If you want to burn fat and improve your health at the same time, follow these 10 tips to healthy eating:
Pile on the Protein
You should base all your meals around protein. Digesting protein is very thermogenic (meaning it burns calories). Eating a 100 calorie chicken breast burns up about 30 calories... just from digestion! Also, protein is very filling.
Say No to Sugar
Stay away from sugar as much as possible! And I don't just mean white sugar... but also brown sugar, cane sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, and honey.
Fill Up on Fiber
Fiber fills you up so you won't overeat. Fiber lowers the Glycemic Index of the meal you're eating (your blood sugar won't increase as much). And it keeps you regular!
Cut Down on Carbohydrates
Eating lots of low-fat carbohydrates isn't as healthy as we've been told. Cut down on starchy carbohydrates (like bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta) to improve your health and decrease your waistline.
Stray from Sweeteners
Some experts passionately claim that artificial sweeteners destroy your health... while others argue they're harmless. I would not take any risks. Just use an all-natural alternative like Stevia or Xylitol instead.
Fuel Up with Fat
Fat isn't evil! If you don't feed your body fat through your diet, it will hold onto its own body fat. The only fats you need to avoid are trans-fats (those are the hydrogenated oils).
Stock Up on Salmon
Salmon is loaded with those healthy Omega-3 fats. This fat will improve your brain health, heart health, joint health... and reduce your body fat! So get some wild salmon in your diet regularly.
Vary your Vegetables
Vegetables are low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants that will improve your health in countless ways. Consume a variety of vegetables because they all have their own unique health benefits.
Feast on Fruits
Instead of eating a high-calorie sweet dessert... reach for a healthy piece of fruit instead! Fruits are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants. They taste great too!
Binge on Breakfast
Okay don't binge... but make sure you eat a large breakfast! Studies show that people who eat large breakfasts not only consume less calories later on in the day... but they're skinnier too!
When you start using these 10 tips to healthy eating you will be on the fast track to a healthier, slimmer you!
