Top 10 Answers To Questions Regarding Diet Strategies

1.What does it mean by “eating clean”?

When you’re looking to have the best body possible, you need to fuel your body with nutritionally balanced meals and snacks throughout the day. Examples of nutritionally dense foods are lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; and fewer empty carbs. Making proper choices shouldn’t be that difficult, simplify your eating habits by sticking to the basics: staying hydrated by drinking more water and fewer artificially flavored drinks; eat more whole foods and fewer processed foods; and of course, eliminate fried foods and fast food’s and limit or eliminate your intake of sugars.

2.How do you get started in this kind of diet program?

First  you need to realize which is your favorite food that you like but not the healthiest then you want to cut it in half for the first week so for example if you’re eating 2 slices of pizza two times a week then have only one slice of pizza at each of those 2 meals. Fill the gap with something like a salad or piece of fruit. The following week, cut your pizza intake in half again by having a single slice just once that week. Then repeat the process with the next worst food you’re eating. After a few weeks you will notice that you have cleaned up your diet accordingly.

3.What foods can help reduce my cravings?

By consuming foods that contain both fiber and a little fat can help expand your stomach and help you feel full. Fiber and fat help slow down digestion and prolong the feeling of s satiety. Nuts are a good choice because they contain both fiber and fat. Word to the wise watch your portions.

4.How come I always feel hungry and never satisfied?

Often times cravings could be more emotional than physical. Inactivity can also be a factor for example watching television late at night can be associated with taking trips to the refrigerator. These foods more often than not are sugary carbohydrate items and rather than satisfy you they can make you hungrier. According to the American heart Association, cravings may be prompted by eating simple carbs. That’s because these foods cause an insulin spike that leads to low blood sugar and stimulates hunger . When you think you’re hungry and you’re searching for a snack try drinking 16 ounces of water.

I don’t really drink alcohol very often but when I do I usually drink a glass of red wine. Red wine contains healthful antioxidants and it’s usually one glass.

These days every grocery store has a low sodium item section to choose from. The FDA terms low-sodium to be 140 mg or less per serving (make sure you check how many servings there are).
