Two Simple Rules That Can Make Losing Weight Automatic
Most adults today are overweight. And almost every one of us is always on the lookout for the next super diet that will once and for all help us to finally shed the pounds.
It seems that as more and more of us struggle with our weight, there are more and more people coming up with crazy ideas to help us lose it. Many of these are great, and are based soundly on science. One of the troubles is that they can be difficult to comprehend, let alone follow.
Here I’d like to give you two quick rules that can make it easier to eat the right foods, and lose weight. Eating the right foods is the cornerstone of any successful weight loss plan.
One huge enemy to weight loss is sugar, or bad carbs. Of course, the easy solution is to give up all carbs completely, but who are we kidding? That last time I tried that I was a basket case after only two days.
Not all carbs are bad. How do you tell which are good and which are bad? Just avoid anything that was processed. The more something was processed, generally speaking, the worse it is for you. A quick rule is that brown is better.
When choosing pasta, bread or rice, brown is usually better. The whiter a carbohydrate is, generally speaking, the more your body will treat it just like sugar. Of course, brown chocolate is just as bad as white chocolate!
Fats are another mystery to many. There are good fats, and bad fats. The general rule here is choose solid over liquid. Fats in fruits, nuts, and fish are better than fats in oils and french fries.
