How healthy was your day?

If you really want to improve your health and fitness, it's important to know that your success depends on how you live every day.

Weight loss success may depend on how well you eat healthily and exercise over a 24-hour period. The decisions you make regarding these two issues will determine how quickly you can lose excess weight from your body and get into better shape. That's why it's important to keep asking yourself how healthy your day was.

Realize that nutrition is a top priority. When you consider how many times each day you have the opportunity to put something into your body, you can easily see why weight loss is successful by paying attention to the amount put on your fork or in your cup.

Aside from the three main meals that most people eat every day, there are usually two or three snack cases that pop up here and there. At each of these moments there is a possibility of consuming too many calories, which contributes to greater weight gain.

In any case, strive to eat an appropriate amount so that your calorie intake at the end of the day is at an acceptable level. If you focus on this, you are much more likely to get rid of the excess weight. It's really important that you realize that even overeating in just one of these cases will make losing weight more difficult.

Focus, focus, focus, on portion size. This should be your priority when sitting down to a meal or considering a snack. Meals should contain between 400 and 600 calories, including drinks, and snacks should contain between 100 and 200 calories, including drinks.

As surprising as it sounds, you can still gain weight if you eat healthy. Plain and simple calories are calories. Calories are found in every type of food and most drinks, apart from water and other calorie-free drinks. For this reason, you should pay particular attention to the type and amount of food you put into your body.

Take fast food meals, for example. Fast food combinations like cheeseburgers, fries, and soda contain a ton more calories, which is why eating out rarely leads to healthy eating. Their portion sizes alone are way overboard, so save your body the heartache and your wallet the money and prepare your meals/snacks at home instead.

That way, when you ask yourself, “How healthy was your day?” You can proudly say it was perfect!
