Counting calories is for people who are all these numbers in their head all day for love. Counting calories can say what a lot of energy is in food, but says nothing about the quality of the food you eat. I recently saw the 100 calorie snack packs. Only 100 calories, but full of sugar, processed foods, and preservatives. There is nothing healthy about it!
The problem with calorie weight loss programs based not take into account theQuality of food that you eat. And once the weight is gone, return to old habits and food choices, and everything returns to start immediately, with even more fat!
Stop counting calories - Just Eat Better! If you are ready to stop the yo-yo dieting, and create a few simple changes by replacing unhealthy food with some simple alternatives, read on! If you focus on health and nutrition, weight loss benefits, how your body the nutrition it needs, you drop the extra pounds. It is notmust be rigid, you should not feel deprived or hungry or weak, is all it takes is a couple of simple substitutions.
Beware of Big White Five! White sugar, white flour, white rice, potatoes and popcorn. These are the number one instigator of additional weight. We must first understand why they are bad for the body, and then we will see what can be done, instead of searching.
White sugar is processed and refined sugar from the cane plant. The main problem with sugar is that it is in everything! RaisedSome organic pumpkin soup, and when I eat sweet for me. I looked at the label, and sure enough, she had sugar in my soup! Just because it's organic does not mean it's healthy!
Why is sugar bad? Well, this is a nice little ', the problem is that manufacturers add more, because we are all accustomed to super-sweet taste to maintain. The other problem is that when you eat sugar foods, it (the body works sugar) to glucose rotates very quickly,Causes a spike in our blood sugar. The peak in our blood sugar then signals the release of the pancreas, insulin (which carries the sugar molecule in the body tissues). Once this happens, there is more sugar in the tissues, how you can use, so what makes the body? The stores then - as fat!
Not only does this cause us a high consumption of sugar, more fat, but may also apply for all types of health problems like insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and even causeCancer has been brought to the sugar content in combination. In fact, recent advances in technology, machines, where the glucose can not see the use of the body created. Areas of the body with too much glucose were identified as tumor cells. We should not wait for cancer, stop eating so much sugar!
Not all sugars are equal, there are many good substitutes (I'm not talking about chemicals such as aspartame and sucralose). It has never been found that diet drinks help you loseWeight. There are some wonderful natural sweeteners, which are much better for the body. Here are my top all-natural options:
Agave syrup (natural sweetener with low glycemic index, all made from the agave plant) Stevia - this is a great sweetener made from a plant in South America. Why is super sweet, you only need a pinch. Some people notice a test after taste, so out and see if you like. Licorice root - a plant, a sweetener with great potential health benefits. Thecan have a little taste of licorice. Raw Honey - Raw honey is actually on the scale of medium glucose. Pasteurized honey (due to heating is higher glycemic index).
White flour is applied to the next note. And 'wheat, which grind grain, polishing the bran, wheat germ, and the fuselage. What remains is the pure starch. When we eat white flour products, bread, pasta, cookies, refined flour is transformed into glucose (sugar) in the body quickly, which marks thePancreas to increase insulin release and stimulates the body to store fat. An indicator of how quickly the body is the food into glucose is called the glycemic index, and is already on food labels.
White rice, like wheat has been processed and polished to remove fiber and bran, and what remains is only the force. This in turn results in the same way as the discharge of blood sugar, insulin levels and stimulates the body to store fat spiking. Skip the white rice is brown ricebetter, but still higher glycemic index is the wild even better choice, and here are some lesser-known large kitchen that is as much as you would cook rice! 1 part grain to two parts water.
Quinoa - a tiny grain from South America, very high protein and low glycemic scale, it takes about 15 minutes. for cooking. Buckwheat - which is a grain, not really related to wheat gluten protein so you do not have. It lasts about 20-30 minutes of cooking, add a little 'Season, as it is a little 'bland.
A simple rule: the more refined and processed foods, the higher the glycemic index. So go for whole grains, whole wheat bread, wheat pasta and other grains. Getting used to the taste, you start to buy wheat and wheat or white mixed together, or experiment with your own. My sister, who is a great do it yourself, say that grinding of the wheat kernel instead of white to red winter wheat makes theDifference in aroma and taste of their meal home.
Potatoes are full force. High glycemic index, these small pods strong peak in blood sugar, and set the sequence of insulin and fat storage. This is one reason that many people will benefit from the Atkins diet were found to cut the white flour and starch. Where is it going wrong? People are not always the fiber they need to work their colon clean and good.
Instead of white potatoes, potatoes tryand sweet potatoes both have higher fiber and don't impact your body the same way. Other good substitutes that can give you that creamy texture are squashes, (I especially love mashed butternut squash), and there's a great recipe for mashed cauliflower.
Popcorn. Who knew that something so low in calories was so high on the glycemic index? Yes, unfortunately, popcorn has one of the highest glycemic indexes. Well, there aren't any great substitutes for popcorn, it's kind of in a category of its own. I still eat popcorn, but only once in a while, and I am aware that it has the same effect on my body as cake or cookies. So, if you are eating popcorn as a low calorie snack, you might rethink its place in your life, and have it only as an occasional treat, like you would sweets. Just be aware that eating popcorn spikes your blood sugar with a Glycemic Index of 72!
When you focus on healthy choices, and nutrition, your body can let go of the extra weight and you'll slim down to your ideal weight. You don't have to feel deprived, hungry or weak, and in fact all of my clients have felt more mentally clear, stabilized mood, and energy that lasts all day when they follow the glycemic index eating plan. Basically, it's eating foods that the human body has used for fuel for thousands of years: Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meats, nuts and seeds!
It's Time to be eating better, and when you do, your taste buds even begin to prefer the healthier choices! It's only been in the last 50-100 years that our diets have been so messed up, and we are seeing so many health effects now from poor diet choices.
How to Get Started: You may be motivated to make some diet changes now, and it's a good idea to focus on adding in the foods that you love.Take a sheet of paper and write a list of what you normally eat, check it with those things in this article, write out a substitution. I also like to have my clients focus on the healthy foods they love, like your favorite fruits and vegetables.Add in some of your best healthy indulgences while you are making changes. I love mangoes, avocados, peaches, artichokes, broccoli, and asparagus just to name a few. It's also a good idea to keep an open mind, and try out a new fruit or vegetable every week. Variety is the spice of life! And play with your spices too!
We may be motivated, but sometimes our old habits get in the way. Changing habits can be the most difficult part of eating healthier. Many times it's as if part of us wants to change, and part of us doesn't. This inner struggle is responsible for self-sabotage, craving the wrong foods, eating for comfort, eating when stressed, or a whole bunch of other difficulties that can throw us off track.
