9 – Portion control, protein requirements, physical activity
(duration 17:23)
What are some of your challenges with fitness and getting down to the right weight?
Unfortunately, in most restaurants the macronutrient portions are skewed in favor of bread and cereal carbs
For other animals, a lot of their time is spent eating and digesting what’s been eaten
Get adequate protein, enough fat for energy, and round out the balance with veggies and some fruits
Eating lots of carbs creates a desire to eat more carbs, leading to increased body fat percentage
Snacking with fatty food, like nuts, is a good way to prevent overindulging
Portion control is about self-regulation; mindfulness is key, as is the eyeball method
Calculate your daily protein requirement based on your lean body mass (weight minus your body fat); though it depends on your activity level, typically a gram of protein per kilogram of body weight (up to a gram per pound of body weight when doing lots of weight training)
You don’t have to run in order to lose weight! There are many forms of healthy exercise–and mp3 players to break the monotony
To obtain and maintain a healthy body weight, mainly focus on proper nutrition

So what’s wrong with Australian food? There’s plenty of great clean fresh food available here? You must try harder :-)

Great clean fresh food sounds excellent, Peter. One does get out of it what one puts into it, as far as grocery shopping goes. Yet whenever one finds a lack of choices and variety, it’s a sure bet that the gang known as government has intervened in the supply and demand process (as well as pricing), to the detriment to consumers and the marketplace.
