Cleaning up your diet will increase the effects of fat loss and give you more vitality. Learn how to eat smart with fiber, carbs and protein in your diet.

Most people who want to lose weight claim that eating healthier is the largest barrier standing in the way of their goal. This is due to pure laziness. The lack of knowledge concerning nutrition prevents the majority of people from starting or sticking with a diet. Companies have made, and continue to make millions off of this fact. Take your average fitness magazine; every month there is at least one new diet for readers to try out. So, what should you eat, how much, and how many times per day? That depends on you!

This is called the Abstinence-Violation Effect and needs to be avoided at all cost. You need to approach dieting with a flexible mindset, allowing yourself to have food, here and there, that doesn't go along with the program. Otherwise, you will drive yourself nuts and end up worse off than when you started.

In addition to exercising more, cleaning up your diet will increase the effects of fat loss and give you more vitality
