Diet Is A Dirty Word

Why is it that when you say you're going on a diet your mind plays tricks on you. 

As soon as the word 'diet' is mentioned, all your favourite foods come to mind. I bet these foods are Cakes, chocolate, cheese, and so forth. 

We immediately think of all the foods that we cannot have normally unhealthy ones. 

It should not be thought of as being restrictive, It should be thought of as a lifestyle, something that we should take forward to be seen in a positive light. 

How many times if you heard someone say they are going on a diet and they can't have ______ Fill in the blank. 

Dieting is about eating the right foods the right portion sizes, the right amount of protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals et cetera. 

The sad thing is, that we all know deep down what is good for us and what is not. However, convenience foods, processed foods, fast food just makes it easier to grab something on the run. 

This is where the benefits of having a liquid meal replacement can help improve your diet intake. You don't have to think about the number of calories, or the fat content, Or whether it is good or bad for you. Research is now showing that having a liquid meal replacement to kickstart your diet is a good and positive thing. 

The problem with most diets is food preparation, and people not having time to prepare their meals. A liquid meal replacement takes minutes to blend, and you can add fresh fruits or vegetables, thus ensuring you're getting some of your five a day. 


As part of any diet we should also be looking at exercising.
As well as looking to decrease our calorie intake, we should also be looking to increase our metabolic rate. Depending on the weather we should be looking to get out at least once a day and doing some form of exercise, walking is a great way to lose weight. 

The great thing is if we can put exercise into our normal day-to-day routines and make this form a part of our habits then we will naturally lose weight and keep it off. 

To your dieting success!
