Log fires v Metabolism

Answer me this question;

How do you keep a log fire burning all day?

A) Two twigs a day
B) Throw a log on every now & then
C) Intermittent logs throughout the day

What was your answer?

Hopefully it was C, now imagine your metabolism to be the log fire and the twigs/logs are food...

You see by not fuelling your body on a regular basis it leaves you open to snacking on carbs & sugary foods to raise your insulin levels back up.

It's something I like to call pre-emptive eating..

Preemptive eating will keep your insulin at a steady level, eating at regular 3/4 hour slots. Half the time you will be eating when your not hungry!

Preemptive eating can drop you weight by decreasing the need for sugar spikes and you will constantly burn energy, energy comes from stored fat.

....FEED THE FIRE AND KEEP IT BURNNG ALL DAY!

Sorry it's my fault!

Hey Ian here,

     Over recent weeks I've become very frustrated with the ' I need to lose weight' community and their inability to do f*ck all about it!

Why post on FaceBook EVERY week - The diet starts Monday
Why complain about the fact the jeans that use to fit you now don't
Why complain about the way you look in a mirror
Why do you never shower praise on someone who has worked their ass off to add years onto their lives, feel better about themselves, give themselves a confidence boost, Become fitter & leaner than ever before instead they are a b*tch for doing the one thing you stop your self from doing!

Ask yourself this why is it everyone else's fault for you being overweight & uncomfortable?

Why is you not having the dedication and a well placed rocket up your arse, Joe Bloggs problem?

Do you have kids?

Do you want to see them grow up, play in the park with them?

Do you have family/friends?

Do you want to be always know as 'the big one'?

Or do you wanna sit at home and feel sorry for yourself?

Hiding away from the world because of what they might say.

Ever hear yourself saying  - I just can't lose weight, I look at food and pile the pounds on, I was born to be fat, It'll take too long to be where I wanna be so whats the point?

All people have issues with their body, show me a person who is comfortable with themselves and how they look and I'll show you a striped pig flying across the sky.

Don't start Monday, start now!

You've had long enough off the wagon, get back on it and make a bloody change for the better. It's never to late to change who you are?

Become your own success story.

Seek advice from professionals and when they tell you to do something  - Fecking do it!!

Let your close friends & family know for moral support, but don't make them feel they have to change their eating plan to accommodate yours. Start learning to say NO

Eat in moderation & follow a 80/20 rule (3 cheats a week)

I will leave you with this maths question....

{Current weight} - {Your weight 12 months ago} = {Weight gained} + {Current weight} = Do you want to be this weight in 12 months time?
