I can’t think of any thing more disheartening than diet food plans that leave people feeling hungry, depressed and deprived.  As if it is not hard enough to change your lifestyle to lose fat, you have to feel unhappy while doing it too?  Not where I come from!  What do you really need to do to diet and keep weight off?  Here’s some tips to help you with a healthy food menu without feeling hungry:

Start Off With Good Taste – Yum!

It does not really matter to me that an algae smoothie may be great for my body; if it tastes like the wrong end of a horse, I am not going to eat it more than once.  We are designed, by nature, to seek out foods that taste good , and if the diet plan we are on at the moment provides us with low fat cardboard, we are not going to be able to maintain the effort.  It just doesn’t work.  Why not enjoy life and our food while being healthy and thin?

Base any diet food plan or healthy food menu on real foods, foods that you enjoy and provide you with good, wholesome nutrition.  That is a sustainable plan.

It Continues with Nutritional Recipes

For your body to be satiated with what you feed it, especially if you are cutting calories to lose fat, it has to receive all the nutrients it needs.  If you deprive it of essentials such as carbohydrates, fats or proteins, or any of a number of critical micronutrients, you are going to hear about it.  That doesn’t mean your body will complain audibly, it means that you are going to start feeling tired, cranky and hungry.  Hungry people do not stick to food plans well.

You must consider that everyone has different metabolisms and they need to consider them when eating.  Someone who has a protein driven metabolism needs much more protein and fewer carbohydrates than someone with a carbohydrate based metabolism.   Even so, both individuals will need healthy sources of all nutrients to thrive.

Customize your Healthy Food Menu

Learn how to prepare a few new things.  A bowl of quinoa for breakfast with a bit of raw honey drizzled on top and a handful of blueberries is a great breakfast, no matter what your metabolic preference.  If you like red meat, plan to have a small steak for dinner.  If it is fish you love, splurge on a piece of Coho salmon and put it on a bed of organic greens with a side of brown jasmine rice.  Once you figure out what satisfies you best, you can adapt any diet plan to meet your needs emotionally as well as nutritionally.

Basics are Best for a Healthy Food Menu

In the end, the things that feed your body best are those that are as close to their natural state as possible.  That means buying organics, to the degree that you can.  Searching for raw milk products, grass fed meats, raw nuts, nut butters, and new types of whole grains to try out, all promote good health and will help you stick to your plan.

Investing in your nutrition is not only smart; it is the best way to lose unwanted pounds, especially losing tummy fat!  Diet food plans that don’t recognize this need, and do not try to incorporate healthful foods aren’t worth your time or money.  I hope you enjoyed this article – just an example of the valuable, helpful nutrition fitness training tips you will receive when you sign up for free daily fitness tips 🙂
