Thoughts for the day

My thoughts for the day: I was at work thinking about exercise and nutrition. It occurred to me that fat loss, exercise, and nutrition might be a very fragile system. Perhaps someone who has already reached their goal can comment on this. In the mean time here were my thoughts…

I have been told that nutrition plays a BIG part in fat loss and looking really lean, cut, and athletic. Granted some may not strive achieve this low of a body fat percentage, but for those of us who have never seen our own six pack abs. We all know we should avoid sugar because it changes your insulin levels which can cause the body to store energy as fat rather than burn it (or something like that). Correct? What if for those of us with spare tires left… are sabotaging ourselves by our eating habits? I know… I know… DUH right!

But here me out… it’s a basic realization but here it is. We all reward ourselves throughout the day, but what if that one piece of chocolate laced with sugar negates the whole day of following your nutrition plan.

Imagine this you get up in the morning and eat a perfectly healthy breakfast following your planned nutrition plan, but in the afternoon you have one nibble of your cube-mates chocolate bar. I’m not sure but what if this not only negates the morning but messes up your metabolism enough to totally negate your being good for dinner too. If this is true if you have have a little nibble in the morning what if this resets your metabolism to a sluggish mess.

So what you say? What if the trick to stoking your metabolism is akin to launching into orbit? Meaning you must build up enough un-interupted momentum to burn any fat? Wow this could change my whole approach to nutrition. I’ll have to do more research on this before I make any decisions… until then CHEERS!
