A Simple Way to Cut Calories While Not Cutting your Food Intake

9/10 of my clients who are looking to lose weight and body fat all immediately try to skip meals all together. THIS IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE! By skipping meals or by not supplying your body with enough fuel, you slow down your metabolism. Additionally, when this happens, your body goes into survival mode and uses whatever carbohydrate & protein storage you have left while conserving fat.

Therefore, I advise my clients to cut down on their grain product consumption (rice, potatoes, pastas etc.,) as a carbohydrate source and instead consume more fruits and vegetables (both considered a carbohydrate). You will automatically cut your calories simply by volume. You cannot easily eat as many calories with fruits or vegetables. Rather than not eating, this solution has you fueling your body with foods that are nutrient and anti-oxidant filled.

If you are trying to lose weight, do not skip meals or completely remove carbohydrates from your diet - replace grain products with fruits and vegetables!
