So I went in for an initial consultation at my local gym because I want to get back in shape for personal reasons, promotion of healthy living and for the competitive fitness arena. The personal trainer told me that I needed to undergo an evaluation of my current fitness and began to ask me what my fitness goals where. After telling him that I wished to be a competitive figure athlete and increase my overall health, considering my husband and I will be starting our family shortly, he shared a shocking dynamic to weight loss and toning diet approach with me.
It looked like this :
Losing 30-50 lbs 60-75% Diet 15-30% Exercise 10% Commitment
No processed foods 30 min Mid-intensity 3 week+ dedication
X Sugars, white rice
Then I started looking into the Paleo Diet option, which incorporates more raw natural foods that our bodies are derived from and thrive more efficiently using coupled with exercise. The foods that are recommended also spark overall healthy choices, which removes the disease plagued regimen of the foods we consume today due to the manner in which we prepare the foods and the high intake of the processed foods so readily available to us and grossly marketed as "the convenient good food".
There is a saying out there that, "If it were easy everyone would be doing it", holds true in this circumstance. Fast food is the easy wrong choice along a road to sedentary lifestyle patterns and stagnation to personal goals followed by quitting due to no results. It takes a determined population to step out on health and wellness believing and driven to make a stand and do the opposite of the norm, by choosing to do something challenging to achieve greater results in a short time frame.
Everything you need to know is found here on the Paleo Diet plan.
Your renewed health and strength is so worth it!
