If your goal is losing stubborn weight that has been hanging on and not going away then you will want to consider making some simple changes to the foods you choose and the time of day that you eat different foods.
This is a way of working with your body and it's energy needs so it can more efficiently handle body fat.
If you would like to learn more about how this can work for you then take just 2 minutes and read on.
Losing Stubborn Weight 1.
Avoid refined carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are good energy foods but if your food choice is a refined carb (i.
e.
a chocolate chip cookie) then you are setting up an internal environment in your body that favors fat storage and prevents fat burning.
The reason is because refined carbs dump a ton of sugar into your blood which the body does not like so you increase your ability to make fat to push the sugar into fat storage.
2.
Eat protein all day long.
Every meal and even your snacks should include protein if you want to lose weight.
There are too many benefits to list but one that is important to weight loss is that it stimulates the release of a hormone called glucagon and this hormone counters the fat making effects of carbohydrates.
3.
Eat fruits with Vitamin C (oranges, lemons, grapefruit) or pectin (apples, berries).
These foods help your body handle fat better.
Vitamin C helps break down fat and get it out of storage easier and pectin has properties that limit the amount of fat a cell can store.
4.
Shift the time of day you eat any carbohydrate.
As I stated earlier carbohydrates are good energy foods but what happens to carbs that you eat when your energy requirements are low? The answer is they get converted to stored energy which of course is FAT.
Eat carbs during the day when energy needs are high and avoid them at night when your body does not need as much energy.
Losing stubborn weight is easier when you make some simple changes in your food choices and timing.
