So I’ve started my slimming program and I’ve yet to see much results, so in addition, I’m going on a healthy diet. Why do I say healthy diet? Well, most diets AREN’T healthy since you’re starving yourself and denying your body the nutrition it needs. (Yes I’ve been researching and reading everything I can find on this subject). So, following the slogan of an article I read, Stop Dieting, Start Eating!
Yes, a contradiction – but the only way to lose weight HEALTHILY is
1. to start eating the right food
2. knowing what metabolism type
3. and some exercise.
After going thru a quiz, I found out I’m a Mixed Type (Carb Type and Protein Type) so I can mix my mealplans from these two types. I get hungry at different times and I feel satisfied and full (not sleepy/not craving) at certain foods as well.
The principles to follow:
1. Sugar is evil. Artificial sweetener is evil too (its processed “stuff” yeck!) this includes carbonated drinks, tinned / bottled drinks..
2. Hydrogenated Oils, Margarine, Canola Oil – evil. Go for real butter, coconut oil
3. Any processed food – SUPER EVIL. Your liver too busy to get rid of this chemically-factory-made “stuff” to do its work and break down body fats. Dont eat anything with corn starch, fructose, anything with chemical names.. yeck!
4. Eat natural food – eggs, lean meat, chicken, fruits, vegies.
How?
1. Manage your calorie intake – eat often but not heavily – this will manage your hunger
2. Eat fruits (apples, oranges), rice, eggs, boiled chicken, beef. Green vegies.
3. Drink green tea and something I mixed (ginger, lemon plus honey) to detox and flush toxins, fats out.
4. Daily exercise, just a short one to sweat it out and tone your body.
I’m on Day 7 – and I’ve lost 1.6kg so far. Hmm.. have to work harder!
Hehe.. Join my club..
I found out midnight snacks is the culprit, so i replace fruits like watermelon, pineapple etc…etc..Cut 80% of carb and drink only water.. (prefer cold water)..
Btw, I still miss KFC, mackies, cokes and chips..
