As strange as this may sound at first, certain foods require more energy to
process and digest than others do. And eating them regularly can help you
lose fat.
Many foods fit the bill as “high-energy” foods, such as celery, carrots, and
apples – just to name a few.
Simply eating a small portion of these types of foods right before your
meal, will give you all 4 of the benefits listed above, making it easier to
stick with your nutrition plan.
Sounds pretty simple, huh? It is.
Here’s how it works…
BREAKFAST:
* Eat a 1/2 of an apple 15 minutes prior to your first meal.
* Then eat a healthy breakfast that contains, a natural starchy carb, like
oatmeal.
* And finally, include a protein source, such as a small protein shake.
…You’ll find that you’ll eat less, and your cravings for sugar will be
dramatically diminished. The pectin in the apple peel will help your blood
sugar stabilize and you’ll be less hungry throughout the day and have more
energy.
LUNCH:
* Eat a raw carrot (or several baby carrots) immediately before lunch.
* Then, eat a healthy lunch: a small portion of a natural starchy carb, such
as black beans or brown rice, some veggies, such as a salad, and a lean
protein, such as chicken, tofu, or fish.
…Contrary to popular belief, carrots should not be feared! Yes, they’re
high on the glycemic index, but they’re filling and low in calories.
You see, veggies in general are perfect for fat loss because they:
1.) are very low in calories, yet high in fiber so quite filling…
2.) are loaded with vitamins and minerals and other very beneficial
nutrients, and…
3.) have very few adverse effects on blood sugar levels (especially when
combined with protein).
DINNER:
* Eat 1-2 raw celery sticks (or similar veggie) prior to dinner.
* Then, eat a healthy dinner of a lean protein source with lots of veggies.
* Chicken salad, shrimp fajitas, or lean steak kabobs all work well.
Following these three easy steps can cause radical changes in your body’s
ability to cleanse itself, burn more fat, stay energized, and prevent you
from overeating at each meal – guaranteed!
