The basic nutrients are carbohydrates, fat and proteins. For fat grams, look and use the three-gram fat formula. This is really easy to follow. Read your food labels and look for snacks like bars, shakes, meals that have three grams of fat or less for every 100 calories. This will help you choose meals that get less than 30 percent of their calories from fat without having to use complex chart and calculations.
The problem these days is simply that people are constantly marketed with a huge variety of packaged foods and flavors. There are added sugars and salts in processed foods. One type of food can give a person many unique kinds of tastes, which makes us want to eat more. Most of the time our bodies are asking for nutrients we are missing therefore we eat more and more to fill in those missing factors in our diets. Work on reducing the intake of refined foods such as sugar and white flour. Instead eat more of whole foods rich in low glycemic complex carbohydrates which releases energy slowly throughout your day and helps maintain a steady blood sugar level.
Did you know that eating protein helps protect muscle mass. For example, in only 30 days or even less of resistance training, aerobics or whatever your choice of cardio or physical movement, and I guarantee that you'll see a noticeable change in your body shape. Protein intake is essential for energy and stamina and is critical to a vigorous and healthy life. A diet that is relatively high in protein and low in carbohydrates reduces the need for insulin production. That means you can access fat cells much easier while having less craving for food and sweets at much longer rate. This makes life more enjoyable or you are less irritable if you are carb sensitive. In any case, take it one step at a time, one day at a time ease into it and you'll be amazed at your results in every step of the way!
Some of the most helpful strategies that I have recommended involving foods:
*Find other things to live for besides food. Focus on family, friends and whatever else gives you pleasure.
*Make time for exercise. I walk first thing in the morning that way it's done and the rest of the day is mine.
*There's no such thing as bad intake. Bad foods, good foods. Really, It just means you're aiming to get different results.
But please understand that when I use the word diet that it is not in the traditional sense where you have to deprive yourself of foods you love. What I have done instead and what I'm saying is to pull out and utilize what plan works for you. Everyone, and I MEAN everyone, is unique-especially with food and their habits.
