About This Issue
I wanted to share something with you that was posted up in my local leisure centre. It conveys what I have written about in previous Natural News but it is good to see it all written down in such a practical way.
When the average women attempts to transform their body shape i.e. lose weight (fat), they make most, if not all, of these mistakes below:
She…
- Skips breakfast (in an attempt to eat less)
- Eats too many carbohydrates (usually bad ones)
- Consumes far too little protein
- Thinks ‘healthy’ dietary fat means no dietary fat
- Doesn’t supplement her diet and training
- Under-eats in the first half of the day
- Over-eats in the second half of the day
- Doesn’t lift weights adequately (if at all)
- Eats too infrequently (meals are way too far apart)
- Has her biggest meal at night, often a ‘binge’ or ‘out of control’ meal (therefore, she wakes up not hungry, skips breakfast and starts that cycle over).
Kind regards
Dr Marilyn Glenville PhD
