problem.

You then begin to burn fat as a natural result of giving your body what it thrives on.
On top of that, you’re lowering your risk for disease by promoting a natural alkaline
environment in your body with these types of foods.

If you do the opposite and eat most of your meals from foods lacking in nutrients, you’ll
keep eating and eating and eating to satisfy your nutrient needs. This leads to too
many calories and a person who will just keep getting fatter and more prone to develop
increased risk for disease with an acidic environment in the body. When this happens,
you can just kiss fat burning goodbye.

So nutrition for fat loss, fitness, and health really all do go hand in hand. My Fat Burning
Furnace students have changed their lives permanently, by simply altering what they put
in their bodies…and you can do it to.

Focus on foods rich in nutrients. In part two of this article, I’ll get more specific in helping
you make the transition from your current lifestyle to the one you desire. One where your
body seemingly burns fat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with little effort.
