7 Pillars of Wisdom Diet Fitness

Diet Is Eating Well Not Temporary Starvation

Pillar ONE

Burn more calories than you take in. 

This means working out and/or sporting activity.  Notice it didn’t say take in fewer calories than you use.  Burning more calories than you eat and drink is not the same as cutting calories on a deprivation diet.  This will not work.  If you have any doubts about this, click here and go to Diet Voodoo now. 

If you are a foolish and unhealthy eater, it will pay you to drop your calories slightly but increase your calorie burn significantly by exercise.  The fitness elements of faster-safer-fitness.com will give you the know-how.

Pillar TWO

Eat 6 meals each day. 

Plan them ahead so that you hit your calorie target.  For example for a target of 1800 calories you might want to split the consumption this way:

1. Breakfast  

400

2. Mid morning snack

200

3. Lunch

400

4. Mid-afternoon snack

200

5. Evening meal

400

6. Supper snack

200

Total

1800

 

Pillar THREE

Make absolutely sure that you eat plenty of protein and carbohydrates and smaller amounts of fats. 

  1. The best proteins are lean meats, eggs, fish, nuts, etc. 
  2. The best carbs are non-refined and natural such as grains and greens. 
  3. The best fats are in fish and nuts.  For other fats olive oil and coconut oil (non-transfat type) are best.

In other words, avoid transfats altogether.  Avoid sugars as much as possible and cut down on alcohol.

Pillar FOUR

Plan For Failure.

Yes, you did read that right.  It sounds bizarre but this is absolutely critical to success for the simple reason that for failure is the best way to avoid it.  What I mean is that you need several strategies already worked-out so that when you feel a lapse coming on you know how to deal with it in advance. 

Now, I’m not saying that you should plan to fail.  What I am saying is that you do need to make absolutely certain that you plan instead for failure when the emergency arises.  The point is that you might not be able to work out a response at a time when you might be at your most open to a heinous temptation! 

In other words, it’s far better to have an effective response ahead of the emergency!  That way you stand a far better chance of beating it.

Pillar FIVE

Give yourself space for an occasional, even weekly, blowout where you treat yourself to extra calories.  Don’t go absolutely crazy because you know you will regret it.  Plan for nice social occasions this way. 

This might be one of those occasions where your Plan For Failure might be needed.

For example, when you have one of those occasions looming, there is sometimes a temptation to starve yourself beforehand to give yourself spare calories for the treat.  Absolutely avoid this.  Why?  Because the treat is still a treat and you will still indulge.  In other words, the saving-calories technique will guarantee that you will eat far too much of the wrong things. 

Remember, the purpose of allowing a treat is so that you mainly keep you to a workable and effective system of eating.  It’s not an orgy to undo all your progress.

Pillar SIX

Drink adequate supplies of water.  Drink water with all your meals and between meals.  This is one of your tactics for resisting temptation.  Other measures to avoid a ridiculous lurch backwards are:

  1. Remind yourself of your fitness and health aims.
  2. Change your activity for a few minutes from what you were just doing when temptation struck.
  3. Make sure you eat moderately but regularly.
  4. Eat a banana or a piece of Delicious Muscle Flap-Jack
  5. Follow the 7 Pillars.
