Scott Schwab:
Today our world has us continually make the decision between healthy and convenient. Seldom can we have both, but there are rare occasions that you can accomplish that.
Rather than fighting the battle, here are a couple of pointers that can help you win the battle and get the results we are all fighting for. This challenge I have had the opportunity of getting back to the root of what most of us struggle with; which is the food portion of our diet.
#1 Plan ahead and make a meal that you know what is in the food. Often times saturated fats are not listed based on hydrogenous oils, sugars, and fillers, preservatives, and just plain old fats. When we don't know exactly what is in our food, we are taking a risk. Is it worth it to eliminate a weeks amount of work or days work for a meal or snack?
#2 Check the label. I do not believe in living by labels but to check them for essentials is necessary. Find ways to get natural grains, wheat, and whole grains in your food. Avoid sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, coloring extracts, Hydrogenous oils, and aspartame.
#3 Get your calories through food and not through syrup. Yes the syrup that exists in the drinks that we have; diet or regular soda. Soda is a killer, literally if you can get off the stuff, I would definitely recommend it.
The main goal is to have a plan. With a plan we can avoid the urges and failures that come because we are so hungry we will eat anything in sight. Additionally, if we can cut down on the processed food war of eating out, we will do much better. Stick to your turkey, chicken, fish, brown rice, and whole grains for best results.
