I don't know about you but when I hear the word diet, I cringe. Everything from the nasty tasting foods to starving all the time and having to count calories, just makes you want to quit before you even get started. You might even lost a few pounds but to find out later that you just put them right back on. Even worse, they brought friends with them. That is the same thing that I thought before I ran into the solution that changed my view on how to lose weight.
So, what do you really know about weight loss? That you have to burn more calories than you consume, right? If that question was asked to any random person that doesn't know much about weight loss, that answer is probably going to be the most common. What if I told you that you don't have to keep counting calories and you don't have to starve anymore. The fact that you can eat fat and it will actually cause the body to burn stored fat. Yeah, that is true, but you have to eat the right kind of fat for that to happen. The kind of fat that I am talking about is good fat. The kind that you find in fish (not the fried kind), nuts, coconut oil (which is my favorite), and real butter. Not the kind that you see at the store that says taste like butter and good for you because it has less fat. I think not. Some other bad fats that you need to stay away from include hydrogenated oils, canola oil and margarine.
One of the biggest no nos that you need to stay away from is sugar. Processed foods contain a butt load of sugar and that can ruin your weight loss very fast. Let me tell you something about sugar. When you eat a lot of sugar, it raises your blood sugar. When your blood sugar raises, over the 120 mark, your body releases insulin. When this happens it causes your body to go into fat storing mode. Which is the number one thing you want to stay away from. When your body releases insulin, your blood sugar drops. That is the time where you feel hungry, start to get cravings for more of the foods that are bad for you, and makes you fatigue.
So, if I can't eat sugar and don't have to cut calories, what am I doing you ask. The answer to that is to eat the foods that put your body into fat burning mode. You need to eat the foods that burn fat instead of storing it. Yes, they do exist. And to name a few are fruits and veggies (greens can do wonderful things for the body), sprouted grains, rice, sweet potatoes and the list goes on.
Lets take a trip to the grocery store. How many foods can you find that say they are healthy for you? There are a lot of them. But are they really healthy? Unless they say organic on them, I have to look for myself. Lets just say you can't believe everything you see. Look at the nutritional facts on one of the healthy foods you like. How much sugar is in it? To be more specific, look at cereal, then remember what I said above about sugar. How many cereals do you know that claim they can help you loose weight? Yeah, my point exactly.
There is so much more information that is much of help. If I got you thinking then you really need to look into this. This women is awesome and her book in incredible.
