Healthy Weight Loss Foods – Here Are 3 Tips That Will Help You Lose Weight!
Every obese person on this planet will want to lose weight and want that slim and sexy figure! Of course, a good sensible exercise program along with a good diet plan will accomplish this. However, it is still the food we choose to eat that will make us gain or lose weight throughout our lives. Yes, the food is still the number one factor! Here are 3 healthy food tips for weight loss.
1. A good diet plan will include a source of healthy fats. Our body needs them to function properly not only to burn fat but also to keep our muscle building hormones at the right levels. If we completely deny our body all fats, I mean only healthy fats here folks! Pretty soon our food cravings will shoot through the roof and we will find ourselves losing control over our appetite.
Here are some examples of food sources that contain healthy fats, grass-fed meats like beef, which has a rich source of healthy fats called conjugated linoleic acid (burn body fat and build muscle), extra virgin olive oil ( this contains the highest antioxidants), egg yolks that come from free-range hens (it increases good cholesterol in our body) and nuts such as Almonds, Walnuts and Cashews are also great. They have the ability to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.
2. Always refrain from eating refined carbohydrates and refined white sugars. The good stuff that has been “processed” from these refined carbohydrates are all the highly beneficial nutrients that Mother Nature originally put into them. The fiber, bran, and most minerals and vitamins have been removed, leaving a white, tasteless, durable, and stable product. Stay away from them.
Moving on to refined sugars, the problem with them is that all of their vitamins and minerals have been stripped out. Refined sugars are a pure, concentrated form of sugar that offers nothing more than its calories. This is in stark contrast to unrefined sugar which includes impurities, or sugars that occur naturally and are embedded in organic products like fruits and vegetables, which provide lots of fiber and nutrition.
Fibers provide a natural barrier for our digestive system and slow down the intake of sugar in our body. These are the natural healthy foods for weight loss, so enjoy your fruits and vegetables wholeheartedly.
If you switch all your carbohydrate needs to natural fruits and vegetables, you will lose all those unnecessary pounds in no time!
3. Just changing your diet to include high-quality protein will help gradually reduce your appetite. Yes, protein helps you control that craving for fatty foods! So making sure you have enough protein at each meal will help your body control important blood glucose levels by slowing down the intake of digested carbohydrates.
You’ll find high-quality protein sources from grass-fed meats, grass-fed dairy, and plant nuts. All of these are good for controlling appetite. Try it friends. From everything I’ve seen, I realize that many people have such a hard time losing weight because they don’t know how to give up sugar and processed carbs. However, once you know the way, it becomes very simple.
I am sure that if you take action on the above mentioned healthy foods to lose weight, you will definitely see changes in your life and also in your confidence! Well, I hope this article has helped you.
Here’s to a slimmer, healthier you.
