8 ways for Healthy Living, Diet Plan & Effective Weight Loss: Part7

      7.     Fruit and Vegetables – The balanced vitamin supplement program

Your health and willpower can be challenged as a reduction of food intake often means a reduction of vital nutrients (micronutrients) that we get from foods. This can cause a situation known as Nutrient Deficiency Stimulated Appetite. This problem is simply solved be eating 5-9 serves of fresh fruits and vegetables daily – the only supplement system you will ever need. Also you’ll save money in food costs when you start making healthy whole food choices. The quality of the foods and diets of many people is so poor that they are both overfed (too much food) and undernourished (not enough nutrients). This combination leads to weight gain and health problems.

      6.     Eat 5 or 6 smaller balanced meals per day

     

One of the keys to being able to access body fat as a source of energy is to maintain even blood sugar throughout the day. Even blood sugar and energy is achieved by having 5 to 6 well spaced smaller meals and making sure each meal has a correct balance of protein (essential amino acids) carbohydrate and fats (essential fatty acids).

The majority of your carbohydrates should be ones that increase blood sugar slowly. Do this by reducing all sugars and starchy carbohydrate foods, and replacing them with fruits, salads, vegetables and whole-unprocessed grains. This will also increase your nutrient and fibre intake. Research shows that a high fibre intake (36 grams plus) may reduce the calories adsorbed from foods by up to 130 calories.
