Let’s begin by understanding what it really means to eat a *healthy balanced diet. (*link to LF post)
In order for us to loose weight, we need to get rid of eating the bad stuff out of our diet. These “bad foods” are usually the ones we least expect to be detrimental to our health.
We’d like to think that foods that comes in boxes, a plastic pack or bottle would be good for us. But in reality, this type of food is the one thing that keeps us from eating nutritious meals everyday.
Did you know that most of the ready to eat food is laced with preservatives that are high in salt and sugar which can cause serious health problems for us in the long run? It might not mean much to you now especially that these type of foods are easily accessible and quite affordable.
Cooking delicious and nutritious meals also take time and effort, and for people living a fast paced lifestyle, the mere act of preparing fresh food to eat can be a chore. But the fact still remains that preparing your own meal, eating naturally grown meat and produce is the best type of food we should take for optimal weight loss.
Let’s take this into perspective shall we? Below is a sample nutritional value between a fresh fruit and its packed alternative
Fresh banana VS banana chips (insert image and bullet point list)
Fresh Apple VS Apple juice
Fresh strawberry VS strawberry milk
Based on the nutritional comparison above, which one do you think will give you optimal health?
Wihout a doubt, Eating fresh fruits is always the best option. Know that everything we eat also affects our bodily function. So if you seriously want to loose weight, then you need to eat the right type of foods that can speed up the weight loss process.
Like they always say when it comes to our eating habits, “You are what you eat”.
If you prioritize your overall health for optimal performance, you will loose all those unwanted pounds in no time. But if you choose to eat more processed food that are packed with preservatives, salt and sugar, then expect more health problems to come your way.
So what type of foods should you eat for weight loss?
