In an Out, FOOD



As we all know, or have read somewhere, eating certain foods will drop weight, or give you a boost of energy to carry you through whatever you’re doing at that point in your timeline.  Im going to give you a quick break down of foods ideal for fighting fatigue.  You want to make sure your daily diet consists of grains, fruits, vegetables, and some lean meats, fish, nuts for protein.  What I am telling you is more of a guideline, so use the knowledge and work it with your daily activities. You can have one day for eating a large portion of fruits, the next day meats, and so fourth.   Combining  foods to create weight lose dieting is not very accurate, more so a way to lure people  that are not well educated dieting. Humans are carnivores; we will attract and eat almost anything. You want to use food to your advantage, and this will require you to know what effects food has.  You may want a quick boost so you can grab a banana ( a source of carbs) or a spoon of peanut better (protein) to maintain your energy till your next  meal.  Loosing weight means eating more,  we are not talking about full out  12 meals aday; more along the likes of your three main meals an smart snaking in between.  This takes discipline  although eating small meals thorough the day may help regulate the secretion of insulin better, too much insulin, can associated with you diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Try this out for yourself,
 Get up in the morning and drink a cup of tea or coffee, and a bagel, then start your day, whitin 2 hours you will be hungry.  You have just stepped up your metabolism with out lifting a weight, an now give your body a snack, over time your body will stop retaing fat ( energy) knowing that it will be getting food to process for it energy. This results in your early stages of losing weight.
TIP: drinking tea, Caffeine has been known to jumpstart the metabolism. "Mild stimulants, such as coffee, tea, or chocolate, are OK in moderation
·         eat regularly, try to eat from more than one food groups.
·         avoid overeating this will reduce the ability to digest your food.
·         burn more than you ingest.
muscle is more active than fat tissue so it burns calories faster

Vegetables The main foods in the vegetable area which provide high amounts of energy are; sprouts, broccoli, asparagus and spinach.

Nuts Some nuts are a great energy source and are often very suited to a quick snack. Almonds, peanuts and soy nuts are perfect for this example. 

Yogurt Yogurt is full of vitamin-B, and this vitamin helps your body convert other nutrients into energy. You should not eat excessive amounts of yogurt due to the fat content. You could eat a nut yogurt to mix the yogurt and nut energy foods into one snack. 

Eggs Eggs are a great source of energy, and this food will supply a high amount of protein throughout the working day. Some experts advise not to eat more than three eggs a week, so try to mix your weeks food plan up with other high energy foods. 

Beans & Lentils Beans and lentils are a great source of potassium and carbohydrates. Kidney beans, lentils, baked beans and many others provide a great source of energy for your body. 

Seeds Sunflower and pumpkin seeds are also a great source of energy for your body. These are great as a stand-alone snack, and also combined with other ingredients in nut bars.
