WHAT TO STOCK YOUR FRIDGE WITH
A good diet plan to lose weight should not only be about weight-loss, but it should suggest healthy foods for diets, which are also delicious and give your body a lean, hard appearance.
LOTS AND LOTS OF FRESH FRUIT
Important starting point is to stock your fridge and cupboards with healthy foods for diets. Buy healthy foods which will encourage weight loss, when you go to the grocery store.
A good starting point is to buy vegetables such as onions, zucchini, spinach, fresh mushrooms, red peppers and broccoli to chop up with lean chicken or turkey sausage (free of nitrites and nitrates). Grass-fed bison sausage and swiss goat cheese (preferably grass-fed if available) add to the taste of your omelette.
Be sure to include the yolk of the eggs – the most nutritious part, and it raises your GOOD cholesterol (free range eggs if you can get them).
Coconut milk added to smoothies, oatmeal or yoghurt add a rich, creamy taste. It is also one of the healthy foods for diets, because it is high in saturated fats, such as chain triglycerides (MCTs), especially lauric acid (crucial for your immune system).
HERE’S A LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR FRIDGE:
- Raw walnuts, pecans and almonds contain large quantities of healthy fats.
NUTS AND SEEDS ARE ESSENTIAL IN A HEALTHY DIET
- Yoghurt (preferably grass-fed and organic), cottage cheese and ricotta mixed with chopped nuts and berries – great taste in mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack.
- Chia or hemp seeds (unground, because the omega-3 polyunsaturated fats in them are unstable, and cause high levels of free radicals during oxidization in the ground form). These seeds are very nutritious when added to yoghurt, smoothies or salads for a nutty taste, and provide loads of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
- Whole eggs – very nutritious
- Salsa
- Avocados provide healthy fats, fibre and other essential nutrients. Add them to wraps, salads and sandwiches.
- Butter in small quantities (because it is high in calories), preferably organic and grass-fed (to avoid harmful chemicals). Grass-fed butter is high in omega-3 fats and CLH. Avoid margarine at all costs – heart attack!!!
- Nut butters – be creative and mix almond, pecan, cashew and macadamia butter. This broadens the range of vitamins, minerals and micro nutrients, and contains excellent nutrients.
- Lettuce, spinach and shredded carrots are great for salad.
- Dress with a home made dressing: a mixture of balsamic vinegar, spices, extra virgin olive oil, and a superior oil blend. Avoid canola and soybean oil.
- Limited quantity bread. Create variety with sprouted grain bread.
- Rice bran – large amounts of minerals and vitamins, but lower in starch than regular rice. Great with yoghurt and smoothies.
