Diet Food: Dan’s Big Bowl of Mush

Before we talk about “diet food’, if there is such a thing, lets talk about the “secret” to weight loss.

There is no secret!

Simply create a calorie deficit through exercise and eating less.

How do you eat less?

By making your food as “filling” as possible so you aren’t tempted to eat more.

In this video I used the following ingredients:

Ingredients

Whey Protein – 1 scoop

Muesli – 50g

Strawberries – 300g

Almonds – 18g

Cinnamon – 1 tsp

Xanthan Gum – 1 tsp

Add water, mix (or blend), put in the fridge to set, and enjoy!

The take home message, if you are trying to lose weight, is to try and make your food as “bulky” and “filling” as possible. This is whilst ensuring the food is still lower in calories, of course. There really aren’t such a thing as “diet foods”. But foods that will help when losing weight, will usually be those high in fibre. This is why I have used strawberries, muesli and almonds for this recipe.

Additionally, lean protein is often filling and lower in calories! As are cruciferous vegetables and fruit (eaten whole, not blended or juiced of course!)

Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review

https://howistayfit.com/training/abolic4/ Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review admin 28/02/2019 As you probably already know, I am generally not a big fan of nutritional supplements. The reason being, is that most of the time I don’t notice any results that warrant spending money on them. Apart from Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), I usually just stick to the few basics like whey protein, creatine, omega-3 fish oil, and multi-vitamins. However, I am quite excited by the results of a new supplement that I have been experimenting with: A-Bolic4 A-Bolic4 The product I have been using is called A-Bolic4. It is made by an American company called The Lab, and it is marketed as an “anabolic growth supplement”. They claim that it “supports anabolic growth, increased metabolism, cellular integrity, and male sexual health”. My Experience Before I talk more about the supplement, and what’s in it, let me talk about my res...

“Starvation Mode”

“Starvation Mode” It is quite likely that you have come across the term “starvation mode” before. If you are dieting and exercising, but you are not seeing progress, then a common self-diagnosis is that your body has gone into “starvation mode”. In this post I am going to reassure you that this is simply not the case! Read on! Here’s a common scenario You were trying to lose weight, so you decreased your calorie intake and stayed disciplined to your workout routine. You were happy to see your bodyweight readings going down, and your physical appearance was beginning to look slimmer and leaner. Then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, all progress appeared to stop! You didn’t cheat on your diet. You didn’t skip any workouts. So, you do what most of us do when we have a problem. You search online. You talk to your friends. And you soon come to the conclusion that you are not losing weight because ...

Clients’ Progress – it’s more than how you look!

https://howistayfit.com/life/client-progress-health/ Clients’ Progress – it’s more than how you look! How about we consider Health for a moment when we think about Fitness… Fitness is MORE than just your looks and appearance. Instagrammers, take note: fitness is not just about how you look! I see the people I work with make awesome transformations, but these are NOT solely physical changes to their appearance. I see them make positive changes to their health and their wellbeing. They change mentally and psychologically, as well as often physically. Yes, clients’ physiques change. They lose body fat, they tone up, they gain muscle, and they gain strength. But so often many more changes than this take place, that you just CANNOT capture on camera. My point here, is NOT to put too much emphasis on the way you look when it comes to gauging your fitness progress. And of course, usually the worst thing you can d...
