The Truth Comes Out ;)
Welcome, college friends!
As this is my first blog, ever, I knew I wanted to discuss something that has become a lifestyle of mine in the past year, nutrition and fitness. This is my second year of college. I did my first year at Western Illinois University where I studied Agriculture Business. Before that, I went to Navy boot camp and Aircrew training for a total of 9 months in 2011. It was't until February 2013 that I discovered the secret to losing weight and building muscle. Now, I am studying my passion here at NSU, majoring in Food Science and Nutrition/Exercise Science.
Many of you here are college freshman, living on your own for the first time and making your daily food decisions by yourself. Many times this leads to the dreaded "Freshman 15". Yes, our lives get busy in school, but I'm here to tell you from experience, that you can take control of your actions and not make yourself victim to the weight gain. I have no choice but to be blunt and lay out the hard truth about getting and staying healthy and fit.
1. There are no short cuts!
2. There is no magic pill.
3. There is no magic fad diet. (Dieting is temporary anyways, but nutrition is a lifestyle.)
There are 5 basic keys to successful weight loss.
1. It is going to take hard work and discipline. A positive attitude.
2. Proper hydration. Water, water, water..lot of water! I drink about 1 gallon every day.
3. Adequate sleep. Getting 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night can do wonders!
4. Nutrition! A healthy diet is 80% of weight loss. Not matter how hard you work out, you can not beat a bad diet.
5. Consistency. Never give up!
While no one is perfect, the closer you follow these basic steps, the sooner you will have success.
If anyone would like further information on nutrition basics or workouts, please let me know! I would love to be a part of your fitness journey :)
