In under a year, Lifehacker's Dion Almaer dropped 100 lbs. In an obese body, it's hard to stay on a diet or exercise plan. Instead, Dion took a simpler route to drop 1/3 of his body weight. He didn't start with working out or cutting down his meals - he started by eating quality food.
Quality food kicked off his progress. With eating better only, he lost 20 lbs in his first 2 weeks. That critical step upped his energy levels. Dieting and working out then came easy.
It makes sense. We're spoiled - in the wrong way. Processed junk is given to us in convenient packages, with low quality energy and high concentrations.
We might be fooled by this convenience, but our bodies aren't. It doesn't take long until our bodies recognize. And then, we get hungry more often and eat more. Without nutrient balance and too many calories, we feel tired easily and lose motivation to work out. We quickly descend into a vicious cycle. We become fat.
Ok, at a first glance, fast food may be cheaper and quicker. But, you eat less often when you eat real food. And, you waste less on energy potions, self help books, and medical expenses. Plus, real food gives back the health and energy levels you deserve.
Many people can't overcome the idea of eating odd foods like tongue or cheeks. But, they eat lunch meats made from those animal bits everyday! If you're adventurous, you can get meat at 1/10 the price. And, there are tons of great exotic cut recipes.
Use a food scale to save time and money. You wash fewer dishes by measuring all your ingredients in only one bowl. Plus, you don't waste foods that get stuck to measuring cups and spoons. This waste might seem tiny, but it adds up.
Eating well isn't as simple as pressing a couple buttons on a vending machine, but spending on real food will pay you and your family back many times more. Break the cycle, start eating better now!
