The porky fat bastard road to a healthier and slimmer porky fat bastard plan.
1). and this may be the most important thing you can do. Upon waking up in the morning....EAT! within 30 -45 minutes at the most. This speeds up metabolism. It tells your body that you will be receiving nutrients on a regular basis and there is no need to go into slow metabolism / storage mode.
I like to eat oatmeal first thing in the morning. Oatmeal naturally lowers blood pressure and regulates blood sugar. I know it sounds horribly bland but there are many different flavors now. I use chocolate chip instant oatmeal AND add in a bit of dark chocolate, either baking bits or just a small piece of a chocolate bar. Dark chocolate also is very good for your blood pressure. I compliment the oatmeal with a piece of fruit, usually banana or orange. This is healthy way to start the day and when you are not so healthy later on, at least you have incorporated some healthier eating.
2.) From this point on, 4 more small meals every 3 hours. What you eat is less important that that you eat every 3 hours again, re-affirming to your body, that nutrition is coming on a regular basis. Now when I say what you eat is less important, obviously if you eat a Capriotti 2 foot cheesesteak for each of those 4 additional meals, you aren't going to lose weight or be healthier. Just eat reasonable. One of my meals every single day is a half a (large) container of ice cream, usually with graham crackers, which I use as spoon. Not exactly healthy.
3.) eat 3 servings of fruit a day. I eat an apple, orange and banana, sometimes grapes. Just incorporate that with something else as one of your "feedings".
4.) exercise and walk. You don't have to spend 90 minutes a day in the gym. Just do 10 minutes of toe touches and twisting twice a day while watching TV. Try to walk more during your regular activities, whatever that may be. If for some reason, you can't do that, then schedule and take a 30 minute walk.
That's it. No fasting, No juicing. No, no carbs plan. Everything you eat doesn't have to be healthy. I eat cookies and ice cream daily. Just eat a little smaller meals every 3 hours.
One last thing. Soda is poison. It really is. And diet soda is no better. It is all chemicals that are very bad for humans. If you are a big soda drinker as I was, replace it with water, iced tea, almost anything else.
