You can easily burn belly fat and get a lean body if you follow these ten healthy eating habits. They are very simple tips but may not be easy to do. Eating healthy foods will lessen your cravings for junk food. You will also achieve balance emotionally as you are not eating as much sugar or processed foods which can cause energy spikes and crashes draining you of vitality and energy.
Healthy eating habits will help you achieve flat sexy abs and the lean body you desire.
So the first phase of this wonderful and nutritious eating plan is to be clear about what you cannot eat, junk food has to go! It comes back to the basics of not eating ice-cream, chips, candy and white things. I mean white bread, white flour foods, white rice and pasta. No sugar either!
You must develop good eating habits with foods that contain healthy nutrients:
Eat a large raw salad every day. Not so hard, right? You can eat raw veggies, such as tomatoes, lettuce, shredded carrots, cabbage, raw broccoli, snow peas, beets, green beans.
Eat steamed green veggies every day. Vegetables such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, string beans, bok choy and asparagus.
Eat some beans daily, about ½ cup. Kidney, pinto, black or gabenzo beans.
Eat raw seeds and nuts daily. Use more seeds if you want a flat belly.
Eat fruit daily. At least 4 fresh fruits and eat more berries and cherries. If you are trying to lose weight stay away from bananas, pineapple, peaches the real sweet fruit.
Have some veggie juice freshly squeezed.
Try to cut down on meat. Don't eat it every day. And when you do eat it make sure it's organic and lean.
Watch your salt intake, when cooking do not add salt!
Watch your oil intake. You can use a little for cooking since you are cutting down on butter and dairy. Only 1 tablespoon daily, which includes your salad dressing as well.
No coffee or alcohol as these set up cravings. Use herbal or green tea.
It is a good idea to have 4-6 meals a day to keep blood sugar levels balanced but for a lot of people this is not realistic. It has been my experience that it can often set up a grazing pattern of non-stop eating! It's Ok if your meals are small and you are actually consuming less calories, no cheating here! As long as it's not a license to overeat and your calorie intake is within reason.
Just in case you are tempted eliminate all tempting foods. Get rid of it all from your house or car. No secret stashes. Remember only healthy foods! So if you do have a desperate attack you can only eat healthy foods because you do not have any candy stashes in the house or car, right?
If you need extra help join a support group (Overeaters Anonymous) especially if you cannot control your cravings. There are many and varied and can offer encouragement without judgment. The rewards are so worth it and the benefits of eating healthy foods are numerous.
