Lecture Notes

Obviously healthy eating is also important for losing fat—weight or fat, for that matter. And here you want to think about both changing the types of food that you intake, or that you eat, and that's not just the type, but also the amount. So watch your serving sizes, choose those nutrient-dense foods that we talked about that give you the biggest nutritional bang for your buck that we heard about in chapter 7.

But you also want to think about your eating style modification. And by style we mean how quickly you eat, or the speed you eat. You want to eat slower and maybe try smaller meals or more frequent meals so that you avoid getting hungry. Certainly want to avoid eating under emotional situations where we tend to eat a lot more than we would in normal situations.

And finally, learn to enjoy the process of eating. So, focus on the process of making your food, enjoying the textures, the flavors. All of these things can help with eating for fat loss.
