What to Eat, When to Eat and Eating Healthy

You are fat and out of shape and look like a football and people often call you a couch potato. Is this what you want to be? Or you want to look fit and healthy always full of life and vigor. The choice is yours. The only way out is to add a regular exercise regime in your everyday routine for gradual weight loss. Just exercising without any guidance and proper diet control is not going to take you anywhere close to your goal.

The aim of leading a healthy life should start with a proper plan of exercising and diet control. As a beginner for achieving a healthy body does not restrict you from getting the maximum out of your workout regime. The plan must include a chart of 'What to eat When to eat' and a chart of 'When to exercise' to enable you to get the maximum out of the workout plan you want to follow for weight loss.

You must understand that choosing a proper time to eat is equally important as eating a meal. Eating before an exercise will always make you feel worse with problems like sleepiness, indigestion, sluggishness and even cramps and an overall bad health. Similarly if you have no food at all you will be too weak for exercise and may faint or feet tired all the time. It is important to follow some guidelines for eating if you have the intention of weight loss. Following are some basic guidelines but these may be modified depending upon your body response and personal experience.

The first principle of healthy eating is that a large meal should be always eaten at least three to four hours before the exercise and where you are in for a light meal you must have a two to three hours gap between the meal and exercise.

The second principle of healthy eating is simply avoiding eating fat in any form as much as possible.

The third principle of well thought eating is to drink a lot of water while you exercise as this will not allow you to dehydrate and keep your body cool.
