This is always tough to admit, but nutrition is more important than your workouts when it comes to fat loss.
And since diet is more important than exercise, I’ve decided to spend a lot time sharing nutrition tips this week, starting with these 5 diet secrets:
1) Your nutrition program doesn’t have to be extreme.
Hold up on making any extreme diet changes. Make sure the nutrition plan you’ve chosen is sustainable. Simple diet changes go a lot farther than you might think.
Why not just eat more whole, natural foods rather than trying to go on an impossible-to-stick-to ultra-low carb extreme plan?
2) Get the junk out of the house.
If it’s in your house, you’ll eat it…and trust me, this goes for me too. When I visit a relative’s house for holiday, I always eat the treats they have sitting around. That’s why I keep the junk out of my house.
So whatever your weakness is, keep it out of your home.
Success is that simple.

3) Fill in the “diet-killing” gap.
For some folks, the diet-killing gap is between work and dinner. For others, it’s between dinner and bedtime, but for almost everyone, there is a point in the day when we suffer from mindless eating.
So make sure you have alternatives…as soon as you come home from work, cut up vegetables and dip them into hummus. That will keep you full on a small amount of calories.
After dinner, if you need something sweet, stir up chocolate protein powder into a small bit of plain yogurt. That will satisfy you.
4) Chew your food 5-10 times before swallowing.
Most people eat so fast they only chew about 1-2 times. You’ll really notice a difference and you’ll slow your eating so you feel full.
5) Have a bowl of broth-based vegetable soup before a meal.
American researcher Barbara Roll has published a lot of studies showing that this will help you reduce the food you eat. Surprisingly, consuming just water doesn’t seem to do the same trick.
So those are just 5 of the diet secrets we have for you this year.
Stay tuned for proven secrets to help you lose fat this year.
