I really feel a bit down at the moment because I haven't been able to gym or do basically any physical exercise (if walking to the fridge and back to bed isn't counted) this past week, but I have to let my body recover properly. So, instead of writing about exercising, why not write about what to eat and what not to? As we all know, fat is accumulated in our bodies through stress, genes, lack of sleep, excess calories and hormonal changes and the consumption of carbohydrates (mainly pasta, rice or potato), protein rich foods and fat rich foods not only increases the fat in our bodies, but is also bad for our organs. For me, eating less potato, rice and pasta allowed me to feel less bloated and I saw results really quickly after starting, so I recommend you to try as well. Or at least changing to wholemeal products rather than eg. white rice.
So here are the DON'TS; foods that we think are healthy, but in reality aren't...
1. "Low-cal" frozen dinners
2. Frozen yogurt
3. Energy/Granola bars
4. Fat free products
5. Whole grain bread
6. Trail mixes
7. "Health" drinks e.g. Vitamin water
8. Store bought muffins
9. Pre-made smoothies
10. Prepared salads
And here are the DO'S; foods that are good for your body (and increase fat burning!)...
1. Fruits - orange, lemon, kiwi, tangerine, fresh lime, apple, watermelon, pineapple, grapes, strawberries
2. Vegetables - cabbage, tomatoes, spinach, beans, avocado
3. Pulses
4. Oats - buy the non-flavoured ones that don't contain sugar or added preservatives
5. Almonds and walnuts
6. Eggs
7. Fish
8. Water
9. Whey proteins
