Losing weight is just not eating less or walking more. Its all about altering your life style, making life changing choices about what you take inside your body and how much do you want to be healthy. However, a lot of us make mistakes and are not aware of the foods to avoid and stay away from. Following are the guidelines that you can follow in creating your own list of what to eat and what you should be avoiding at all costs.
White Carbohydrates: Also known as white food. Carbohydrates are the main primary source of energy for our body. But if the intake of white carbohydrates is increased or left unmonitored than it can cause serious weight gain. Examples are Pasta, Noodles, Potatoes, White Rice, Flour, Butter, White bread, etc.
You need to stop drinking sodas & diet sodas. Just imagine, if your stop drinking a 20 oz bottle of soda everyday and start drinking the same quantity of water… You will end up losing 35 pounds in 1 year, There!! You just saved 3 months worth of cardio and can still shed the extra baggage!
It is a common misunderstanding that drinking dark coffee can help us lose a few pounds, if not, at least it will accelerate the process. That's Right!! It is a misunderstanding. Coffee increases the stress levels in your body, which causes your appetite to increase and makes you feel hungry thus making you eat more.
Stay away from the vending machine!! Immediately stop eating Twinkies, candy bars, energy bars, potato chips, popcorn, cookies, ice cream, cakes and all foods that make you go all weak in the gut. These foods have no nutritional value and contain harmful substances like sugar, corn syrup and hydrogenated oils that make you gain a lot of weight. Lets go ahead and look at some examples to enlighten your palate.
French fries: An average serving of french fries [ AVG 20 fries] can give you up to 237 calories in which 46% is from fat.
Potato Chips: They are easy to find and scrumptious to eat. But 10 chips can easily give you over 100 calories, out of which almost 55 calories come only from fat. Your choice, work out for 20 minutes to lose 100 calories or skip the chip and chip away the pounds!
Now we have a list of Don'ts. It will be much easier for us to create a DO list for ourselves. For example, replace coffee with green tea, Alcohol with water, Potato Chips with pretzels, fast food with organic food. In a few weeks you will see the pounds shedding away from areas you never thought possible. But do remember, exercise is key. Work on your cardio, jog, skip, hop, jump, burn those fat cells into sweat and rid them of your butt!
