Everyone knows that donuts, pastries, junk foods and fast foods are not good for the body. These unhealthy foods are making Americans obese and putting them at risk for heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol and even cancer. Remember the saying, “You are what you eat”, before indulging in these foods.
Weight loss can be achieved by removing the high calorie and high fat foods from your diet. Eat real food instead of eating fast food. Processed foods are loaded with artificial ingredients, saturated fat, trans fat and sugar that are not good for the body. By eliminating these fake foods from your diet you can easily lose weight.
Start today by eliminating a bag of chips or a sugary snack from you meal. This will reduce your caloric intake by 100 calories a day or more. Eating 100 calories less per day means that you are eating 700 calories less per week. By eating less calories, you will lose weight. Replacing those high calorie foods with fruits and vegetables and 100% whole grains aids in weight loss.
Exercise is a great way to burn calories while building strength and stamina. One hour of cardiovascular exercise can burn 400-600 calories or more depending on the intensity. The body releases feel good hormones; endorphins, that boost the body and the mind.
Start using these two simple steps to create the change you crave in your life.
