The Food We Eat
Calories aside the actual food we eat plays an important role in how
we lose weight.
For example 100 grams of hard boiled candy will have a lot more fat
than say 100 grams of lettuce. Even though foods may be of equal
weight doesn’t mean that they will be equal in calories. So be aware
of any extra fats or calories hidden in foods. Always check your labels.
You don’t have to be a food Nazi and restrict yourself to the point
where you’re not enjoying what you eat. It’s important that you have
the occasional treat so that you are not feeling deprived. Remember
we’re aiming for permanent lifelong change by altering our lifestyle
eating choices. You have to treat yourself now and then to avoid any
derailing binges that come from feelings of deprivation.
Good Fat vs. Bad Fat
We touched upon this earlier in terms of the types of fats to avoid and
the kinds that we should be incorporating more into our daily diet.
