"Is a Diet Change the Key to Successful Weight Loss?"




It is that time of year honey bunches of love! We are getting rid of what does not serve us any longer! We are talking about all kinds of healthy weightloss. Yes today. This is the best day to start. But you don't have to do a lot. The biggest mandatory step is the mindset first. I am speaking to myself loudly now.



One of the most important things to do when you are trying to get in shape is taking caution of your diet. This does not take any time from your schedule and you will feel much healthier when you eat the right foods in the right quantity.





One of the best ways to change your diet is to change to an organic one. If you can not because of lack of access to organic produce, try your best to buy organic for the dirty dozen and when you can. Make sure to thoroughly rinse all produce. It is good to increase the fiber in your diet, which will clean out your colon of all negative weight loss inhibitors. This means that instead of eating refined or processed foods, you should eat whole grain foods like brown rice and whole wheat bread. This has more fiber and less bad fats such as trans fat and cholesterol.


You should also increase your input of protein, minerals and vitamins. To do this it is good to eat more fruits and vegetables and substitute red meat for fish and chicken or if you are like me plant-based try tofu, kale, lentils and other legumes. Yes kale is a great source of protein. But if you do eat meat, these meats have less calories and fat and still provide more protein.



One of the most important parts of changing your diet is to completely eliminate junk food. This will include candy, chips, popcorn, ice cream, milk shakes and soda. You can substitute fruits and vegetable snacks instead. Instead of sodas you can drink water or dilute juice with water for flavor. You will find this makes a huge difference in your sugar and fat intake.


You will feel healthier and have more energy when you change your diet. At first you may feel a little different with the extra fiber and complete change in food but this will soon pass and your body will work better and more efficiently. You will have more energy and feel like an entirely new, better person.





Keeping fit does not just depend on exercises, diet also plays an important part in improving your. Remember that looking after your health and staying fit is an investment in yourself and something you should not neglect or you will find that you will regret poor health habits later. Diet is one part of staying fit that does not take any time and you will reap the benefits throughout your life once you get into a good habit. With these few points you can make huge strides towards staying fit and healthy and being able to do the things you want to do.
