Does this sound like an excuse that you use to not workout or eat healthy? Use these tips from Isabel from The Diet Solution to help no longer use this excuse!

      I must get this call and this statement from busy moms, executives, students, all the time “I just don’t have time to eat right and exercise!” No one seems to be able to find the time to lose weight. With all of the responsibilities and events packed into our busy days how are we to keep ourselves healthy and maintain an optimal weight?

      When people think weight loss, they think diet and exercise, both of which already sound time consuming. Well after 10 years of seeing clients I will tell you with 100% certainty that if a client follows their nutrition plan without exercise they always lose weight but if they don’t follow their nutrition plan but are consistent with their workouts, there is no weight loss. Anyone who has ever attempted to lose weight without changing to healthier eating alternatives knows this is true. Trust me, I’ll be the first one to tell you all the reasons why exercise is so important but following a healthy eating regimen must be priority number 1!

      So if nothing else, the following easy adjustments in your nutrition plan will help to take off, at the very least, an initial 5-10 lbsto get you well on your way to your health and weight loss goals:

      1. Only drink water as your beverage (with the occasional unsweetened tea or black coffee). Eliminating all sugar drinks, “diet” drinks and sodas will automatically cause a dramatic weight loss. Studies have shown, when all else is kept constant, people lose up to10lbsjust by giving up diet coke. But it has no calories you say? Equal (Aspartame) and all other artificial sweeteners like Splenda and Sweet and Low are toxins to your body and cause weight gain, even more so than sugar!

      Squeeze fresh lemon in your water or make flavored herbal teas and cool them to make ice tea to make water drinking much easier. Always consume ½ of your body weight in ounces of water per day to experience adequate hydration and weight loss (ex. If you weigh150lbs, you must drink 75 ounces of water each day).

      2. Eliminate the 4 white devils : White Flour, Refined Salt, White Sugar, and Dairy. If you just stay away from these 4 things, you will automatically see a drastic drop in weight and will instantly feel more energetic throughout the day. Most people are well aware of the harmful effects of flour, refined salt and sugar but dairy? Doesn’t it do a body good? Definitely not! Dairy is one of the number 1 reasons people have such a hard time losing weight. It causes inflammation in the body, digestive problems, clogged arteries, and weight gain. Get your calcium from leafy greens and avoid dairy at all costs. When moms bring in their children to see me with weight and health problems one of the first things I do is take them off dairy. The results are miraculous! Chronically sick kids are now automatically better. And those who have had such a hard time losing weight experience automatic weight loss without dairy.

      3. Know exactly where to find the healthy food! It is honestly just as easy to run in to Kings and get a bag of carrots and some almonds than it is to run into Quick Chek and buy some harmful processed food. You can go absolutely anywhere now and find healthy meal options but you must know what you are looking for. Stay away from most packaged foods as the label indicates more of a science experiment than anything that would be close to food. No one needs all of those toxins in their body. Labels should have 2 – 3 items, at most. And the best foods don’t have labels.

      Don’t let time be your excuse. If you stop to eat 2-3 times per day and snack in between it is just as easy to find something healthy as it is to find something harmful. Don’t let your body come to a shrieking halt before you decide to do anything about your weight and your health. You know what will be a huge impediment on your time? If you or a family member becomes ill due to poor nutrition and lifestyle habits. So tackle the problem now before it really does begin to affect your time and your life! You can replace cars, homes and all material items, but you only get one body! Take good care of it.

      “我只是沒時(shí)間去減肥而已”，在你沒有保證鍛煉及飲食的健康之時(shí)，這聽上去是不是更像是個(gè)借口？現(xiàn)在，只需參照其中提示，伊莎貝爾的《飲食計(jì)劃》就能幫助你擺脫掉它。

      “我只是沒時(shí)間去減肥而已”，這就是我聽到的那些操勞的母親、忙碌的白領(lǐng)還有學(xué)業(yè)繁忙的學(xué)生們的抱怨之詞，好像他們沒人能擠出點(diǎn)時(shí)間去減肥。但是我們每天忙碌的生活綁縛著責(zé)任、要件， 那我們要怎么去保持健康的身體，維持良好的體重狀態(tài)呢？

      每當(dāng)人們想到減肥，第一反應(yīng)就是飲食與鍛煉問題，但是這兩者都太耗時(shí)了。通過十年的客戶觀察經(jīng)驗(yàn)，我可以百分之一百肯定的告訴你，假如一個(gè)客戶遵照他的營(yíng)養(yǎng)計(jì)劃保證飲食健康，即使沒有鍛煉也可以減掉一定體重，但是反之則不行，只是持續(xù)鍛煉達(dá)不到這一效果。我想所有嘗試過減肥但是沒有改變飲食習(xí)慣的人都很清除這一結(jié)果。“為什么鍛煉很重要，但是健康飲食生活卻是最為重要的？”對(duì)這一問題，我會(huì)是第一個(gè)告訴你所有原因的人！

      以下的這些飲食調(diào)節(jié)都能有助于你減掉體重，在你向健康行進(jìn)的路上，至少能幫助你減掉5到10鎊。

     1.飲料？只喝水�。�可偶爾喝不加糖的茶或黑咖啡）不喝所有的糖類飲料！喝健康的飲料和蘇打水可以幫你減掉體重，且成效明顯。研究顯示，就算只是不喝可樂也可以減去高達(dá)10磅的體重。但是你可能會(huì)說，“它并不含卡路里啊”。我要告訴你的是:一定量的阿斯巴甜和其他所有的人造甜味劑（如代糖 ）對(duì)于人的身體來說都是有害物質(zhì)，并且會(huì)使得人體體重增加，與糖相比甚至更嚴(yán)重些！

     在引用水中適當(dāng)?shù)奶砑右恍�壓榨的檸檬汁或是加入藥草茶葉并冷藏制成冰茶都能使得它更好喝一些。并且，通常來說引用水量為身體體重的50%(比如你的體重是150磅，那你每天得喝75磅的水)，這樣才能滿足水合作用和減肥所需的用水量。

     2.不吃四“白”食品（顏色為白色）：面粉，精鹽，白糖，奶制品。如果不食用這四種食品，那你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你的體重直線下降，并且能明顯感到一整天都是精力充沛。

     許多人都知道面粉，精鹽，糖的有害影響，但是卻唯獨(dú)不知道奶制品也與它們一樣。“它對(duì)身體不是有好處嗎？”當(dāng)然不是！人們減肥為什么會(huì)那么難？奶制品就是罪魁禍?zhǔn)字�一！它�?huì)引起發(fā)炎、消化不良、動(dòng)脈阻塞、以及肥胖等問題，所以還是多吃綠色蔬菜來補(bǔ)鈣吧！每當(dāng)有母親因?yàn)楹⒆芋w重、健康問題來找我時(shí)，我通常所做的第一件事就是告訴他們別再給孩子喝牛奶了。結(jié)果？顯而易見！慢慢地，這些孩子身體變好。而那些曾經(jīng)有過痛苦減重經(jīng)歷的人，在拒絕奶制品后體重自動(dòng)下降！

     3.得知道哪有健康食品！老實(shí)說，到菜市場(chǎng)買點(diǎn)健康的胡蘿卜和杏仁比去超市買那些對(duì)身體有害的加工食品簡(jiǎn)單多了。而現(xiàn)在你也可以去到任意的地方，健康食品的選擇性也更廣了，但關(guān)鍵是你得知道你想要的是什么？首先是要遠(yuǎn)離包裝食品，因?yàn)樯厦娴臉?biāo)簽意味著此食品已經(jīng)過不止一個(gè)試驗(yàn)了，而沒人會(huì)需要這些有害物質(zhì)的。一般來說，標(biāo)簽上會(huì)最多包括2-3個(gè)項(xiàng)目，而好的食品是不需要標(biāo)簽。

     另外，別讓時(shí)間成為你的借口。如果你每天正常飲食是兩到三次，期間還要吃點(diǎn)零嘴的話，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)吃點(diǎn)健康食品和吃點(diǎn)有害食品都是很容易辦到的事。不要讓自己到時(shí)候大聲驚呼然后再?zèng)Q定開始減點(diǎn)體重、保持健康。你知道什么會(huì)成為時(shí)間的巨大阻礙嗎？倘若你或是你的家人身體感覺異樣，那都是因?yàn)闋I(yíng)養(yǎng)缺乏、生活習(xí)慣問題所造成的。所以現(xiàn)在就該解決問題,而不是等著讓它開始干擾你的時(shí)間和生活！你可以購(gòu)新車，買新房以及其他的所有物品，但是你自己的身體卻是沒辦法替換的，所以好好的照料自己的身體吧！

     從伊莎貝爾的《健康飲食計(jì)劃》中，我們可以學(xué)到以上幾點(diǎn)在進(jìn)行節(jié)食之前所必須知道的方法。作為一位營(yíng)養(yǎng)、鍛煉及生活指導(dǎo)師，伊莎貝爾已經(jīng)幫助許多人成功的減肥并且完全控制其健康狀況。她寫的《飲食計(jì)劃》一書提供了營(yíng)養(yǎng)飲食方案，能幫助人們解決體重問題，達(dá)到理想的重量。
