Things I Have Done Wrong

When I was young and lost my weight, I did lots of things the wrong way & learned from experience not to do them again. Here are just a few:

  1. Eat too FEW calories - the body goes in to starvation mode & holds on to every last ounce weight and fat on you.
  2. Not eat enough healthy fat - If you do not eat enough healthy fat, your body can't sustain a healthy body. Healthy fats are integral to maintaining those all too important muscles, it helps with healthy hair & skin among many other things.
  3. Not read labels - You really have to become a food label reader to know what you are eating... labels can be very misleading!
  4. Exercise TOO much - every body needs rest. Working out intensely 7 days week will only lead to overtraining, overuse & beat the body down. Your body needs some down time & rest!

These are just a few of the things I did wrong way back when! More to come another time.
