Health, Diet, And Your Fitness Schedule

Do you remember growing up hearing "You are what you eat"

? Today, we know that there is definitely truth behind this statement, because what you put into your body is what you are going to get out of it. It is now proven that nearly every molecule of the human body is replaced every 12 months. So what did you make your new you from? It stands to reason if your diet consists solely of junk food, sugars, and high-fat, how motivated are you to stick to a fitness schedule? When you consume unhealthy foods, it makes you feel unhealthy and tired; therefore, you have zero motivation to hit the gym.

Before you can successfully begin and stick to a fitness schedule, you need to work on changing your fuel. Food is fuel for the body, so think about your vehicle for a moment, you know the one that carries you around 24/7 if it is a gas-powered vehicle and you put diesel fuel in the tank, would it run efficiently? It would not run very well at all and in fact, you could damage several parts of your vehicle by choosing the wrong fuel. Your body is no different, when you choose the wrong fuel (junk food, high-fat diet), not only do you end up gaining weight and not feeling motivated to work out, but you risk your health, such as your heart and many other vital organs that are affected by the fuel given to your body, including your skin (the largest organ you have in your body) your skin is a good indicator of wellness; is your skin dry, lacking in good color, sheen, does it have spots regularly.

When you are looking to eat healthier in order to have the energy to stick to a fitness schedule, do not make the change drastically. For instance, if you are used to consuming burgers and pizza as your main staple, do not begin the next day with eating nothing but leafy salads or you will spend most of the day craving! Instead, begin slowly by adding healthier choices and for each healthy choice you add, remove an unhealthy food over a chosen length of time 9 not too long though). For instance, if you like fried chicken nuggets, replace them with baked white meat chicken with no skin covered with a little honey and mustard combination.

Finally, the key to creating and sticking with a workout schedule is to look at your current situation and set realistic goals for both your diet and workout schedule. Trying to abruptly change your diet from one extreme to the next will surely result in digestive upsets, but changing slowly as you begin your weekly workout routine will help you transition into a healthier lifestyle.
