Eating to Loose Weight

Now as many of you may have heard when it comes to weight loss, it includes 70% diet and 30% exercise. With that said, what you eat has everything to do with how you weight and look. Now I am not showing you something that you should only do for a couple of weeks and then go back to your old eating habits. This is a changing diet for the rest of your life. You can take this for all that I say or take what you want and adapt it to your own desired eating habits.

When it comes to eating healthy, it means that you should eat clean. What this means is to eliminate processed foods and sugar. Another way to eat very clean is to also eliminate gluten , dough, and dairy. Now I know that this could be very hard and expensive to do for the rest of the life if you don't have that determination. So in regards to my own life, I am going to try to eat super clean for at least a month to easily shed off the weight and then to later integrate in small quantities dairy and some dough into my life as treats rather than main consumption of meals.

Now since I am not a nutritionist and only have limited knowledge of eating clean. I am only going to share with you a little bit of my knowledge and then link you to others who know more than I do.  A great way to take the place of gluten and dough is to integrate grains such as quinoa and wild rice or brown rice as well as including beans. These are great source of Protein that can keep you full for long periods of time. Also Oatmeal is a great option when it comes to breakfast. I know eliminating sugar can be really hard and tiring at first, but if you substitute for fruit, dried fruit and dark chocolate that has a cocoa percentage higher than 75% you will be able to curb your craving for sugar. Dairy is also a thing that is not great for your body, it is hard to process and can make a lot of people bloated without really knowing. It can also cause some skin problems. A great substitute for milk is Almond Milk. I prefer this over soy milk, or coconut milk, but it is also about taste preference so you should try to find one that you prefer.

And this goes without needing to say, you should drink a lot of water. By drinking a lot of water you could shed a couple pounds right there because you body was holding on to water because it was dehydrated. It can also flush out the toxins that are trapped in your system.
