3 Tips For a Healthy Diet and Faster Weight Loss
If losing weight is your goal, your diet is the first thing you need to address. Exercise is certainly important also, but when it comes down to losing weight, diet is crucial. I hope this article will provide some useful tips and information on how you can make some healthy changes in your everyday diet.
1. Be sure to include healthy fats in your meals whenever possible. This is an important factor in maintaining your bodys required hormone levels both for fat burning and also for muscle building. Having adequate healthy fats in your diet also ensures that your appetite is kept under control.
Where to get these healthy fats? Seeds, avocados, raw nuts, yolks of organic eggs, extra virgin olive oil (which has the highest level of antioxidants), coconut oil (this contains medium chain triglycerides, a great source of healthy saturated fats), and grass-fed meat (this has conjugated linoleic acid, which helps in muscle building and fat burning).
You could try this tip " have a handful of raw nuts (walnuts, pecans or almonds are all very good choices) about a half-hour before meals, 3 times a day. They are great for helping to suppress your appetite, and also to give your body protein, some fiber and of course, healthy fat. You dont need to eat a lot of nuts " they are high in nutrients.
2. Try to include at least one high-protein item with each of your meals. I prefer a grass-fed dairy product, a grass-fed meat product or something high-protein like beans or nuts. It helps to keep the appetite under control, and reduces the calorie intake.
Getting proteins like these means that, if you are working out regularly, the body puts on more lean muscle rather than fat. And your metabolism will be able to run faster, thus better able to burn off fat.
3. When you eat a lot of protein with your meals, you also help your body to control both insulin and blood sugar levels. This is because the protein helps to slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates which are ingested. And although I am not in favour of those "low-carb" diets, I feel that the reason so many people find it such a struggle to lose weight, is that their intake of processed carbohydrates, and refined sugar, is so high.
It's true that you have sugar in fruits also, but that is OK because they have fiber also, and fiber will slow down the response of the blood sugar. Avoid fruit juice though - it does not have this fiber, as the processing of the juice strips it out.
After people start reducing their grain intake (by reducing their consumption of bread, pasta, cereals, bagels etc) it usually follows that they start losing fat. So if you want to see results, switch from grain to fruit and vegetables as much as possible. Losing weight could become a whole lot easier for you.
If you take action on these 3 steps towards a healthier diet, I am sure that you will soon see the evidence of a leaner body and increased energy levels. - 17269
