Nutrition Coach Dr. Ro Gives Us 10 Tips To “Lose The Final 15” And Clean Up Our Diets

What Helps People Keep the Weight Off?

It’s about just eating plain, simple food, not eating too much and eating often. I recommend that you have your first meal within the first hour of wakening. If you’ve been asleep for the night, let’s eat within that first hour. The reason is because it starts your metabolism working right away. Your body has been at rest for the last, hopefully, seven or eight hours, so now you want to put some fuel in there and start burning and revving it up right away. That said, I think the best thing to do is to think of this whole process, whether it’s weight loss or maintaining  the weight you have, think of it as real life. You want to eat a well-balanced diet of a variety of foods. The reason that’s so important is because there’s no one food that has all the nutrients you need in its proper quantity at one time. So in order to get a balanced diet and get the nutrients you need, not just for normal body functions but for whatever your goals are, you want to stick to a calorie budget. You should have a home for your calories just like you have a home for your money. Your money shouldn’t be floating around. You should know at all times where your money is and what it’s doing for you. You should know the same things about your calories. Don’t approach it from a willy-nilly perspective as if anything goes. It’s not whatever. Keep your eyes on the ball and be aware of the number of calories your body needs for whatever your goals are, whether it’s losing weight or maintaining.
