Whose The Judge Of Your Life?
You need to find which diet
specifically works for you and for most people and this is the real
kicker of the Blog it's not really dieting at all you don't have to
follow some stringent protocol, just chose Mediterranean Diet Or Banana Calories Brat Diet and activate.
Hey guys this is Yogi and welcome to my
Blog @ Yogikongsai.com and in this set ion,I will mention some of
my favorite healthy food swaps, when starting a healthy life I know
that it can be overwhelming.
which diets are going to work for you
and the answer to that is a little bit more complicated than you
might think, most diets are going to work for people and what I mean
by that is that.
Most diets aren't going to work for you
but there is a diet out there that is perfect for you and the proof
of that is in the stories, you've heard of a thousand people who have
lost weight on diet plan.
And kept it off, probably heard more
people, who haven't kept it off there's definitely people have found
success, then you got the exact opposite of meat diets and that is
vegetarianism.
Or even being a vegan and you've heard
of plenty of people, who have done that you've probably heard of
people, who have lost a bunch of weight on paleo and you've probably
also heard a bunch people who have lost weight by just eating
Twinkies and protein shakes.
That's an actual diet go ahead and
look it up, Twinkie and protein shake diet and the point is there's a
thousand of them out there all of them have their success stories.
Where you're kicking out an entire
food group, or you're kicking out foods that you love, you know
pizza, ice cream, donuts whatever it is and a lot of people when they
are trying to just eat salad and apples they will eventually fail
because of the suffering.
There's going to be more on this in
future blogs it's kind of outside of the scope of this Blog, but
which diets work, to simply put it all of them work we need to find
which one works for you and the main thing is is to take out the
suffering.
So if a person loves meat, if they
just love eating nothing but steak and you know some vegetables and
more steak and some pork on top of that, then that diets going to
work really well for them.
Because they're going to be able to
stick to it and that's the key, if you had plenty of friends that
don't even like meat at all, I eat chicken just to get my protein, I
teach them how to get protein without chicken and they end up being a
vegetarian.
They love it and they can stick to it
and that's where their success was found not because being a
vegetarian is necessarily better for weight loss and you're going to
hear different opinions.
But in my experience being a
vegetarian isn't better for weight loss than being on Atkins I'm not
a big supporter of Atkins at all, but people who love it have found a
lot of success.
So why not embrace that and take that a
little bit further and go ahead and use that for your success, so to
put it simply all diets work we have to find which one works for you.
The main thing is to take the
suffering out of it, specifically for women though I found a common
problem comes up with almost every single one of my female Friends
that I've ever worked with.
The problem is the protein intake and
struggling to get enough protein and it tends - from what I've seen,
women tend to just not like to eat chicken breast or pork steaks as
much as men do and so they tend to struggle to get to their protein.
There is definitely a ways around
that, again I'll be reviewing a lot of Blogs on how to get more
protein in the future, but just to summarize it real quick.
Chicken breasts I know it's not that
exciting, but get a bunch of different spices, find a local spice
shop not just something like your local grocery store, but find an
actual spice shop that specializes in that.
You can have different tasting
chicken every single day of the week, so chicken breast, tuna really
any kind of fish and then making sure that protein is in everything
else that you're eating.
So if you're eating carbs and you're
eating rice, you're not going to be getting protein but if you swap
that out for beans you're going to get pretty much just as many carbs
but more protein.
That's going to go with it, it's more
of a nutrient-dense food than Rice is and so that's just a small tip
that can help you there as well, but getting your protein is one of
the most important things for weight loss.
So at this point you might be thinking
he didn't really answer my question - what diets work and the truth
is all of them work we have to find what specifically is designed for
you.
What works best for you? and that
means that you're happy and there's no suffering, so you can either
try different diets until you really find one that's this one is
going to work.
I'm enjoying this and I'm loving this
or you can stick with me read more of my Blogs coming up in the
future and I'm going to be teaching you how to take the suffering
out of dieting.
How to take the suffering and
the unhappiness out of working out, because if I can get you enjoying
about it, everything in this world that you enjoy you never quit or
at least you never want to take that off your plane.
So if I can get you enjoying the diet
and enjoying the working out and to the point where you don't even
feel like you are dieting anymore you are eating what you want just a
little more carefully.
I'm thinking about a little more now,
you can feel like you are dieting that's whenever you win when you
don't even feel like you're trying, it might take some time it's
still going to take patience, but you're not going to feel like
you're suffering.
Days aren't going to feel like weeks
and weeks aren't going to feel like months, so stick with me learn a
little bit more about how to take a suffering out of it and in the
meantime if you are a dieter try swapping it up to something that you
think you'll really enjoy.
Because there is so much information
online and this is what overwhelmed me and so I had to step back and
say okay, how can I make small steps? how I can make healthy life
sustainable? and what helped me?
I had to make very small changes in
my everyday life and these are the ones that I'm going to share with
you today. so my very first swamp was replacing refined sugar with
natural sugars, so this is one of the relatively easy ones
Natural sugar
So just find the refined sugar that
you have in your cupboards and throw it away, yes exactly just throw
it away or you can actually use it for body scrub it's up to you but
that's what I did identified all the product.
That's how do you find sugar or the
sugar itself, I just removed them from my kitchen and I replaced them
with natural sugars, I replace them with honey ,with agave syrup,
with maple syrup, with coconut sugar.
Things started being much easier
because then all I had to do is to choose from those ingredients, the
other foods I hope that you can do is replacing your white grains
with whole grains.
Brown rice, whole-grain bread
So I just replaces my white rice with
brown rice, white bread with whole-grain bread and that made a lot of
difference in my everyday life and it seems such a small thing, but
it's huge for your diet and its huge for your lifestyle.
what was also a savior for me is to
replace all my sweet snacks with nutty snacks or with sugar free
snacks, so for example I used to eat a lot of chocolate in the
afternoon around three four o'clock.
Nuts
Which I had them replaced with a lot
of nuts, which have really good fats and kept me going for the rest
of the day. What I also tried was to find refined sugar-free
chocolate and it used to be a bit difficult.
Refined Sugar-Free Chocolate
When I started there weren't much availability in the health stores, but now it's booming so today
it's much easier to find energy bars that are sugar-free, or you can
also make them yourselves.
Green tea
The health food swap that I've done
it's more about drink swamp aura, basically I used to drink four cups
of coffee every day and slowly I said what is the different thing
that I can do, I know that coffee is not the best drink that I can
have in such a great amount and I decided to start drinking green
tea.
Green tea was good but, it just left a
little bit of bitterness in my mouth, so when I was discussing with
my trainer and I got recommend for something amazing and so the next
time when I went to Greece I was buying more natural ingredients.
I just started buying Greek Mountain
tea which is an incredible tea replacement that's what I drink almost
every day and also camomile, so these were the two swaps that I've
done and then because I started liking what I was drinking.
Greek Mountain tea is so delicious
honestly, so then I decided to swap my morning coffees as well and
now I rarely drink coffee, I don't advocate not drinking coffee not
at all.
If this is something that you like you
can I still drink once a week, but it's just make easier, not to have
as much coffee as I used to.
Cereals With Oatmeal
One of the very interesting swaps that
I did was, swapping my cereals with oatmeal and if you knew exactly
what I'm talking about and it's the very first time you try oatmeal,
especially if you don't know how to eat it, it's not the most
pleasant meal that you can have.
As I got to know it and as I was
trying to push myself and to enjoy it I realized that actually I can
have it with a little bit of honey, with cinnamon, with apple, with
berries and it just became one of my favorite breakfast.
So do that swap, your cereals with
oatmeal just add a little bit of color in it by adding fruits and
natural sweeteners
Dairy Milk With Plant-Based Milk
The last swap for today that I'll
share with you is swapping dairy milk with a plant-based milk, again
it's not that I'm advocating not to drink milk it's just dairy milk
has a lot of hormones nowadays.
It's very difficult to find a really
good quality dairy milk, so be more open-minded and just introduce
more flavors in your life and adding plant-based milks, such as
oatmeal almond milk, coconut milk, hazelnut milk.
There is just more flavoring they just
add something different to your everyday life, so for example when I
do drink coffee I usually add oat milk in it because, I discovered
that I the combination of coffee and oat milk.
When I eat my oatmeal it's usually
with coconut milk or with almond milk, I just find it delicious.
Conclusion
Things like that a little bit of swaps
like that is what I recommend for a more sustainable healthy life,
you don't have to change everything at once just very small swaps
that makes the difference.
