Change Your Paradigm to Change Your Body Composition (Lose Weight) Quickly and Permanently  By Michael Collins

Who hasn't seen a TV program or read an article by a nutritional expert that didn't include the phrase "try to get more fruit and vegetables in your diet".

 

How come most nutritionists give this advice to people trying to lose weight, or simply eat healthier?

If we decode this message, what they really mean is "you're eating a crappy diet, so why not do yourself a favor and add some fruits and vegetables, so your diet doesn't totally suck?"
 

It's essential to get fruit and and as much fibrous vegetables as you can, into your diet for a plethora of reasons; such as antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.  However, "Trying to get more fruit and vegetables in your diet" is a poor mind frame to work from and an impotent strategy to lose weight and healthier.

Lets take a step back from this recommendation for a minute and analyze the frame/ paradigm. Is it really going to matter health or weight loss wise if you continue eating the same bad stuff, but adding in some fruits and vegetables?

 

"I'll have a Big Mac, small fries because I'm watching my weight, a large coke... and I'll have a peach with that".

 

Not really.

Listen, fruit and vegetables aren't a supplement. They're not something you sprinkle in to pretend your eating healthy. Fruit and vegetables are the backbone of the diet. One of the staples of the diet along with protein and healthy- fat foods.

Think about this- would you have a weight problem (or most health problems) if you ate the proper way? Nope.

The point here is not to totally eliminate junk food. I'm not about eliminating all of your choices. I'm about making the proper choice most of the time, and have the junk food (if you feel you really need it) once in a while.

How would your body composition change if the paradigm was the other way around?  Body composition, meaning your percentage of body fat to lean muscle. How would you look? How would you feel?

 

Lets say the dietary recommendation was "Have lean protein, healthy fats and plenty of fruit and vegetables and "have your slice of pizza once in a while". Silly suggestion, but you get the point. You'd be in great shape and that slice of pizza, or bowl of ice cream wouldn't make a dent.

Quick, ridiculously obvious quiz:

 

Q. Who's going to have the leaner, healthier body?

A. 90% junk food 10% fruit and vegetables diet

or

B. 90% healthy food and 10% junk food

The 90% healthy eater. And you know what, that 10% wont even make a difference. That person could enjoy the weekend and not have to feel guilty.

1) He's earned it
2) He hasn't lost a step
 

The 90% healthy eater goes right back to his/ her winning ways without a problem.

 

Here's the problem. Many dieters fail because they feel restricted. They feel like they can never have that piece of cheesecake again. Putting yourself under the stress of "never having it again" rarely works. Why? Because of human nature.

 

What happens when something you love is sitting there, but you know you can't have it?

 

You want it even more!

 

Then is simply becomes a battle of will. Eventually the gives way under the enormous pressure. You have that slice of cheesecake. And another. You kick off a nice binge cycle.

 

That's one of the reasons the "cheat meal" was brought about. It gives you the carrot and the stick. Not just the stick.
