Q. i have just started a diet this week (monday) and im finding it very hard to stick to it, i keep craving unhealthy foods and keep giving in to the cravings. what can i do to stop this and get some will power? please does anyone have any tips or advise which will help me to beat cravings and stop temptation?
A. ive been on a long-term diet for 10 months now where ive had many many diet breakdowns and binges and i've learnt every time.
stick post-it notes on the foods you raid in your fridge or pantry and that should stop you, have a list of things you must do before you give into a craving stuck onto your fridge or bedroom wall or door (such as 1. repeat inspirational mantra 2. look at photo of your dream body 3. have some tea etc etc)
don't keep food your not allowed to eat in your house!! and the food you do have in your house that is healthy for you in moderation like cereal or bread (i used to binge on bread and cereal because that's the only thing i had that was tempting) make your it is hidden behind otherfood so it's not always in your visual field.
here are a few diet quotes i have:
Look at the food and think, âWhat do I want more⦠the 5 seconds of enjoyment that I will have while I chew this food, or the enjoyment of the fact that 24 hours of every day, 7 days of every week, I will have the body i'm dying for
âknock it offâ¦what in the world are you thinkingâ¦how many times are you going to sabotage yourself with some lame self pity excuses⦠you are better than that.â
every time you are temped to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future
The pain of discipline is less than the pain of
regret.
and chris or whatver your name was.. remember: your diet is a very very small portion of your life where you just need to temporarily restrict yourself to get your body back in shape, but once you lose the weight and develop a healthy exercise regime with it and maintain it, you can eat any food you want but you just have to maintain your weight and burn off that food by being active

What is healthy to eat?
Q. I have been working out a lot lately so it would only make sense that I am starving 24/7. My problem is that I cannot stop eating, even when I do get full. I am trying to lose fat and gain muscle. How can I make myself not binge, and what should I eat when I do get hungry? (please be specific if you can)
A. depends on your body type
if you're a hard gainer, you can eat more fatty foods since you're metabolism is fast
if you're a normal gainer or one of the few blessed easy gainers then you need a balance diet
50% carbs, 30% protein 20% fats
carbs - complex carbs....from whole grains, example : brown rice, whole wheat bread, pasta
protein: lean meats and legumes, meats: chicken breast, turkey breast
fats: natural fats - nuts
if you're a hard gainer, take the desired weight you want and multiply it by 20, and that's how much you need calorie wise..if you stop gaining weight, multiply by 24 and use that number
example, say you want to weigh 200 lbs, you eat 200 x 20 = 4000 cals daily
say you stop gaining weight after a while, take the 200 x 24 = 4800 cals
then take that number divide by 6, since you want 6 well balanced meals daily....and then take into effect the carbs/fats/protein amount
example 1g fat = 9 cals
so you take that and apply it to each meal
since (using the 4800 cals since it's an easier number to work with in this case)
each meal will consist off 4800/6 = 800 cals
20% = fats, so in that meal you want 20% of 800 = 160 cals which will be sourced from fats
30% protein so you want 30% of 800 = 240 cals from protein
and
50% from carbs = 50% of 800 = 400 cals from carbs
which would be close to this (don't quote me i'm probably wrong, again as i said i don't remember all the exact numbers for the cal count)
18g of fat (mono saturated preferably, avoid saturated fat, trans fat etc)
60g's of protein
100g's of carbs
per meal...
you want to eat the meals evenly....now your biggest meals should be breakfast + post workout, which you're allowed to go over by 200-400 cals each.....
breakfast, you can go more simple carbs to get some quick energy
post workout, protein for recovery
i can't remember the numbers for carbs and protein....it's been a while plus i'm a hard gainer so i basically just keep eating anything that's low in fats/sugars and i'm fine
