The Pyramid Principle Of Weight Loss
Health and Fitness July 4th, 2009Ever heard people say “you are what you eat”?Well, that is only part of the story. You are when you eat also! If you plan your meals from smallest to biggest, this is exactly how your figure will look. This principle is a key component in any holistic nutrition program.
I’m guessing that this sounds completely insane right now…so let’s try this another way.
Can you tell me what food is really?It is energy for the body.If food gives us energy, then what part of the day requires the most?Which meal Of course, when we get up!
We need to eat our biggest most calorific meal at breakfast.
What is the typical American diet?How about a Pop-tart for breakfast, burger and fries for lunch, spaghetti and meatballs with sauce, garlic bread, milk and dessert for dinner.
Give your body a meal plan that looks like an up-side down pyramid eating the most calories in the morning and eatling the least calories for dinner. This gives you all day to burn off all those heavy fats and sugars.
A whole grain breakfast burrito for breakfast,
A steak salad with bleu cheese crumbles, sunflower seeds and olive oil and lemon dressing for lunch
Grilled turkey meat loaf and grilled asparagus for dinner.
Notice how the calorie count got smaller with each meal?You always want to eat the least amount of calories before you go to sleep.Since you are not expending energy moving around, your body will take the food and store it in your fat cells for a rainy day. A good natural weight loss and detox program makes sure that you keep a healthy weight by using foundational principles like the pyramid principle.
Part 2 of this rule states that you need to try to eat before 7pm. This is because naturally, we are designed to wind down before bed and not eat.
Remember: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen and dinner like a pauper and you should increase your weight loss by 100%
