Adding Volume to Lose Weight and Eat More
It’s that time of year again people! That’s right cutting season! With summer right around the corner it’s time to quit the bulk and convert to a portion control diet! Aka getting ready for summer.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could simply lose weight by eating more delicious food? I would personally love to eat as much as possible. Food is one of the greatest joys of our world, and a huge part of staying consistent is loving the food that we eat.
However there comes a time when we must buckle down to achieve our goals or better our health. A time when we must cut some weight by making a few better meal decisions.
So let’s start by starring at a cookie for 5 minutes while drinking a glass of water! Yum! There must be another way to satisfy your cravings! There must be some miracle diet that can assist you on your weight loss journey! Right?
How To Stop Cravings
Look no further Fitness enthusiasts! I have just the miracle diet for you! (Hold the miracle) I do however know how to stop cravings from interfering with your healthy diet, and ensuring a consistent transition to your new nutrition plan!
True to the title of the article, I want to share a few ways to eat more to lose weight! But before you sprint to the fridge and eat a block of cheese let me explain my method.
First you must understand that when I say eating more food, I mean increased better choices foods! Foods that are high volume with low calories (low-density foods) added to your normal meals can assist you on your diet plan.
To explain further I’ve created a fictional fitness character by the name Johnny, to demonstrate the process.
Example: Lose Weight Eat More with Johnny
When Bulking, Johnny eats a dinner plate including a 6oz Steak, 1 cup of potatoes, a piece of garlic bread, and some steamed veggies. In total Johnny’s meal is roughly 800-900 Cal.
After generating some amazing gains via his bulk, it’s now time for Johnny to Cut some weight. Being a seasoned Veteran, Johnny knows exactly what he needs to do to get this cut underway to achieve that summer bod in no time.
Using the same dinner example, Johnny will increase the volume of his meal (Eating more to Lose Weight) and reduce the total calories on his plate. To achieve this he simply cut his serving of potato’s to 1/2 a cup, removes the garlic bread from the meal, increases his serving of veggies, and adds a generous dinner salad to the meal!
We can definitely learn a lot from Johnny and his ability to make better decisions in the kitchen! Adding a large dinner salad instead of the bread saved home about 300 calories and dropped his meal total to about 500-600 calories.
He also added volume which filled his stomach and in return helped stop his cravings! He could have even added a serving of grilled chicken to the salad and been significantly under his previous 800-900 calorie meal.
It’s all about making creating small victories on every plate. Every small, better choice you make will lead to your future success. Including the foods you love while adding some more volume with better option foods. That’s what this is all about. That’s how I personally build a balanced nutrition that keeps me consistent all year round.
