Journey Towards Weight Loss by ushealthjournal: 9:05am On Mar 13, 2017
It is a well-known fact that the right diet holds the utmost importance when it comes to weight loss. Exercise alone won’t lead you to your goals. However, exercise coupled with the right nutritious diet will serve to be your best friend in accomplishing your weight loss goals.

Be effective

The right diet should consist of nutritious food that is filled with calories, with each one entering the body to serve a purpose. Experts claim that a diet makes up for almost 80% of the role in weight loss. In order to lose weight, foods that are high in fiber, minerals, and proteins should be consumed instead of processed foods that are rich in calories, fat and sugar. The misconception surrounding ‘fatty foods’ like burgers and pizza is that they should be avoided at all costs. However, as mentioned, these are merely misconceptions. Indulging in a treat every now and then will not prove to be harmful. In fact, your body needs it.

Another misconception about foods you should avoid is foods filled with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates serve as the power sources of our body, and ridding it of its powerhouse is in no way beneficial.

Getting started with a healthy breakfast

Nothing could get better than a combination of mashed potatoes and a boiled egg for breakfast. While the egg is full of protein and purposeful carbs, the potatoes provide the supply of numerous beneficial nutrients. They are rich in potassium, for starters, which is not only helpful for losing weight, but it also keeps the blood pressure steady.

Time to eat your fruits and veggies

Increased frequency of consumption of fruits and vegetables is necessary for weight loss by experts. Why this is so is because, for starters, fruits and vegetables are packed with fiber, which helps control hunger. Secondly, fruits and vegetables predominantly consist of water. Their consistency of water shows to be helpful in the fact that you fill your hunger without the consumption of solid food.

A sister to fruits, vegetables are said to be of great use too. Green vegetables like kale and spinach are protein packed. Protein filled foods are great if you’re looking to lose weight because upon entering the body, they cause a thermic effect. A thermic effect is when calories are lost upon digestion and ingestion of the food. It is like hitting two birds with one stone.

Apart from spinach and kale, other fruits that are protein packed include salmon, chicken, and tuna.

In your journey towards weight loss you can use this amazing weight loss supplement named CLA Safflower Oil.
