You’ve probably been told before that “carbs make you fat”. I to some extent, they COULD be right here. But to answer this question, I want YOU to answer these questions:
1) What do you smother on your bread?
2) What do you put on your pizza base?
3) Once you open a tube of Pringles, how easy is it for you to stop?
4) What do you put on your teacake?
Can you see where I’m going with this?
It’s not necessarily the CARBs themselves that are making you fat…but how you they impact your overall eating habits >>>leading you to potentially eat MORE!
You’d be lying if you said you’ve never had ‘another round of toast’ at the breakfast table…with extra marmalade, of course.
So, let’s say that tomorrow you then cut back on your carbs. You’re motivated to do this (at the start) and this gets you going (which is great..almost like a kickstart). You’ve essentially got rid of a whole load of convenience foods full of fat and sugar.
By doing this, you have to eat more of something, right? And this is usually in the form of PROTEIN (meats, fish, dairy, eggs, beans) and vegetable (full of fibre and fills your plate so you feel satisfied), both of which help keep you FULL UP!
If you eat more protein and veggies and you feel more full up >>> you’ll probably have an easier time sticking to your diet!
But here’s the tricky part:
Do you have a strategy for when you eat out a restaurant? What is ‘low carb’? Are potatoes OK for you? Fruit? Pasta? Bread?
Do you start to feel anxious around these so-called ‘bad’ foods? Does this cause the vicious ‘F it’ diet cycle where you just say “I’ll start again on Monday”?
^^^ If the answer is YES…are you setting yourself up for long-term failure?
And what I’m leading up to is this:
I myself – and many members on my Fat Loss Mastery Body Transformation Programme – eat a lowER carb diet (note how I didn’t just say LOW).
This helps keep you full up, compensate across the week and STILL enjoy your favourite foods, be it fish and chips on a Friday night or your vino and curry on a Saturday!
But do you see the difference here?
It’s a part of your STRATEGY rather than a ‘F it’ moment. Which is a complete SHIFT in your mindset. Stops you obsessing about your food.
And that’s why I get you thinking differently about the way you ‘diet’ in my Fat Loss Mastery Body Transformation Programme.
EXAMPLE: Rather than saying: I’m going to AVOID carbs <<< which makes you think about carbs…
Try this: I’m going to manage my overall intake so I can include the foods I love in the evening or at the weekend with my loved ones <<< which shifts your mindset to ‘strategy- based’ rather than ‘avoidance’ based…because by default…you’ll probably make better-informed decisions 80% of the time, feel more full, not obsess and food and stick to your diet for good…
Which means results – and your body back – for good!
