This was a very impressive weight loss. First, because it is challenging for me to lose weight, like almost everyone over age 40. It’s true for me, even as a weight loss professional.
But my loss was doubly impressive because I made just one small, painless change in my eating habits. What a significant change it turned out to be.
I was on my regular eating and exercise program, but during this time, I dropped my over-consumption of nuts and seeds. I went from 6-7-8 handfuls a day to less than one—I started strictly watching my limit. And the pounds plummeted.
Raw nuts and seeds are healthy, nutritious food choices, as long as they are raw, not roasted like the ones in the blue and yellow can, which are also heavily salted. But raw or roasted (never eat the roasted), nuts are high in fat. Which is why, as a lover of food and particularly fattening foods, I was way over-eating these otherwise healthy foods. Nuts, as you’ve probably heard, must indeed be eaten sparingly by anyone interested in getting lean. I looked, I learned, I took action, I got results.
It really pays to be vigilant when you’re going for a lean, fit body. I had to take a truthful look at every aspect of my diet and exercise to find I was way overeating nuts and seeds.
Then I had to take action to correct the flaw. When I did, the payoffs and rewards were spectacular.
