| Step 1. Eat Well
Food is not your enemy: it is your fuel and energy. You cannot live without it.
Too much energy makes you over weight: If you consume more energy than you use, your body converts the excess into fat and dumps it in various fat-dumps around the body: eg hips, thighs, tummy etc. Result? You become overweight. On the other hand, if you consume less energy than you use, your body removes some fat from its fat-dumps and converts it back into energy. Result? You lose weight.
You do not have to STOP EATING in order to lose weight: All you need to do is reduce the amount of high-energy food you eat.
Not all foods are equal: All food contains energy (calories). However not all foods are equally fattening or equally healthy.
For example:
- Some foods contain more than twice the calories of others
- Some foods make digestion more difficult
- Some foods contain little, if any, nutrition
- Some foods actually reduce the amount of nutrition in our bodies
- Some foods are associated with serious diseases like heart disease and cancer
In other words - it's not just how much food you eat, it's the type of food you eat, that counts!
Put simply - you should follow a wholesome diet.
