Since I have just burnt off a lot of fat after my last goal, I decided to focus on a 3 dietary keys that helped me the most.
1) Eat Whole Food: This is so important. I stayed away from processed foods and sugars. I replaced all that with good wholesome food. This meant fresh vegetables and fruits, eggs, raw milk, good quality meat, nuts and seeds.Yes there were times I did do cheat meals but the whole foods gave me a whole new way to eat. Since it was more nutrient dense rather than calorie dense there was need for me to go snacking as often which cut off unnecessary calories.
2) Vegetables: If ever there was one powerful group of foods this one was it! Vegetables have a way of detoxing the body and blunting up insulin. Most of my carbs came from vegetables. Since they were also nutrient dense and rich in fiber, I was quite full and did not have a problem with other starchy carbs when I did eat them.
3) Practice of Intermittent Fasting: This is the biggest one for me. I will be covering a more detailed topic on this later. Intermittent fasting turned out to be a blessing which taught me a lot. I was freed from eating every few hours. It mentally strengthened me. It also helped me when I did do cheat meals and had to balance out the calories. I had more energy, got stronger and the way the food was used up by my body was boosted.
I would strongly recommend incorporating these three steps in your eating habits. If you need any help you can always post a comment on this blog or contact me.
