One look at the most popular eating programs on the planet
paints a picture of a zero-tolerance attitude that is made its way into food as
well: zero carbs, no sugar and fat-free are just some of the various takes on the
cut-it-out-completely trend. Should you want an achievable way to stave off the
kilos, the simple answer is the tried-and-tested balanced diet especially
cooked on a Weber BBQ, maybe while you party with your friends.
It is a return to the basics we all know: eating good fats,
lean protein, fruits and vegetables and low GI carbs while curtaining sugar and
processed foods as much as possible. First things first. It is important to
remain cognizant of the ideal calorie count to strive for each day.
Aim for 1200 kcal a day if you are a woman and 1800 kcal a
day when you are a man. This is the minimum you should strive for, but you will
need to fuel your body with more if usually, you lead an active lifestyle, or
if just trying to bulk up. Losing weight is ultimately about being in a calorie
deficit, but this does not mean starving yourself.
Besides all the mental and physiological disruptions that
occur when you eat too little, the metabolic consequences could be
catastrophic. Your body will usually respond to not having its basic nutrient
needs met by actually storing fat at first and slowing down the rate at which
it burns calories.
This resultant slower metabolic rate could be permanent.
Cutting out empty carbs is one of the big changes you can make to help you lose
weight, keep it off and feel better overall. But wait, we thought cutting out
entire food groups was something decried earlier, we hear you say. The truth
is, the main empty carb culprit is singularly sugar, and it is concealed in in
everything from fizzy drinks and juices to alcohol, junk food, take-outs and
cakes in particular.
Cutting out the corrosive agent that is sugar is hardly
tantamount eliminating a food group, and you do not have to deprive yourself of
a taste of something saccharine completely. Enjoy the odd drink or take-out but
be mindful of the content, and use low-calorie, aspartame-free sweeteners as
much as possible.
Both your waistline and your skin will thank you. As for
good fats and proteins, Omega-3 rich fish such as tuna, sardines, and salmon as
well as avocados will do both tricks. Chicken, turkey and lean beef are great
examples of proteins that should make it to your meal list. Swap out starchy
portions of pasta and white bread for whole grain or wheat-free alternatives as
much as possible.
Throw in some vegetables and you have the good-to-go basics.
If you do not enjoy leafy greens such as spinach or kale or cruciferous
vegetables such as broccoli, go for stir-fry preparations that make them
wonderfully palatable. These green foods are your main friends in the quest to
implement a cost-effective, balanced weight loss plan.
Green leafy vegetables are the way to go, however, if you
are not a fan, try new recipes like a stir-fry, this will give your vegetable
life. This eating plan will have a big positive impact on your life. In terms
of physical and financial wellbeing.
