Good morning,
A few tips on stabilizing your fat loss and keeping a high metabolism
1. stabilize your blood sugar and energy level
2. control your hunger and cravings
3. keep you energized throughout the day
4. stay in control to avoid over-eating or making unwise choices.
As strange as this may sound at first, certain foods require more energy to process and digest than others do. 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,* 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 are very low in calories, yet high in fiber so quite filling and are loaded with vitamins and minerals and other very beneficial nutrients. They also 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!
