Break The Unwritten Rules For Successful Weight Loss

If you take a look at society today you might have noticed that there is a division of class, from the upper class, to the middle class, to the lower class. If you dig a bit deeper you find that the upper class makes up the top one-percent of society.

We all want to be in that one-percent but we do not know how to get there.

Here is a secret, the one-percent do things that everyone else does not.

That also applies to weight loss.

There are so many unwritten rules in the world today that many of them have been hampering your weight loss goals since day one.

Eat this, do not eat that, do not eat before bed, and even the terms 'breakfast', 'lunch'. 'dinner', 'snack', and even the word 'diet' have all been cast into stone by your parents and your friends and each one of those have you beating down the wrong path.

Let us take a look at the word 'breakfast.' Many of you are probably thinking of a bowl of oatmeal or cereal, maybe eggs and pancakes, or maybe bacon and French toast, and that is completely wrong. Why not have a burger patty with some asparagus and a scoop of almonds for breakfast?

From the day your parents put food in front of you they never would have thought to put a burger with a side of asparagus and nuts in front of you for your first meal of the day.

Another term that is often alienated is 'snack.'

When you hear that term you might be thinking of a hot fudge sundae, or apple pie, probably served later in the evening after you have eaten three square meals.

That is another incorrect assumption that society has spun on you.

A 'snack' really could be eaten at any time of day, and it does not have to be something sweet and fattening.

Instead of being a slice of apple pie, why not have a whole apple, or maybe a berry medley topped with honey with some walnuts, and sunflower seeds mixed in?

The whole point of this is to get you to take that book of unwritten rules and throw it away. Take the blinders off and start looking at food differently because most people have the wrong idea.

Who says you cannot eat an omelet for dinner?

Who says you cannot fish for breakfast?

You know the answer to those questions, and the answer is nobody. Do not let society's spin on food control your weight loss.

Remember, those who get ahead do things that everyone else does not.
