Are There Keys To Losing Weight?

I visited the doctor several years ago for a routine check-up. He gave me some very bad news. He told me that my triglycerides and cholesterol were high and that I needed to lose 20 pounds. They rejected me when I tried to get insurance for myself and my family. I was 6’1″ tall and weighed in at 195 pounds. The message was not good and my handwriting was visible on the wall. I knew that I needed to make major changes. Although I had been studying nutrition and health for many decades, I was slowly falling into an unhealthy lifestyle and making poor food choices.

Food Factor

I was prone to eating fast food, especially orange chicken, which is deep fried and full of unhealthy toxins such as MSG, fat, salt, and fat. After my appointment, I decided that I would get out my nutrition and health books and create a plan to improve my health. I created a nine-step plan to help me regain my health and shed more than 20 pounds of fat. If you’re serious about making major lifestyle changes and losing weight, here is a quick summary of the nine steps. Step 1: Eat only organic, healthy, nutritious food.

This includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, beans and nuts, as well as plenty of grains, legumes and seeds. Consume approximately 75% of your food in its raw form. Get plenty of fiber from whole grains and vegetables in your diet. Reduce your portions and eat less. Divide your meals into three parts and don’t let starch-rich carbohydrates like potatoes, pasta, bread, and bread take up more than a third of your meal. Include a green salad with your lunch or dinner. Rather than eating three large meals, eat smaller meals more often.

Take Note

Don’t eat if you aren’t hungry at mealtime.

• Avoid eating refined and fattening, prepackaged, toxic, sugar-laden man-made foods that are high in sugars, fats salt, toxic additives, refined flour, and other harmful substances.

In moderation, you can also enjoy home-made fresh squeezed vegetable and fruit juices. Another alternative is herbal tea. Avoid soda, diet sodas, canned and bottled juices, and do not consume any sugary drinks.
