I found in my weight loss journey though that when I applied these simple basics to my life I had great results and ended up losing a total of 101 lbs.
-Take a good look at your cupboards. Be sure to read the labels, not just the nutritional info but the ingredients, the ingredients is where the real story is.
-Focus on single ingredient foods. By creating a diet full of single ingredient foods you are ensuring you aren't getting all those nasties that were on the labels of the things you cleared out of your cupboard.
-Eat. The. Rainbow. Consume lots of fresh fruit and veggies. When you eliminate the processed foods you will realize how good this stuff really tastes and how bad the processed really was.
-Fat does not make you fat. Further more the fats you consume are important. No vegetable oils or margarine. Pick oils such as olive oil, coconut oil, and butter, mmmmmm butter.
-Not all carbs are created equal. By ditching those processed foods you are already on your way to eating better cleaner carbs. Choose carbs such as sweet potato, oats, rice, parsnips. Limit grains, and if you must look for breads with sprouted grains.
-It is VERY important that when you try to eat healthier that you are minding your sleep and stress. Not only does stress play a role in fat storage but you are also more prone to poorer food choices and poor portion control. The less sleep you have the more your body craves other sources of energy during the day and also your judgement is lowered.
If you start applying even a few of these simple acts now and adding more in over the following weeks I am SURE that you will find yourself feeling better, sleeping better, having better energy, and even losing weight.
Keep on Rockin'
