First things first: Diet

You can’t outrun a bad diet. No matter how many sit-ups and squats you do, if you consume more than your fair share of junk food… oh boy are YOU up against it.

Cut Out Sugar

Sugar is pure evilness; it causes numerous health problems including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity among other issues – we could write an entire thesis on why sugar does not belong anywhere near our bodies. So cut down on the fizzy drinks, candy bars, cakes and donuts – you’ll thank us later (with bragging rights)!

Food Portion Control

In addition to cutting back on sugar take note of the portion size of each meal; eating too much food regardless if its “healthy” will still cause weight gain.

Here are few pointers:

  • Use smaller plates.
  • Try measuring portions by weight rather than volume (Cup/Plate/Bowl)
  • Don’t mindlessly snack from big bags packets without taking into account servings sizes
  • Savor every mouthful (no wolfing it down like starving Lion)

So know thyself when consuming meals — one size DOESN’T fit all folks!!

Fiber-rich foods tend make us feel fuller longer (satiety) after eating plus they also help regulate bowel movements. Eating more fiber couldn’t be less complicated – just consume more vegetables, whole grains (out with the refined carbs) and fruits.

Here are some high-fiber foods you should start incorporating into your diet:

High Fiber Foods
Raspberries 8g of fiber per cup
Lentils 15.5g of fiber per cup
Artichokes 10.3 grams of fibre per boiled artichoke
