There is so much conflicting information about nutrition; it’s not a surprise that people would give up on their own weight program to lose weight after only a few days. Losing weight can be an uphill battle, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Don’t let fad diets make the process more complicated than it actually is.

Don’t get me wrong, losing weight certainly has its challenges, and trust me I’ve been there. But if you are armed with the right information, slimming down is not as hard as it could be if you get rid of all that processed food out of your diet and replace it with nutrient dense natural foods. You will lose the weight and feel healthier before you know it.

Fresh Fruits & Veggies

By adding a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to your daily diet you will get the vitamins and minerals you need to support important functions of your body. Here are examples: calcium helps support bone health, vitamin C boosts the immune system, vitamin A supports healthy vision and skin, and B vitamins work to reduce stress and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Carbs are important because they provide fuel for the body, and fruits and vegetables are rich sources of complex carbohydrates and fiber. Fiber helps to regulate the bowels and expands your stomach to help you feel full longer, and eat less, which means dropping body fat.

I have always been a supporter of free roaming chickens, grass fed meats and whole organic eggs, because organic just makes sense.

Poultry & Beans

When you make poultry and beans part of your regular diet, you are getting the protein your body needs to maintain good health. Protein is referred to as the “building blocks” of the body because these nutrients are found almost everywhere in your body. Without protein you will experience problems like fatigue, skin ulcers, weakness, sleeping disorders and organ damage.

Inadequate protein can also cause crankiness, depression, anxiety, as well as other mental health issues. When you add protein to your diet you are less likely to overeat because meals are more satisfying and it helps control you appetite.

Lean Meats, Fish & Raw Nuts

You need lean meats in your diet to ensure you get enough iron. Iron is needed to build hemoglobin and transport oxygen to the cells throughout your body. If you don’t get enough iron in your body you run the risk of iron deficient anemia. Symptoms of anemia can include: dizziness, weakness, fatigue, headaches, and problems regulating body temperature.

Don’t avoid eating healthy fats. Healthy fats provide the body with energy, build up the brain, helps produce hormones, and provides a cushion for your internal organs.

Fats enable the body to use vitamins more efficiently. Be sure to include fish and raw nuts as staples in your diet so that you get some of the fats you need for your good health.

If you eliminate processed foods from your diet and replace them with poultry, beans, lean meat, raw nuts and fish, you can shed those unwanted pounds without anxiety. The weight won’t come off overnight, but it will come off. And remember, no diet plan is complete or 100% successful with out an exercise program.
