Fast and easy tips for weight loss you can start right now

I must get this call and this statement from busy moms, executives, students, all the time “I just don’t have time to eat right and exercise!” No one seems to be able to find the time to lose weight. With all of the responsibilities and Dealings packed into our busy days how are we to keep ourselves healthy and maintain an optimal weight?

When people think weight loss, they think diet and exercise, both of which already sound time consuming. Anyhow after 10 years of seeing clients I will tell you with 100% certainty that if a client follows their nutrition plan without exercise they always lose weight but if they don’t follow their nutrition plan but are consistent with their workouts, there is no weight loss. Anyone who has ever attempted to lose weight without varying to healthier eating alternatives knows this is true. Trust me, I’ll be the first one to tell you all the reasons why exercise is so important but following a healthy eating regimen must be priority number 1!

So if nothing else, the following easy adjustments in your nutrition plan will help to take off, at the very least, an initial 5-10 lbs to get you well on your way to your health and weight loss goals:

1. Only drink water as your beverage (with the occasional unsweetened tea or black coffee)!

Eliminating all sugar drinks, “diet” drinks and sodas will automatically cause a dramatic weight loss. Studies have shown, when all else is kept constant, people lose up to 10lbs just by giving up diet coke. But it has no calories you say? Equal (Aspartame) and all other artificial sweeteners Similar to Splenda and Sweet and Low are toxins to your body and cause weight gain, even more so than sugar!

Squeeze fresh lemon in your water or make flavored herbal teas and cool them to make ice tea to make water drinking much easier. Always consume ½ of your body weight in ounces of water per day to experience adequate hydration and weight loss (ex. If you weigh 150lbs, you must drink 75 ounces of water each day).

2. Eliminate the 4 white devils!

White Flour, Refined Salt, White Sugar, and Dairy. If you just stay away from these 4 things, you will automatically see a drastic decrease in weight and will immediately feel more energetic throughout the day. Most people are well conscious of the harmful effects of flour, refined salt and sugar but dairy? Doesn’t it do a body good? Definitely not! Dairy is one of the number 1 reasons people have such a hard time losing weight. It causes inflammation in the body, digestive problems, clogged arteries, and weight gain. Get your calcium from leafy greens and avoid dairy at all costs. When moms bring in their children to see me with weight and health problems one of the first things I do is take them off dairy. The results are marvelous! Chronically sick kids are now automatically better. And those who have had such a hard time losing weight experience automatic weight loss without dairy.

3. Know exactly where to find the healthy food!

It is honestly just as easy to run in to the local supermarket and get a bag of carrots and some almonds as it is to run into a Quickie-Mart and buy some harmful processed food. You can go absolutely anywhere now and find healthy meal options but you must know what you are looking for. Stay away from mainly packaged foods as the label indicates more of a science experiment than anything that would be close to food. No one wants all of those toxins in their body. Labels should have 2 - 3 items, at most. And the best foods don’t have labels.

Don’t let time be your excuse. If you stop to eat 2-3 times per day and snack in between it is just as easy to find something healthful as it is to find something harmful. Don’t let your body come to a shrieking halt before you decide to do anything about your weight and your health. You know what will be a  huge  impediment on your time? If you or a family member becomes ill due to poor nutrition and lifestyle habits. So tackle the problem now before it really does begin to affect your time and your life! You can replace cars, homes and all material items, but you only get one body! Take good care of it.

Should you avoid these foods for weight loss?

In my over 10 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, I’ve seen many trends come and go…Grapefruit diets, liquid diets, low carb diets, cauliflower diets (ok, I made that up), but there is always “a new popular kid in town” and weight loss thoughts that are the “cool in mechanism” to do.

It seems like these days everyone is going Gluten Free and avoiding gluten like the plague, but is this stratagem really the top way to lose weight? Let’s dive into the theme a petty deeper.

What exactly is Gluten?

First I will tell you what gluten is NOT. Gluten is not a grain, but is a component of grains and cereals. Gluten is actually a protein and is the majority commonly set up in wheat, rye and barley. Since most bread, cereals, crackers, pasta and many packaged snacks all contain either wheat, rye or barley, these foods are all gluten-containing foods.

There are many grains that do not contain gluten such as wild rice, corn, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, quinoa, and some oats. So people who are avoiding gluten will still eat and enjoy these foods or any food made from them.

What’s the immense arrangement about gluten anyhow?

Departure “gluten free” has befall all the rage in the weight loss and health industry. Precisely as going low fat or low crab had its time in the limelight, it seems like the new fad and trend is to go gluten free (c’mon, all the cool kids are doing it). There is a unimportant percentage of people (less than 1% in the United States) that DO necessity to prevent gluten at all costs because they suffer from an extreme allergy to gluten called Celiac Disease. This is a very significant disease that desires to be diagnosed and treated by the right medical professionals and should not be use lightly.

A greater percentage of people are not on foot all-around with Celiac Disease (trust me, you would know if you had it), but have a moderate to severe intolerance to gluten where their digestive system easily cannot method this especially protein causing them symptoms resembling gas, bloating, and digestive difficulty. Another problematic side effect of gluten intolerance is the incapacity to lose unsolicited fat off your Corpse, making it extremely difficult to even lose a few obstinate pounds.

With that being said, I’m going to tell you a bit extremely important about gluten. READY? You Do NOT have to give up gluten in order to lose weight and be healthy. With gluten free being the latest cool theme on the weight loss circuit, everyone seems to believe that going completely gluten free is the only way to lose weight. Now, I’m not saying there isn’t value in giving it a try and many people have experienced drastic changes in their health and weight when going gluten free, but I want you to take your health journey at your own comfortable pace and follow a plan that is livable and feasible for you.

The profit of going Gluten Free

The greater benefit for those who even suspect they may be even slightly gluten intolerant is a relief of their digestive symptoms and weight loss. Yes, people who have struggled for some time even just trying to lose a some pounds have seen a dramatic change in their health and weight loss efforts when taking some time away from gluten and gluten containing products.

Here is a simple step by step process if you imagine gluten just may be the culprit in your struggle to lose those unwanted pounds.

1. Go back to the “Grains” chapter of your manual and review the symptoms of a potential gluten intolerance. As mentioned above, some are gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and fatigue ( a more extensive list can be found in that Grains chapter).

2. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above on a regular basis (3-4 times per week), it would be well worth a try to go gluten free for a minimum of 2 weeks. This means avoiding foods like most breads, cereals, crackers, pasta and processed snacks. Your manual has details on exactly which foods to stay space from and how to still eat delicious meals while staying gluten free.

3. Acquire creative and try new recipes focusing on proteins, vegetables, fruits and grains like rice, quinoa and millet. My family absolutely loves beef and vegetable stir fry over rice, grilled fish over quinoa salad and millet hot cereal for breakfast with chopped nuts and fruit. The choices are endless and your meals do not have to include bread or pasta to be super delicious.

A special NOTE and something extremely important to remember. Be careful and weary of most “Gluten Free” products! I actually think most of these products do more harm than good and can stall and/or prevent weight loss. Here are the ingredients listed on the back of “gluten free” crackers that are promoted as healthy and ideal for a gluten free diet:

potato starch, rice flour, buckwheat flour, eggs, palm oil, modified corn starch, dextrose, salt, yeast, hydroxypropyl  methycellulose, sunflower lecithin, cream of tartar, ammonium bicarbonate, natural flavor.

Does that sound powerfully processed or what????

Here are the ingredients of a breakfast cereal advertised for children as healthy and part of a nutritious gluten free diet:

Organic corn meal, organic whole grain corn meal? Organic evaporated cane juice, organic peanut butter, organic molasses, organic cocoa, sea salt, organic soy oil, natural flavor, tocopherols (natural vitamin E).

I don’t know about you, but that’s definitely not something I am going to give my son, especially with the soy oil in it!

Memorize, you don’t have to go gluten free to lose those obstinate pounds, but it just may be the key to weight loss if you’ve been at a standstill for some time. Again, it would be helpful to refer to the “Grains” chapter of your manual and review some of the potential symptoms and meal plans that are ideal for avoiding gluten in the easiest way possible.

Here is one of the favorite breakfast recipes that will still adapted to your healthy eating plan.

You'll find that all the ingredients below are approved Diet Solution and in perfect health.
How does it taste? Absolutely delicious. And that was verified by the members of my family and many friends in our guest house and enjoyed our Saturday morning ritual.
French Toast a la The Diet Solution.
Ingredients:
2 slices Sprouted Grain, Spelt or Rice bread (each of them has been tried and they all work well)
2 whole eggs
1 TBSP butter
Maple Syrup or Apple Sauce (no sugar added)
Cinnamon to taste
Directions:
Scramble the 2 eggs in a bowl large enough to fit one slice of bread. Dip the bread and make sure it is coated generously with the egg mixture. Heat a pan (on low to medium) large enough for 1 or 2 slices of bread and add the butter. Once the butter is melted in the pan (if it begins to turn brown, you have the heat up too high) add the bread coated with the egg mixture. Cook the bread on each side for 3-4 minutes covered (I find that cover the pan cooks the egg more evenly but you can cook it uncovered as well). Serve with maple syrup (1 tsp per slice is more than enough) or topped with apple sauce and cinnamon (that's how it's eaten).
Is this a cheat meal or a meal “off” of usual healthy eating? Not at all. All of the ingredients are good and natural and fit right into mine (and your) healthy eating plan. If you need or desire a bit more protein with your breakfast, you can add a piece of bacon, breakfast sausage or even another egg on the side.
Enjoy your French Toast!
