You Are What You Eat - Choose Healthy Food and Get Rid of the Excess Pounds

By Adam Lee


You've most likely heard that you are what you eat. You may have thought it was just a phrase said by parents wanting their young ones to eat their leafy vegetables but you truly are what you eat! When you eat a tuna sandwich, your body breaks down the amino acids from the tuna and uses it to make new cells and build muscle. When you ingest too much junk food, you may find that your complexion changes and you look heavier, whereas when you eat healthy foods, your overall appearance is improved. If you're truly interested in getting rid of those excess pounds, you need to evaluate your diet. When your diet is unhealthy, exercising a lot won't be helpful to you. It's essential that you include good and hearty food in your diet.

So now we'll look what you must be including in your healthy diet so you can achieve weight loss. You want to reduce calories so you will slim down, but you don't want to starve yourself so much that you start bingeing in junk food. You should try to slowly change, don't drop your calories and eat healthy suddenly. Start to slowly modify your meals and snacks so that you are eating more healthily. Hence, the first thing should include in your diet is protein. Protein is important for restoring cells and building muscle, as well as a few other things.

Last, you must include fats. Yes, even though you're attempting to trim down the fat in your body, your body still needs dietary fats. Go for healthy fats including those found in nuts and fish. And don't forget to eat fresh fruit and veg because they contain lots of vitamins and minerals that your body needs!

Make sure you are aware of the foods you must keep off your diet. Almost all of them are pretty obvious; avoid ingesting too much fat by ingesting lean cuts of meat and don't eat junk food since it has too much calories of little nutritional value. Avoid refined sugars in bread and pasta products and choose healthier whole grain choices. Get rid of alcoholic drinks whenever feasible as it will not help you to slim down.

Now you know the foods that you must and shouldn't include in your diet. Look into some healthy options to replace your current eating habits. Allow your stomach to slowly get smaller by eating 5 or 6 small meals per day so that eating big meals will no longer be a problem for you.
