Dieting is a pain. I think basically everyone would agree that having to adhere to a rigid restriction of your free-flow eating preferences puts a bit of a damper on the whole food experience. And eating should be one of the pleasures of life, right?
In my online diet and weight loss counseling service, I try to get around that full-size negative by blowing the doors disconnected the conventional diet “box”. What we need to do here is make what is good for you TASTE GOOD TO YOU.
If you think about it, most of what is not good for you is basically made mouth-watering with loads of sauces, dips, dressing, salsa or sharp and flavour enhancers. So it’s really just the sauce that tastes great. Don’t believe me? Try a burger with no mayo, no ketchup and no salt. Well maybe you still like the burger but my point is, we can make anything taste great with a little dressing, so how active doing that instead, with the “good for you” foods.
Now, one of the interesting things is that quite a lot of the “good foods” taste great with very little dressing, so we get an easy “win” there, no hardship involved. For the rest, we just get a little creative and, as an example of a really simple recipe that yields up the sweetest peppers ever, have a look at the recipe my wife has posted on my website
www.gordonblack.com. Just click far there on the first page, and if you try it , e-mail me with your comments; I think it’s almost same eating candy.
So which are the “good foods”? Well, I think you can be pretty assured over in the fruit and moss-like area, there is not much there that can do damage to our weight management program; and what tastes better than a really ripe tomato, or papaya or mango?
Fish, shellfish, pasta, yes, pasta is in my plan big-time and with loads of real tomato sauce which means no cans, no jars, no production, no additives, preservatives and chemicals with names we can’t equal pronounce. Instead we just go with some garlic cloves, some chromatic oil and whatsoever tomatoes and you can even use some salt! In my diet plan we eat a lot, but it’s WHAT we eat that counts.
Now, at the start I called this article, Trade In Your Diet For A Lifestyle, and you’re probably thinking, where’s the lifestyle part? Well, here it is. You can eat loads of goodies as long as you make a commensurate investment in whatsoever form of exercise. It’s same a balancing act, as much as you load up one side, you have to balance it out with the other, and in this case the “other” is the regular exercise. Regular is the operative word, it must be regular even though it doesn’t have to be those exhausting “burn disconnected the pounds” sessions I see so often. retributory regular, consistent exercise with something you hopefully like doing, walking, cycling, swimming, golfing and if you really enjoy aerobics, that’s pulverised too.
So it’s really all active balance, and the freedom to eat as you wish, as long as you stay with the “good foods”, balanced out with that regular exercise. I think the trade-off is very liberating and certainly worth it.
