Food…we love it, we can’t live without it but when we are trying to lose weight, we see it as the enemy.
Many people seek comfort in eating their favorite sweets and salty treats when they are stressed, unhappy or worried. I call this emotional eating and it could lead to weight gain or even worse, an eating disorder.
Why not be good to your body and eat the foods that will nourish your cells that protect against disease and give you energy to exercise?
If your main goal is to lose weight, find out which foods increase metabolism. Eating to increase thermogenesis along with daily exercise will help you reach your weight loss goal.
Many people who are trying to lose weight will eat more protein and less carbohydrates but a truly balanced and healthy diet will include all three in the right proportion.
The key is to know which are the good fats, good carbs and good proteins. Then, include them all in the right proportions in the foods you eat every day. There are many low carb diet plans that are healthy and balanced. A balanced diet that emphasizes weight control would consist of 20% fat, 15% protein and 65% carbohydrates, and include high fiber foods.
If your goal is to protect your body against disease as you age, you may want to consider adding a whole food nutritional supplement to your healthy diet. Sometimes our food just can’t provide all that we need in the area of anti-oxidants that protect against cancer and other illnesses.
This is where you can find diet reviews of weight loss programs you may -or may not – have already tried.
I wish you all the best in your efforts to eat healthier!
