So, I'm sure you have heard that fat loss depends mostly on diet and nutrition.

Well.............  It's true!

Most people eat well all week and then screw it up so badly on the weekends that it basically cancels out all the hard work and "dieting" you did all week.

So that you can see it a bit more clearly, check this out.  

Say you ate so good all week that by Friday you are in a deficit of 3,500 calories of fat, which equals 1 pound of FAT.  So while you may be losing a pound of fat by Friday (wooohooo), here comes the weekend and you splurge (over the top) and easy 3,500 calories over the weekend........ and guess what happens then?

Yup, you got it, NOTHING! No fat loss, no fat gain (if you are lucky).  And then people get frustrated because they feel STUCK.

I really feel that this is the MAIN reason why people don't get results.  They screw it up on the weekends too badly.

Well, my dear friend, I am here to tell you how you can prevent this from happening.

Here is the #1 thing you should do for FAT LOSS:

Cook at the end of the week.

I know, you where waiting for some scientific and crazy answer, but NOPE, this is really it..............COOK AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

Here is where most people fail.  After cooking all week, you are tired of cooking and you just want to eat out.  And you have been "dieting" all week so you are ready to splurge.  Big mistake! 

A lot of times by thursday's I have plenty of left overs that I don't really need to cook but I do anyways so that I have plenty of food and snacks for the weekend.  If you have food prepared and ready in the fridge you are less likely to eat poorly and more likely to not skip meals (which causes cravings for "bad" food).

I can't tell you what a huge difference this will make in your diet and in your results.  I always have my clients plan and prepare meals at the end of the week to have ready for the weekend.  And this helps them eat a heck of a lot cleaner during the weekends.

Here are a few scenarios on how this could help:

• You've been running around all day at the mall and birthday parties and there are no good food options anywhere you are at. 

If you have food prepared at home, you can take a small meal or snack with you in your purse which will hold you over until you get somewhere you can make a moderate and healthy choice.

• You are running out of the house and you are starving, no time to cook, no time to stop anywhere........... yikes

No worries, just grab some leftovers from the fridge, it can be protein muffins or protein cookies, or turkey meatballs, or meatloaf, or salad, whatever!  I've even grabbed some food and eaten it in the car while Danny drives us to wherever we are late for LOL.

• You get home late at night and you are starving, no time or energy to cook.  Its either eat the kids pizza, stop at a drive thru, or starve.

If you have leftovers, all you have to do is heat it up and enjoy!

Seriously ladies, this can make a HUGE difference in  your results.  So get to cooking at the end of the week.
