Worry Free Eating Equals Plenty of Fat Loss

Quick Tips

What is “worry free” eating?  How can you lose fat with “worry free” eating?

How about I show what worry free eating is…

Fat loss avalanche.

 

This picture was taken my local grocery store here in tragically awesome Eau Claire, WI at the end of this past Summer.  Every vegetable was in full bloom, probably the best that it will taste until the warmer months return.  

You can take the safety off of your eating pistol if you’re eating what you see in this picture.  

Fat loss.  Fat loss is moving a bit more than you do right now (compound that daily/weekly/monthly) and eating quality food.  There are more serious forms of fat loss that will move the process along much quicker, but in it’s simplest form, you’ll shed pounds and strip some fat by doing the aforementioned.  

The picture represents the quality part of that fat loss equation.  Consume the hell out of those foods that you see in the picture.  Eat a rainbow of variety while you’re at it.  There is a vegetable or a plant in that picture for everyone, you just have to be willing to take the opportunity to grab it, put it in your cart, haul it home… Google a recipe to make it taste delicious.  Ideally, you’d Google that recipe before you head out for the shopping trip, but hey… whatever floats your boat.

Just to re-iterate… these are your action steps:

1)  Grab and bag.

2)  Haul and pay.

3)  Return home and prep.

4)  Cook and eat.

This really is another billion dollar idea that I should patent to help out with our current health crisis.  🙂

Worry free eating I tell you.  One less stress in life, it’s fantastic.

Join the movement, invest in yourself as you do your house, car and wardrobe.

 

Cheers to eating plants (sprinkled with some protein of course)…

Trickery & Timeless One Liners to Help Guide Your Lean Eating

Food/Eating

Anyone who has gotten into a discussion on eating with me knows that I don’t dive into the complicated micronutrients, label reading or hormonal changes that come about with eating different packaged foods.

Quite honestly, after you read so much material about fat loss and eating, you begin to see that everything is connected.  You start to read the same material worded a different way over and over again.  It get’s old, fast.

So, I have found that the best thing we can do for ourselves is STOP COMPLICATING what should be simple.  Eating nutrient dense food shouldn’t be hard.  The problem is that many of us were raised to believe that some of the food that was served at the dinner table was healthy.  There is nothing healthy about Hamburger Helper (Yes I ate it a lot too) or Macaroni and Cheese.

Our view of health food is skewed.  The food industry has done a masterful job at tricking us.

Words and phrases such as:

–  “Natural”

–  “Fat Free”

–  “Sugar Free”

–  “Low Calorie”

–  “Zero Calorie”

–  “Metabolism Boosting”

–  “Farm Fresh”
… are red flags in my world.

As much protein as an egg, and as much sugar as a candy bar.

I rarely walk down the center isles of the grocery store, but if I do, the first thing I notice is how clever the food companies are at tricking us.  It’s a scam all the way around.

So as I mentioned early on in this post, I often throw out a one liner to people who I talk to about nutrition and what they should be eating to see their abdominals once again.  Or, screw seeing your abdominals, some of us should be eating to prolong life and fight disease and a lifetime of hospital bills.  Because that is a reality also.

Here are just a few:

  • If your great grandparents wouldn’t recognize what you’re eating, you shouldn’t eat it.
  • If it has a mother or came from the earth, eat it.
  • Meat:  The less legs the better.
  • “If it’s a plant, eat it. If it was made in a plant, don’t.”  -Michael Pollan
  • “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”  -Michael Pollan

 

*  For the last bullet point, I always recommend adding protein to that recommendation.

I have seen at least 50 or more one liners like this floating around the internet regarding nutritious eating practices.  At first I thought they were gimmicky.  That was until I started throwing them out to people who were asking me if the new 100 calorie bags of popcorn were ok to eat for fat loss, or if Rockstar energy drinks could provide the daily recommended vitamin intake.

Personally I love the look that people give me when I toss out a good quote.  It’s almost as if they expected me to give them a magic bullet or a secret tip.  There are no secrets, remember?

Here is a reminder of that… 

“Well is that how you eat?”, they ask me.

“Yes”, I reply.

Don’t complicate eating.  You have enough stress in your life.  The food you’re jamming down your pie hole doesn’t need to be one of those stresses. Buy some good quality extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and get cooking.  Enjoy the experience.
