1. Eat some carbs.

When trying to eat healthy it's often thought that cutting carbs is a fast way to lose weight. While in part this is true, this isn't particularly good for your health. See carbs are used as the bodies' energy source and without them we can't function efficiently. Simply cutting them out cause's lethargy, loss of cognitive function and not to mention bad breath. So, Eat some. However, not all carbs are created equal. Avoid simple carbs like sugar, syrup and white flour produce as these will zip through and give you very little than a quick kick. Instead eat complex carbs such as oatbran, oatmeal, apples and brown rice. This will digest slower in your system and provide you with a sustained amount of energy for longer periods.

2. Eat more than you think you should to shed the fat.

You've heard it a million times before, "Eat little and often". Again that is kind of true; however I recommend 5 meals a day. Now when I say meals, I don't mean sit down and munch your way through 5 large meals. Anyone looking lose weight should have 3 reasonable sized well-proportioned meals and 2 healthy snacks a day. Why? By spacing your meals out and planning them well maintain a healthy balance in insulin which prevents massive highs and lows. This allows your body to be more efficient which in turn means the effort in the gym has bigger impact.

3. Have a cheat meal each week.

You've worked hard and can see the results, but when you go out you see everyone else eating the food they love while you much away on a carrot stick. Include a cheat meal and you are much more likely to have long term success in your fitness goals. Psychologically by eating one cheat meal per week it will keep you focussed and also act as a reward for all the hard effort you have put in.

4. Don't wait until Monday

The good thing about eating well is that you can start any day of the week there is very little to stop you. Don't hide behind events or days or anything else to have a healthy meal, you can start to change your life today.

5. Make small changes and see big results

Everybody wants the magic pill that they can take and overnight have that beach body they always wanted. If it was that easy you wouldn't appreciate what it took to get there and would be buying pills forever. The fact is you won't eat super healthy overnight. However, set small goals to make small changes in what you eat and before long you'll wake up thinking that someone gave you a magic pill. Start next week by swapping cornflakes for porridge. Give it a go what's the worse that can happen?

Set yourself up to succeed when it comes to what you eat. Don't follow those fad diets and change how you plan your meals to avoid failure. You can succeed if you put your mind and your mouth to it.
