Diet and you’ll lose weight, they say. Millions have been told to cut back the calories, weigh portions and restrict food choices for decades, yet most have failed to reach their goals.

It’s not a particularly controversial observation fact to say that most diets seem to succeed in the short-term, and fail in the long-term. However, the inconvenient truth ignored by packaged diet hucksters is the lack of scientific evidence suggesting that clinically significant weight loss can be maintained over the long-term.

So what to do, where to turn? What if there was a way to achieve a seamless weight loss, an increase in energy and vitality, a reduction in illness, aches and pains? Does such an approach exist? It does, it’s easy and it doesn’t rely on dieting, counting calories portions or weighing anything. In fact, it will cause you to fall in love with food again.

Basically, your ticket to a lean, healthy body is “eating clean.” The concept is simple. You eat wholesome foods – those that are free of artificial ingredients and have the most nutrients, all with the added bonus of losing weight. So you get to enjoy eating foods like lean protein, whole carbs, good fats, fresh fruits, and vegetables — six times a day in the right amounts. If you follow the easy regimen, while drinking lots of water and exercising regularly, you’ll turn your sluggish metabolism into a fat-burning machine.

Now, how do I know this? Many authors will simply support statements they have learned, heard about or read in studies.  But at Three60Fitness, we take everyday people and turn them into living examples of what we preach. Last year, we had a client drop 140 pounds of dead weight, lose 23 inches off his weight and lose a staggering 23% body fat. While this is not indicative of all people, the power of eating clean certainly speaks volumes here.

It works because you eat small meals every two or three hours, pairing lean proteins with complex carbohydrates, including whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies at each meal, This approach makes sure your metabolism stays in full fat-burning mode. Eating this way also means you have few hunger pangs and do not feel deprived. Your blood sugar also stabilizes, reducing cravings and that “emotional” cling to certain bad foods.

Here are the main principles to observe:

• Eat six small meals a day.

• Eat breakfast every day, within an hour of getting up.

• Eat lean protein and complex carbohydrates at every meal.

• Have two or three servings of healthy fats every day.

• Get fiber, vitamins, nutrients, and enzymes from fresh fruits and vegetables.

• Control your portions.

• Drink lots of water every day.

 The foods to avoid:

• Overprocessed foods, especially white flour and sugar

• Artificial sweeteners

• Sugary beverages, such as soda and juice

• Alcohol

• Foods with chemical additives like food dyes and sodium nitrite

• Foods with preservatives

• Artificial foods, such as processed cheese slices

• Saturated fats and trans fats

• Anti-foods — calorie-dense foods with no nutritional value

Dedicate yourself to this new lifestyle, and you’ll lose about 2-3 pounds a week, you’ll stay healthy and have more energy.
