Revamping one's eating habits can be very difficult to work on especially if a person can hardly bid farewell to the best-tasting meals he's ever had. Many back-out from weight loss talks when the discussion touches on completely overhauling their meals. Nutrition recommendation can spell out doom for the sweet-toothed, but your Washington, DC personal trainer shows you a list of 10 great-tasting foods that can keep the fat off and keep you fit.
1. Grass-Fed Beef. There are always exceptions to the rule. While most fitness trainers emphasize that beef should be avoided to due to its high saturated fat content, I will lure you into it. Beef kinds come in different shapes and sizes and the best thing about it is that grass-fed beef is good for the health!
I am sure that I now have your attention so, let us look at the reasons that make this kind of beef healthy for consumption. Your personal trainer at Washington DC says that since this grass fed beef is full omega-3 fatty acids, proteins and fat burning CLA, it is safe and healthy for consumption. This beef also has relatively very low levels of saturated fat in it.
We all know that Cows generally feed on grass but in order to increase their market value, they are forcefully fed corn and soy. This has made them easily prone to bacterial infections and they are ultimately treated with antibiotics regularly. This forceful feeding has also lead to accumulation of fat in their meat. With a view to make cows fatter in less time, we humans have made them less healthy for consumption.
Authentic grass-fed beef can be bought from reliable stalls at a farmers market.
2. Turkey bacon. Many of us have false notions that all kinds of bacon are unhealthy. This is absolutely not true. Your personal trainer at Washington DC believes that turkey bacon is best food for all those health conscious people. Though it may not be as good as bacon itself, it is sure to leave you wanting more. Bacon is rich in protein as well as low in calories and tastes great with fresh veggies.
3. Shrimp. Lets give our menu some variation --- lets talk seafood! Shrimps lean meat are packed with Vitamin D (for stronger bones), B12 (for energy) and selenium (an anti-oxidant), and are impressively low in calories and fat! Weight watchers and heart patients alike will love shrimps! Cook these seafarers in two minutes or less and you're ready for a healthy eating.
4. Farm-fresh eggs. Just like beef, all types of eggs aren't the same. Farm eggs are quite different from the usual eggs that are available in the market. These eggs differ both in color and nutritional values. Farm eggs are low in cholesterol and fat content and are packed with omega-3, vitamin A and vitamin E. They come from grass-fed chickens and are easily available at a farmers market.
5. Berries. Berries are like little treats that come in fun shapes and colors. They are very good for your health not only because they are low in calories and even low in sugar but also because they are a great source of vitamin C, potassium, flavonoids, phytochemicals, folate and some calcium.
6. Cauliflower. This vegetable is rich in glucosinolate and thiocyanate that is helpful in neutralizing the effects of toxins on the liver. This also controls bad cholesterol levels in the body because it contains indole-3-carbinol a phytonutrient that reduces the secretion of LDL carrier that transports bad cholesterol to our tissues.
7. Spinach. This healthy green leafy vegetable is a rich source of beta carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, lutein, iron and magnesium and is also popular as an anti cancer agent. Lutein is good for eyesight and magnesium helps lower blood pressure. This fat free low calorie vegetable is recommended by your personal fitness trainer at Washington, DC.
8. Metabolic Drive. Metabolic Drive is a protein powder to be mixed with water or skim milk to make a protein shake. These shakes are a great source of protein and they provide you with a lot of energy. They taste so good that you won't even realize that you are drinking a health drink that is low in carbohydrates.
9 & 10. Tamari Almond and Sugar-free chocolate. Everybody deserves a healthy treat! Almonds may be too bland for most peoples liking, but not tamari almonds! These contain vitamin B3, manganese, protein and tryptophan (an essential in building serotonin--- a hormone that helps us sleep soundly and achieve a stable mood). Sugar-free chocolates completely redefine what chocolates should be--- cocoa-rich and less sugar-y! Cocoa beans are rich in anti-oxidants, flavonoids and good (essential) cholesterol.
Healthy, balanced meals must never scare anybody who wants to achieve the great benefits of a weight loss program. Your Washington, DC personal trainer can assure you that your journey to fat loss can always be tasty!
