PROCESSED FOODS

TRY AND WEAN YOURSELVES OFF PROCESSED FOODS....IT WILL BE THE BEST PRESENT YOU WILL EVER GIVE YOURSELF - try and remember that processed foods have fat, sugar, and salt added to mask the metallic taste of chemical additives.I remember watching a documentary on the Coca Cola Company and they said why they put so much sugar in is to hide the salt....salt i said? Never associated Coke with salt!
Read labels wisely. You can find food with "real" ingredients in the supermarket if you read labels carefully. But shop the outside lanes as that's usually where the fresh food are located in a supermarket, or better yet shop the markets in your area and always eat fruit and vegetable in season.
Relish what's on your plate, making it a small plate,and don`t heap the food into a mountain. Devote time solely to enjoying the pleasures of eating,in other words stay in the moment.And did i say chew thoroughly...remember digestion starts in the mouth.
Wean yourself off excess salt, fat, and sugar.I ALWAYS TELL YOU TO PULL YOUR SWEET TOOTH ,let's not even talk about the salt which makes everything taste better,if you eat fresh fruit and vegetables or cook your own food you will never have the issue of adding too much salt if you use all the great herbs and spices, plus garlic and onion etc to season your food. Avocado is in season enjoy that healthy fat instead of pork fat and beef grizzle...........
Give your palate time to change. You'll gradually lose your taste for excessively sweet and salty foods......believe me you will lose the taste of condensed milk and 2spoons of sugar in your tea if u don`t put it in and just stick to it.
Go for high-quality foods. Look for products that contain the least amount of processed ingredients. I always tell you if you can't pronounce the ingredients,leave it alone...and always leave the white stuff, white sugar, white rice, white flour...white means it had to go through some form of process to get there.....what's wrong with good old brown rice?
Treat yourself well by not skipping meals. Try eating three meals a day at fairly regular times, with a mid -afternoon snack,or graze through the day, 5 small meals.... Remember if you starve yourself the body holds on to the fat as it doesn't know when it is getting another meal and your metabolism slows down, hence all these fat people telling you they don`t eat,they are telling you the truth and also when they do eat they eat lots of meat with gravy and rice and cake or ice-cream for dessert and don`t forget they had several slices of bread and bacon for breakfast.Look around you, it's very obvious at the food-court in a mall.......the fatter the person, the higher the plate is filled and the choices are always wrong.
Save yourself,stay in the stores, shopping never makes me hungry or makes me fat!
