Okay, so in this video, let's talk about mistakes that people make. One of the biggest mistakes that people make with following this diet is not eating enough, which is quite an unusual thing to be saying when we're talking about diet and especially about weight loss or fat loss is not easy enough because you think that Well, obviously you have to restrict what you're eating, you have to cut down what you're eating. We're not so with this diet because it is because it's low fat, but because it works with your body's natural fat storing and fat burning mechanisms. And I'll talk about this more in another video on how this diet is in line with your fat jeans. Yes, we do have fat jeans, I'll talk about that in another video. It means that you need to eat more and if you think about it, we're having high fiber foods.
We're having high water content foods to fruits, vegetables, high water content, high nutrients so That's going to do a number of things, it's going to mean that you're not craving, you're not craving to eat too much because you're getting high nutrients your body is satiated, it's getting the nutrients it needs. So you're not going to be craving things that you might used to create before just to get those kind of minerals in because we're not eating dead foods are not eating dead calorie foods. So everything is optimum nutrition. So that's going to make you want to eat less, number one. Number two, the high fiber low fat means that the volume of food is bigger so you know 300 grams of brown rice, the volume of that is bigger than 300 grams of chocolate say, okay, so not the UD you wouldn't sit down eat 300 grams of either of those, I don't think but let's say 50 grams, you know, it's going to take you longer to eat the rice and the chocolate the chocolate will be gone and if you're anything like me, less than a minute, whereas the rice takes longer to eat acts as a plunger in your Colon in your digestive systems, cleaning things out, it's filling you up.
It's um, it's low GI, like him again in glycemic index. So it's going to take longer to digest and it's just going to slow everything down in terms of making you feel having this spike in blood sugar and then this trough. It just evens things out, it's going to even eat your blood sugar. So you're going to feel energized throughout the day, and you're going to need you're going to feel like you want to eat less. The danger is that because these foods that you're eating are so low in calories for the most part, especially the vegetable aspects of it, that you're not want to eat enough so I have so many people email me and say the smoothies I can't eat. I can't have the smoothie in one sitting, it's too much for me.
I can't eat all of the hearty cook 5,000,001 sitting it's way too much. Well, here's the thing, you simply split it up. So say you're having 100 grams of veggies cumin brown rice and you can eat it all for me personally I can eat that much I like eating, you know relatively large volumes of food but on occasion, I don't feel like eating at all. So literally you have as much as you want. You set the rest of the side and you go back an hour later Half an hour later. Now if you're working a job throughout the day, you've only got like one chance to eat at lunchtime.
Then take take your smoothies to work with you so your green smoothies your banana smoothies, your yeah your your juices and grace that day, anyone no matter what job you're doing, whether you're a builder, whether you're a nursery nanny, whether you've got an office job, you can take container of drink of smoothie with you and sip on it throughout the morning throughout the afternoon. So and in terms of your hearty cook fiber meal, you know, if you come home from work in the evening and you can't eat all of it. Have some as soon as you get home, leave at an hour or two and then have it you obviously don't want to be eating just before bed. But you might eat at say six o'clock, and then half, seven, something like that. So split it up. That's the trick.
The only thing to bear in mind was splitting up your meals is you don't want to be having fruit on top of your cooked meal because it will cause the fruit will ferment and it will cause bad digestion. So yeah, you want to be mindful of food combining or talk about food combining in another video. But that's the only thing to consider. For the rest of it. The simple answer to to not be able to eat all the food is just to split your meals up and be mindful to get enough calories because the number one mistake people make is not eating enough on this diet. And then they fall off the wagon because whilst they feel full, because the calories aren't enough for you, energy wise, then you will end up you will end up just eventually grabbing something really high.
Calorie usually high fat, usually some kind of junk food or falling off the wagon and saying that diet didn't work, I couldn't do it. It wasn't sustainable. And going back to square one and instead of having like really supreme healthy diet here, you go right back down to standard American Standard Western diet of high meats, high dairy, high processed foods, microwave foods, all that kind of stuff, which is just going to promote ill health. So the key is to eat more, and just be mindful that he can't eat it all in one sitting just a split out.
