Trying to lose weight successfully depends heavily on the type of food you are eating. And when it comes to asking a person to change their diet, the first thought that comes to mind will be boring steam chicken breast, salad and all that organic stuff. Frankly speaking, your food does not have to be so boring and bland. It can actually be delicious and yet, you can lose weight at the same time. The best of both worlds.
What kind of food will come to mind when I ask you to change your food intake to a new food regime?
Most people will think of the following food, which people often termed as boring:
– dry plain chicken breasts
– steam broccoli
– tuna
– whole meal bread
– oatmeal
These foods above are what people commonly associate with what bodybuilders will eat in order to lose weight. And it is also the same reason why so many people will eventually lose their fight in their weight loss attempts. But fret not, there are some things which you can do today which will make your life easier, and healthier with the food you eat. It should allow you to stay lean and keep it that way permanently.
The type of food I am talking about is known as unprocessed foods. Our taste buds have been used to so many types of processed foods and additives such that we have lost the ability to enjoy unprocessed foods.
Problems with processed food:
– There are too much corn syrups and sugar in such food
– A number of food have too much trans fats and refined vegetable oils
– There are too much flavor enhancers like MSG and commercial salt
– And certain “so call” diet drinks contains too much artificial sweeteners
All of the above have left us with a senseless taste buds. So it is time for us to adjust to the natural flavors that these foods possessed.
I have a number of suggestions that can help you in your transition from processed food to unprocessed food.
1 – If you can, try avoiding fried foods.
2 – Use less salt. Instead, try to use more herbs and spices while you are cooking your meals.
3 – If you have a habit of consuming cakes, candies and sweets, maybe you can try eating fruits or dark chocolate instead.
4 – Stop drinking soft drinks, and lay off those diet soda drinks as well. Start drinking water or unsweetened tea with your meals.
5 – Food like fish, chicken breasts, pork tenderloin and grass-fed steaks have great taste and it is real meat. Stop eating the stuff like sausages and hot dogs.
