Hi guys, just thought I would share an insight I have recently gained on the importance of nutrition in contolling your weight. Like a lot of guys, up until recently, I wasn't paying much attention to what I was putting into my body. I always had the attitude that I should eat what I want, and exercise will keep the pounds off. If ever I felt I was getting a little heavier, I would simply hit the gym a little more, or get some extra cardio in, to shift the weight. While this worked just fine in my 20's and 30's, it became easier to stack on the pounds and harder to shift them in my 40's and (gasp!) 50's! Diet is the key folks!! By concerntrating more on what I am putting into my body, I have noticed a change - especially as I have just had knee surgery, which really put the brakes on my usual gym routine while I am recovering. I have been making sure that I start the say with a healthy breakfast - fruit and healthy protien-rich cereals with yoghurt, and backing this up with a healthy lunch - fresh salads, sushi; less carbs and sugar. I've been trying to drink more water during the day also. By doing this, I have more sustained energy during the day, and it is way easier to control my weight. I am not looking for sugary snacks to prop up my energy levels during the day. Previously, after starting the day with a bowl of sugary cereal, I would be hungry again by the time 10:30 rolled around. Not anymore. If your goal is to trim down, and you find the exercise alone isn't doing it, try making a few small changes to your diet, and concerntrate on putting more good healthy food into your body. It's working for me, and I am sure it will work for others that are in the same boat.
