I came across a study headline the other day which confirmed what we’ve known for about 20 years.
It said that people (in this study it was people who were overweight or obese) who eat cereal for breakfast are hungry again sooner and eat a bigger lunch than those who eat eggs for breakfast.
Of course it’s interesting to have this confirmed by proper research, but this has been demonstrated in real life many, many times over – and I think we are asking the wrong questions.
I’m willing to bet that you already know you should eat more veg and increase your protein intake. I bet you already know that eating too much sugar and drinking too much booze isn’t great for your health either.
I’m not sure it’s more information that most of us need.
The area I feel we need to understand better is how to put the information into action and how to stay the course, because while most of us know what we should be doing in order to improve our health and fitness and lose weight, we very often don’t follow through with putting it into action.
This said, I think most of us also have a fairly good idea as to why we haven’t put what we know into action, and this is where I think it is a good idea to focus our attention.
Are you too tired to get a workout into your day…. Why is that? What do you need to do to get better sleep?
Are you too busy satisfying cravings to reduce your sugar intake… Why are you craving sugar so badly? What needs to happen to reduce your cravings?
Even if you don’t know all the answers, I’m pretty sure that you know enough to make a pretty good start.
I’d love to help you figure this all out, and help you find a long term solution. Get in touch and we can arrange to have a cup of tea and a chat.
