Diet Coke Nutrition Facts Top 5 DietLifestyle Adjustments to Lose Weight.
Hey whats up guys, today we would like to go over our top 5 ways that you can adjust your diet/lifestyle in order to help you achieve your weight loss goals. These are going to be simple yet effective adjustments that anybody can implement into their daily routine and quickly see results. So let's get to it!!!
1. Reduce your daily sugar intake -
As I recall , the last I heard the average Americans sugar intake is roughly 25% , now that is a problem when you consider that the daily recommendation is 10%. So the average person is consuming more than twice their daily recommended value, leading us down a path of degenerative diseases such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and many more undesirable conditions. We recommend eliminating sodas such as coke and pepsi, also try to reduce/eliminate consumption of processed foods and unhealthy snacks.
2. Alcohol consumption
Lets be honest with ourselves in saying that we all like to have a good time, and with that comes alcohol. This is an area that we can all benefit from greatly. If we are going to go out and have a good time lets keep it to a minimum. It has been proven that 1-2 drinks a night for women and 2-3 drinks for men is ideal, but anything beyond that becomes detrimental to your health. But if you are going to drink then try this, this is something that we can do and that is to try and keep a low carb attitude about drinking alcohol. For example drink low carb beer when you are out, but if you are more a liquor/mix drink kind of guy or gal then try and mix it with soda water or one of your favorite diet drinks with no sugar. Doing that alone will greatly reduce the amount of carbs/sugar you consume while drinking alcohol.
3. Fast food
It is well known to us and the rest of the world that America is a fast food nation. There is no pretty way to put this, fast food needs to pretty much be eliminated from our diets completely! We do realize that we are all in a hurry and that makes the fast food free diet nearly impossible, so we go through our local burger joint here and there. Our advice to you, and it has shown in our diet, if you go to these places you need to make a couple of changes on how you go about eating there. First you need to cut the fries. I know there good and I love them too, but they are killing us as Americans. Simply substitute them for a yogurt or a fruit cup. Also if you grab a burger (We recommend the grilled chicken) take off one piece of bread(open face or European style) or remove both pieces of bread altogether and be done with the white bread that contains absolutely zero nutritional value. And lastly, if you are going to order a drink please get the unsweet tea or a sugar free beverage that is offered at the particular establishment in which you are dining.
4. Late night eating habits
I feel very strongly about this one, as it is understandable that as your day comes to a close energy use begins to dwindle and your body is preparing to shut down for the nights rest. When you are asleep your body is in a repair/recovery mode and your metabolism is almost at a standstill. Really watch the carbohydrate intake during the final 3-5 hours before you go to sleep, usually most of those carbs will end up being stored as fat because your body will not require their use for energy at this point in your day. Attempt to get your calories in these final hours of your day from lean meats, veggies, and maybe a slower digesting protein such as casein protein.
5. Begin an exercise routine immediately
If you work on points 1-4 a healthy, positive and more energetic lifestyle awaits you. But if you really want to complete the lifestyle adjustment then a minimum of 3-4 days of exercise per week is absolutely necessary. In fact the American College of Sports Medicine recommends adding a cardio/strength training program to your daily regimen. Anywhere from 3-5 days a week of cardio training for a minimum of 20 minutes and 5-8 strength training exercises will do wonders for any individual looking to lose or maintain their current weight.

So guys and girls implement these adjustments into your diet and lifestyle and I know you will be on your way to a better you.
