Make Smart Food Choices to Lose Weight and Keep it Off

PROTEIN:

Did you know the large majority of your body is protein?
80% of your body is protein.

It is a no brainer that you must include adequate amount of protein to your daily diet.

If you don't you will suffer from low energy, weak immune system, hormonal imbalance, premature aging....
The worst of all When there is not enough protein in your diet, your body actually uses protein from its own tissues, breaking down your hard-earned muscles, organs, etc..

When you reduce your lean muscle you reduce your metabolism and you'll burn less calories.
It is so important that you look after your protein intake.

FATS:

We don't like to hear this word, but there are some fats that are essential to our normal body function.

Fat has twice more calories than other types of foods, but your body needs some fat.

So be careful not to go for Fat-Free products as they have so much carbohydrate.

Good fats are unsaturated fats. You can find them in foods such as olives, avocados, extra-virgin olive oil, safflower oil, flax oil, nuts..etc.

Bad Fats are the ones that clog arteries and increase your cholesterol levels and blood pressure. You can find them in meats, dairy products, lard and cream.

STAY AWAY FROM ALL SATURATED FATS!

CARBOHYDRATES:

All carbohydrates eventually turn into sugar when they are broken down and absorbed by your body.

You need Carbohydrates as a primary source of fuel and essential to your survival.

Carbohydrates can be found in fruits, vegetables, rice, pasta, beans... etc

Simple carbohydrates are very easy to absorb by your body. They are the worst kind of carbohydrates to eat.

Complex carbohydrates take the longer to break down hence longer-lasting release of energy.

Did you know that the most fattening food type after fat is carbohydrates?
