Dig Up Weight Gain Contributing Factors - Turn Into A Label Detective!

It's widely known that we are what we eat. But what's been a carefully tended secret by the food processing industry is that there are innumerable ingredients that go into processed food that are causing you to put on weight. Most of them are publicized and promoted to make you suspect that they will not only help you in losing weight but also they're healthier. NOTHING could be further from the truth .

First Step

The 1st step to losing weight or maintaining a good weight is to buy as few packed food stuffs as practicable. The less the food industry gets their hands on it, the better. As an example :

Boxed Cereal Alternative: Rolled Oats ( yesgood old porridge )
Microwave Vegetable Dishes Alternative : Go to the vegetable aisles and buy fresh ( or frozen)
Dinner Entrees ( Frozen or Micro ) Alternative : Steam vegetables and Roast Chicken

I know, I know. The boxed, micro or frozen are much easier and way faster to prepare. But what kind of time are we speaking here, fifteen -30 mins of your time for a lifetime of vivacity, energy and worry free health!

Each minute you spend preparing good delightful food for your body, is an investment in how your body will serve you in years ahead. It is that straightforward

2nd Step

Be a label investigator! When you're buying any food item, whether it is for a meal, a snack or a treat, READ THE LABEL. If you are unable to understand fifty percent or even more of the words, your body can't either. Unknown chemicals, preservatives, and synthetic colourings are all foreign substances as far as your body is worried. They may either raise your insulin, boost your appetite, give you cravings or usually just contribute to weight gain.

WHERE TO START...

Here are 2 items to begin with because learning how to read labels can be complex and overpowering when you start.

FATS

There are only a few really good fats / oils for healthy tissue and organs. The body needs oil / fat that it recognizes. All the processed fats today are foreign substances to your body's intelligence system. Olive oil and coconut oil are your absolute best sources.

Here are the ones to watch out for on labels. 100% NO!

Hydrogenated Oil Plant Oil Palm Kernel Oil Shortening Trans Trans acids Margarine Soybean Oil Corn Oil Cottonseed Oil

SWEETENERS

The same principal applies here as shown with fats. Your body does not recognize foreign substances. All fructose sweeteners will boost your appetite and cravings. All artificial sweeteners will raise insulin levels and contribute to weight gain. There isn't any win here. Here are the names to watch for on labels. 100% NO!

Aspartame Sucrose Sucralose Rice Syrup Nutra Sweet High Fructose Corn Syrup ( HFCS ) Saccarin

Healthy living starts with what you put in your mouth. Be a label investigator. Take care of your own health and the health of your folks and enjoy the unending advantages of your investment.
