Good Diet=Life Style

I have been dieting on and off since way before my wedding and you know why!
All that, and unfortunately, nothing gave me the results I required!
It wasn’t until I visited one of the best nutritional experts in the country, that I realized that what I was doing was “dieting”, when what I really needed was a “life style” in terms of food.
And so it goes:
1.       You are asked a bunch of questions about your weekly routine, your food preferences according to certain variable (like what would you eat if you’re super hungry, super angry, or super happy, what you would prefer between chocolate and chips…),
2.       You get on that notorious scale that always adds that extra kilogram,
3.       You do the body composition analysis,
4.       And then, you sit for “the talk”!
The Talk includes:
1.       The do’s and don’ts according to your body type,
2.       The limits or portions your allowed in terms of carbs, proteins, sugars, and fats,
3.       And the things you should absolutely abolish from your existence if you ever wish to maintain the weight your about to loose in the upcoming weeks.
At first you will panic, and say it’s just not possible; but when you finally sum up the courage to give it a chance and do the effort, you will realize that it’s all about balance.
My current life style does not include juice, buns, beans and lentils. It permits only one portion of bread, chocolate, and fruit. But then again, I get a generous amount of chicken, beef, fish, white cheese, and eggs.
Ok... Ok... I admit, I only needed to loose 4 kg, but still… now I know how to tackle the extra weight if I ever commit Roadster Diner again!
