The
bad news for people who are trying to lose weight is: Diets don't work! The
good news? You can learn to eat creatively, enjoy what you eat, eat as much as
you want... and lose all that excess weight that is making you unhappy and
unhealthy! Here I would like to share some great
tips with you so you never have to worry about being overweight again!
It's incredible how much
hype and misinformation is out there about what is the best diet to go on for
losing weight. While the Internet has been great in getting a lot of important
information to us, there is also a lot of confusion resulting from information
overload.
Most
weight loss programs today focus on calorie counting which has proven to be ineffective
as the average dieter often ends up worse off when they started. Such weight
loss programs can also slow down the metabolic rate, making the weight loss
more difficult to maintain.
Formulating an effective
and healthy diet plan is not difficult, once you understand the basics of
healthy eating and what would help you not only lose weight fast, but also
maintain the weight and stay healthy as well.
So, just what is healthy to
eat? First, allow me
to stress that there is an almost inexhaustible list of good, health-promoting
food out there, so if you have whole, natural, nutrient-rich foods you love, go
ahead!
I picked
these foods based on a few criteria:
1.They are nutrient-dense.
2.They are whole foods.
3.They are affordable and easily available.
4.They taste healthylicious!
The last
point is so important as I always tell my clients: “The best diet is one you enjoy so much, you don't even know you are on it!”
So, go ahead
– eat, enjoy and stay healthy!
1. Avocado - contains lots of Omega 9 and
2. Bananas -
3. Broccoli - rich in vitamin C, A, K, B-complex, iron, zinc, phosporus and phyto-nutrients
4. Cabbage - high in vitamin K, sulphur, potassium, helps to detoxify, lowers blood pressure and blood sugar levels
5. Nuts and seeds – almonds, flax seeds, pumpkin
seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts
6. Olives and olive oil, extra virgin - rich in Omega 3, Omega 9
7. Quinoa - loaded with riboflavin, magnesium, potassium, iron.
8. Salmon - high in amino acids and omega 3 which will help to get you into fat burning zone
9. Spinach - loaded vitamins C, A, K, helps stabilize blood sugar levels, great for heart health
10. Sweet potato - contain carotenoids that help stabilize blood sugar levels, improve metabolism
11.

Watermelon - high in glutathione which is an essential antioxidant
And don't
forget to get some herbs and spice to life – black pepper, cayenne pepper,
chili, cinnamon, ginger, mustard seeds, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage,
thyme, turmeric and more!
One final
note – no more processed foods like refined sugar, white rice and breads. These
are literally poison for your body, so substitute with healthy alternatives
like blackstrap molasses, coconut sugar and honey instead of refined sugar, and
brown rice and quinoa in place of white rice.
Who says
eating healthy is boring? You just need to be creative and you can cook up a
storm for yourself and your family.
