Two Simple Rules That Can Make Losing Weight Automatic
Posted on 03 March 2010
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.
I’d like to give you a couple of quick rules here that can take some of the guesswork out of what you should eat, so it will be easier for you to lose weight. While eating the right food is only one part of the puzzle, it’s a huge part.
The biggest enemy to any weight loss plan is the wrong carbohydrates. Sure, you can eliminate the altogether, as many diets recommend. Several studies are starting to show that these can be effective, at least in the short term.
Not all carbs are bad. How do you tell which are good and which are bad? Just avoid anything that was processed. The more something was processed, generally speaking, the worse it is for you. A quick rule is that brown is better.
When choosing pasta, bread or rice, brown is usually better. The whiter a carbohydrate is, generally speaking, the more your body will treat it just like sugar. Of course, brown chocolate is just as bad as white chocolate!
Good fats and bad fats can be another mystery. The easy way to choose is pick natural over processed, or solid over liquid. Solid fats in fish, avocado, and nuts are good. Liquid fats in oils, and all deep fried foods, are bad. Pretty simple.
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.
