" Eating more calories than you burn off is the prime cause of weight gain"
And that's a fact. Now I could go ahead and ramble of a load off recipes for a healthy diet but that would be too easy and a little boring. So I'll give you a list of ingredients I personally use and know about, and different tips I've come to learn and love. You can incorporate in to you meals as you seem fit.
Eating a balanced diet and regular exercise is the key to better living, period. Try some of these ingredients and see how you go.
Foods Your Body Would Love To Meet.
1. Rule no1. Rule number one really, for everything from exercising to eating healthy is, Drink plenty of water. Very Very important, water is unbelievable in what it does to our bodies, for hydration to helping you lose weight.
2. Lemon. Add lemon to you water/tea or shakes. Lemon draws out more saliva in your mouth, which helps break down foods into fats, protein, sugars etc, stimulating the body and helping burn fat.
3. Vegetables. Especially vegetables that have a high water content. They drown out calories and are full of vitamins. Wet veg can be, courgettes, peppers, cucumbers, cauliflowers, great for helping burn fat.
4. Blueberries. Great for breakfast with cereal. High in antioxidants and known to fight diabetes.
5. Nuts and Seeds. Almonds, Brazil Nuts, Pine Nuts, Pumpkin/Sunflower Seeds etc. High in vitamins and essential fats and very tasty.
6. Protein Rich Meats and Fish. I eat a lot of Fish, and also Chicken, Turkey Breast( very low in fat), Pork and the odd Steak for Iron. Mix it up daily. Chose meats low in fat and fish high in Omega-3 oils. Eggs are a great source of protein also.
7. Carrot Juice. If your going to drink any juice I recommend Carrot juice. High in antioxidants, great source for potassium, high in vitamins. Carrots are a great snack too eaten raw.
8. Low Sodium Miso. I love a bowl of Miso soup. With the seaweed, and low in sodium, it can help lower blood pressure, and very tasty too.
9. Carbohydrate rich foods. Rice, Bread, Porridge Oats, Beans, Potatoes, Breakfast Cereal, Pasta are all important for Fuel, for exercising and basically daily living. These foods would also be high in Fibre, B Vitamins and minerals.
10. Fruit. Fruit provides us with Fibre, Minerals, Vitamins and will help boost your immune system (hence strengthen your defenses from colds and flues). A big deal with me, is buy locally. Not only are you supporting your local community, the produce will also be better. Produce imported loses its nutritional value when in transport.
11. Calcium Rich Foods. Yogurt, Milk, Cheese, Dark Green Veg, Almonds and Tinned Fish are all great sources of calcium, needed to strengthen bones and your pearly white teeth.
12. Fat Burning Stars. Yes these are ingredients that are metabolism boosters such as Ginger, Mustard, Cinnamon, Cayenne Pepper.
13. Junk Food. Yes you heard me, if, by now you have or are planning a balanced diet, biscuits, chocolate, bars, cakes, sweets, pop, have very little nutritional value and are full of artery clogging saturated fats, but a piece now and again or a daily piece won't do any harm, once you don't over do it. Eat Healthy, Live Healthy
So out of the list above, you can see how easy it is to incorporate some of these items into your life and diet, with out having to resort to diet fads. It's plain and simple, look at your diet now and simply change it. Eating vegetables, fruit, nuts, lean meats and some sort of exercise and you will be on the right track to a better you.
