I can’t stop eating- Eat on a diet!

I can’t stop eating.
I can’t stop eating- Eat on a diet!

The season has started and you have completed your first few events, what adjustments can you make to your diet to improve your performance? What can you eat on a diet?The season has started and you have completed your first few endurance life events or perhaps you are training hard for your biggest challenge yet. Your winter training has paid off but you wander what adjustments you can make to get a few seconds per mile faster to beat your biggest rivals.
Now is the time to start thinking about nutrition. Appetite is one of the biggest keys to getting your weight down and increasing your power to weight ratio, and key to this is your daily intake and knowledge of what you can eat on a diet.

Our appetite has worked well for millions of years of evolution but our modern lifestyle means we can’t rely on our natural appetite, we spend so much time being sedentary that we easily eat too much and get fat. It is important to remember it takes 20 minutes for your body to recognise being full. There are a few things to look out for and change to make you feel like you are running, cycling or kayaking with a turbo attached to your back.
1.    Eat natural foods which contain less calories. Nowadays packaged foods are so calorific that we can eat 500-1000 calories in just a few minutes. It could take a lot longer to eat the equivalent amount of calories just eating vegetable such as carrots.
2.    Eat a big Breakfast. Research shows those who eat more calories before midday eat less calories as a total for the entire day than those who eat less before midday. You will also experience less cravings throughout the rest of the day.
3.    25% of calories. Aim to eat 25% of your daily calorie intake within an hour of waking up to give you the best chance of maintaining your energy levels throughout the day and shedding a few extra pounds of useless fat.
4.    Eat every 2-3 hours throughout the day to prevent sugar highs and lows which result in your body depositing fat. Research shows that people who eat more frequently eat less.
5.    Resist temptations, the more you resist treats in a short amount of time the more likely you are to break the bad habits quickly.
6.    Don’t supersize it. Just because you get offered the ‘make it double size for the same price’ doesn’t mean you have to have it.
7.    Energy Supplements. Try not to use them for every training session, otherwise your body will start to rely on the massive amount of sugar in them. As a result your bodies fat burning mechanism will switch off.
8.    Fat Burner. Once a week try doing a ride or run for 1-2 hours before breakfast to get your body burning fat fast. If you haven’t eaten anything since the evening meal on the day before your body will have no choice but to get into fat burning quickly.
If you feel light you will go faster. For a free healthy eat on a diet plan as used by the girl below check out Isabel de la Rios here http://eatonadiet.com
