We consume a lot of preservatives and junk foods from meals,
snacks and even drinks. You might be deceived with 'low-fat' foods or
'healthy' drinks in the market. Most of them only contain empty calories
that your body doesn't need. All these sums up to what you are now:
overweight and unhealthy. Make fitness your lifestyle with these 3 foods
to keep your body looking great anytime!
You already know that a
fitness diet plan is vital to any weight loss regimen. You need to give
up on certain habits like lazy nights watching T.V shows eating chips
and dips. Here's the good news: There are 'guilt' free foods out there
you can munch on between your meals. Here are 3 foods you must have to
gain that extra fitness boost:
Whole Grains: There are several
types of food that falls under this food group. This is a great
guilt-free food that won't gain you any pounds! Oatmeal, barley, rye,
wheat bread and brown rice may be used to replace your usual chips and
dips, burger and fries. You can create variety of meals out of this food
type. You can have oatmeal early in the morning, wheat bread sandwich
(using lean meat, cheese, tomatoes and other green vegetables as
filling) for snacks and whole wheat spaghetti for dinner. Whole grains
are essential fitness foods to sweep out excess calories, fat and toxins
to trim down your body mass.
Fruits: Fruits are packed with
nutrients and vitamins that your body needs. Not only that, when you're
body is fueled with these nutrients, you won't have to crave for more
food. You can eat fruits during meals or after meals as desserts. High
carbohydrate rich fruits like banana, mangoes, figs and pomegranates are
some you can occasionally consume. Go for those with low sugar with
high fiber rich foods like papaya, blackberries and cranberries. These
are fitness foods you can always eat with gusto!
Low Carbohydrate
Vegetables: Some vegetable groups might be "misleading". Carrots,
potatoes and corn have high carbohydrate contents and should only be
consumed in moderation. Green leafy vegetables are packed with
nutrients, fiber and natural iron. Spinach, broccoli, Romaine lettuce,
mustard and dandelion greens are great ingredients for quick fix salads.
For added variety, these make great soup or steamed vegetables as well.
To
fulfill body fitness, you must learn to balance diet and exercise. Keep
yourself motivated to achieve a slim and fit body. How? Occasionally
treat yourself with some small piece of chocolate, cake or other food
that you like to eat after losing a specific weight in a given time.
But, this only works for short term goals. You need to tell yourself
that being healthy keeps you strong, flexible and healthy -- even with
age. Plan your meals now and start making healthier food options!
