healthy diet

The best way is not to burst into extreme diets and extreme exercises because the body likes a slow healthy precess of changes in terms of food and exercises.

For example have levels for your exercises, start of  going for a little jog or use the theadmill, I don't mean miles a day but something you and your body is comfortable with. Sit-ups, crunches for the upper belly and leg lifts for the lower stomach. Just lie on your back, hands under your butt. Lift you legs straight up and down (don’t let your feet touch the ground.) Do this 2 times a day and fatter two weeks start 3 to 4 times a day.

We should learn to pick out the best healthy foods from our normal daily diet and use them to form the basis for our new healthy eating habits.

Homemade fresh fruit Natural Juices

The fresh fruit natural juices are always a guaranteed source of health. It is easy to blend them during summer time as all the needed fruits are easier to purchase and you are always in the mood of a fruit juice on ice during a hot summer day. 

Chile-Lime marinated Chicken Breast


Do you like chicken breast? Add some chili-lime, let it marinate and you have a consistent lunch. If you like the idea you can find below, the recipe for this meal. I can tell you from the start that if you follow it exactly, you will end up with a ‘Chile-Lime marinated chicken breast’ that provides 244 calories, 7 grams of fat and 32 grams of proteins.
The above values are acceptable even for someone on diet. As this recipe is intended for lunch and lunch should be the most consistent meal of the day

Food for bodybuilding

by Anthony Alayon, CFT
One of the biggest things that bother me when it comes to eating healthy and helping others decrease body fat are deceptive food labels. I cannot begin to describe to you how many people have fallen for the evil tricks that the weight loss industry has set up for them.

They have been misled and think that if the words “0 grams of fat” or “no sugar” are on the label that the food item in question is automatically healthy for them. This could not be any further from the truth and is why I decided to write this article.

I will give you 4 ingredients that you may have thought were healthy but are really not! So fasten your seat belts and get ready for the truth!

Deceptive Food Ingredient #1: Aspartame

There are over 90 side effects linked to Aspartame. These side effects can occur gradually or immediately. Some of the common side effects include a decrease in vision, hearing impairments, headaches, migraines, dizziness, depression, anxiety, high blood pressures and low blood sugar.

Although I have taken aspartame for quite some time as it is found in several popular foods and supplements, the point is to try and avoid over-exposure to it as much as possible. Some common items that contain aspartame are processed cereals, flavored coffee, ice cream, certain juices and the sugar free items you see, such as cookies and processed yogurt.

Alternative: A great substitute for this sweetener is to use Stevia. Stevia can be used in foods such as fruits, salads, vegetables and even used to replace sugar when cooking. It can also be used in teas to make it taste sweeter. A great benefit to stevia is that it allows you to control your food cravings, which is obviously important to achieving your weight loss goals!

Deceptive Food Ingredient #2: Sugar Alcohols

Sugar alcohols are a common substitute for sugars. It actually has fewer calories than regular sugar. However, if taken in excess, sugar alcohols can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea and immune infections.

This is why it is very important to become familiarized with reading food labels and understanding how each ingredient can affect you. While the above ingredients are not extremely harmful if consumed in the right moderate dosages, understanding how these ingredients affect your body can help to speed up the process when it comes to making your fat extinct!
