Two Simple Rules That Can Make Losing Weight Automatic
Posted by Cindy Burgenstein under weight lossNo Comments
If you are overweight, there are certainly no shortage of options, or diets to lose weight with. Any trip to the bookstore will reveal this obvious fact about the weight loss industry.
It seems that as more and more of us struggle with our weight, there are more and more people coming up with crazy ideas to help us lose it. Many of these are great, and are based soundly on science. One of the troubles is that they can be difficult to comprehend, let alone follow.
Here I’d like to give you two quick rules that can make it easier to eat the right foods, and lose weight. Eating the right foods is the cornerstone of any successful weight loss plan.
One huge enemy to weight loss is sugar, or bad carbs. Of course, the easy solution is to give up all carbs completely, but who are we kidding? That last time I tried that I was a basket case after only two days.
Not all carbs are bad. How do you know? Usually it’s a good idea to avoid anything processed. To do this simply choose brown whenever possible.
Brown bread over white bread. Brown pasta over yellow pasta. Brown rice over white rice. This will go a long way in reducing your sugar load, as most white carbohydrates will be treated more like pure sugar by your body, which will obviously kill your weight loss efforts.
When choosing fats, choose solid, natural fats. Fats found in vegetables such as avocado’s are good. Fats found in a bottle of oil are bad. Fats found in fish is good, fats found in french fries are bad. Just ask yourself, did this grow this way? If it did, then it’s ok. If it didn’t, and it was processed somehow try and avoid it.
Just by choosing good carbs and fats over their bad counterparts, you will be going a long way to getting that sexy, attention grabbing body that you deserve. Not to mention the increased energy levels and skyrocketing self esteem that comes with it.
