Food and Weight Loss!

We are into May now and it is time to focus on proper nutrition and exercise as the way to stay fit and be healthy!

The important thing to remember about food, is that food is for fueling your body! Without the fuel that food provides you would have no energy, the body will slowly start to go into starvation mode and store everything that you eat as fat(for energy)!

When it comes to eating, the fuel(glucose) we get from food, is needed to allow the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, and your other organs to function and operate! Without this, you would eventually die.

The thing to learn is to look at food as the fuel for your body, not as a way of adding weight!

Focus on eating healthy foods, fruits.veggies and lean proteins!

Drink the 8-12 glasses of water and take a good multi-vitamin to get those extra micro-nutrients!
