There are certain foods which should always be readily available in your kitchen cupboard.
Antioxidant teas - green, oolong, white, rooibos (red tea). Yerba Mite is a South American tea which contains a high quantity of antioxidants. You get different flavours - chocolate, mint, raspberry etc.
GREEN TEA Oat bran and steel cut oats give you a higher fibre content than instant oats in packets. If your purpose is to lose body fat and become lean, eggs, vegetables and bison sausage form a correct breakfast, but if building muscles is your objective, oat bran and oatmeal are better to increase your carbohydrate intake.
Avoid vegetable oils, such as soy and corn oil at all times. Canola oil falls in the same category. Virgin coconut oil, virgin olive oil and Macadamia oil are sensible choices.
Coconut milk. Put it into the fridge in a container after opening.
High fibre rice and brown rice. NEVER use white rice.
Tomato sauces are rich in Lycopene, but don't buy brands loaded with high percentage fructose corn syrup. See to it that it is made of olive oil, and not soy or canola oils. Tomato sauce canned in tins contains high quantities of dangerous bisphenol-A (coming from the can)
Stevia, a natural non-caloric sweetener. Avoid artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, saccharides and sucralose.
Raw honey instead of processed honey, contains more beneficial nutrients and chemicals. A teaspoon in your tea in the morning improves glucose metabolism. Although it contains sugar, it is in small quantities.
Organic REAL Maple syrup (stay away from Aunt Jamima, which has a high fructose content. Because of its high sugar content, it should only be added to smoothies after a workout, to add some sweetness and cause an insulin surge, to help the muscles recover faster after a workout.
