Putting these 10 nutritional habits over the course of 3-weeks will enable you to lose 10 pounds fast. Before I give you these habits, grab hold of my nutritional philosophy that will serve you for a lifetime. Make a note. Write it in your favorite diet book or keep it in any place to remind you.
Follow a diet that is :
* Low in fat
* Low in sugar
* High in Fiber, and
* Abundant in Water
You’ll receive your carbs, protein, fat and essential vitamins and minerals from this recommendation; your cholesterol will thrive at healthy levels; and you’ll lose and/or maintain a healthy weight.
This diet is balanced among various food groups. Why? Because no one food group provides all the nutrients you need. For example, fruits and vegetables are packed with vital nutrients and are excellent carbohydrates. Yet, they’re inadequate as a protein source.
Having now my primary principle, let me give you 10 nutritional habits that will enable you to lose 10 pounds fast. Here we go:
1. Gobble up the greens - Green vegetables are loaded with nutrients, a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, low in calories, and have high water content
2. Feast on fruits- Fruits possesses the same qualities as vegetables yet with a higher natural sugar content. Apples,and blueberries are great choices
2. Choose Lean Protein – Lean protein sources are low in fat and high in protein. Chicken, Turkey, and Eggs should be desired
3. Consume the Legumes – Beans and Lentils are excellent sources of protein and fiber. Fiber keeps your digestive tract free of waste. This enables your body to absorb nutrients and your metabolism to rev uninhibited
4. Boost up the salads- Add an additional salad to one of your meals. In addition to the abundant nutrients, the water and fiber in mixed green, spinach, or romaine salads provides roughage. This keeps the digestive tract free of waste. Avoid the high calorie dressings. Go with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
5. Eat the Good Fat- Fat has taken a bad wrap. The saturated (bad) fat should. Your body needs good fat sources to absorb the nutrients you eat. Avocados, Fish, Almonds, Walnuts, and Olive Oil are all excellent sources of good fat
6. Throw out the processed – Waive goodbye to Starbucks pastries and all the other refined processed foods. This includes the white stuff-potatoes, rice, and bread. These foods are low in nutrients, high in calories and sugar. Isn’t that three strikes? Enough. These high sugar/fat foods flood your bloodstream with insulin. The fat storing floodgates soon open
7. Rotate your grains- What’s the skinny on low carb diets? You lose weight but you feel crappy and lethargic. Oatmeal, brown rice, and flax seed are the carbs you should keep. They’re high in fiber and absorb slowly into the bloodstream. This keeps your insulin levels stable. Avoid these foods in the evening; take a day on and day off approach. This will enable you to avoid the mental fatigue people experience on low carb diets
8. Eat the last meal earlier- Studies show that late-night eating packs on the pounds. Cut your last meal by 7 p.m. Drink water to suppress your urges to eat. Remember, it’s only for 3-weeks
9. Pour down the water- Every metabolic process in your body requires adequate water. Dehydration slows down your metabolism. Drink 1-pint before every meal. You’ll control your portions as you’ll get full faster
10. Control your portions – Buffet eating destroys diets; floods your body with insulin; and leads to bad eating habits. Drinking 1-pint of water before meals has been proven to reduce appetite and keep portions minimum
