Going to war for your wellbeing means coming up against two primary enemies: food cravings and hunger pangs. Simply put, these deadly opponents increase your susceptibility to unhealthy snacking, which, as you can imagine, leads to weight gain. However, trying to fight these foes head on is like going into battle blindfolded, and when you try to do so, you deprive yourself of what you crave which leads to a bigger binge further down the line, and you’ll increase the likelihood that you’ll give in and give up all together. Therefore, you have to arm yourself with 3 weapons to lose abdominal fat, total body fat, and drop those stubborn pounds.
The first weapon is The Sunriser, otherwise known as breakfast, which you must take into battle every morning without fail. However, not any old breakfast is going to win the war – you need a hearty breakfast consisting of lots of protein, from eggs or Greek yoghurt, a moderate amount of fibre, from oats or an apple, and vitamins and minerals that you can get from a small amount of fruit. An army marches on its stomach after all.
The next weapon you need in your arsenal is The Raw Dog. In other words, snack on raw vegetables, such as such as celery, cucumbers, and carrots throughout the day. These little veggie grenades have a high water content, are low in calories, have a good amount of fibre, and are convenient to consume. You’ll even find those hunger pangs satisfied all day long.
Finally, Liquid RPG, or water, is the final and most important weapon to obliterate hunger pangs and cravings. If you drink at least ½ your body weight of fresh water consistently throughout the day, you’ll find your cravings curbed and your hunger pangs nowhere to be seen.
