HELP!

[Guest guest]

OK everyone, I looked at a recent picture of me and I have to tell you I am in

bad shape! I am also growing out of my sweat pants! OMG! I need to know what

foods are good for making you metabolism run faster or better? What foods are

better to eat than others and I am not talking about junk:) What fruits, veggies

and nuts?

 

Thanks,

Val

Hee hee, don't sit at the TV every night for an hour eating " deluxe mixed nuts "

and drinking rum and coke... I've gained several pounds since starting this

ritual. Substituting lowfat/low calorie stuff can help a whole lot, not

necessarily with metabolism but just with limiting calories. When you would

normally eat regular popcorn, use lowfat, etc. Tastes like cardboard, yes. Less

fat, though. I never found the sacrifice worth the results, which is why I've

gained so much weight lately. : )

Wow! Sounds like you have found the secret. We should all follow suit.

Hey Val! The story of my life!!!!! :0) I find that the easiest

thing to do is to sub out high fat foods for low fat (not nessesarily

non-fat). But, the best way to lose the weight and do it the right way

in my honest opinion, is to get rid of as much processed, " WHITE "

stuff that you can. Instead of white bread use 100% whole wheat, brown

rice instead of white, whole wheat pasta instead of white. If you are

not vegan, then use low fat dairy (cheese, milk) instead of the full

fat. Keep a large container of salad greens in the fridge for quicky

meals. Fat free and low fat homemade hummus is always good with any

low fat dipping thing. Everything in moderation as the saying goes.

And the best way to rev up the metabolism is to start an exercise

program (as little as short walks daily). Muscle cranks up the

metabolism.

Try eating live foods as much as you can. Salads can be substituted for all

those nuts and popcorn. Fruit is a great choice. Your

body craves live foods, which keeps it in a healthy state. Also...just adjusting

your eating habits is not looking at the whole

picture. As much as we all hate to hear it...we need exercise too! Plus once you

start cutting back on the sugar, which is a

difficult move, your body will stop craving it. Which, of course, is a good

thing. When that donut is calling for you, just

remember that eating one donut is like eating 8 pieces of really fat bacon.

UGH!!! That stops me in my tracks when I see

donuts in the office.

 

I know...no one wants to hear this stuff. Sorry gang!

Good advice and I will take it a bit further, stay away from bread that has

the word enriched on it. It is bad for you , even if it is wheat or whole

grain bread. You have to watch out even with those types of bread.
