Smart nutritional choices + exercise = Losing weight and building six pack abs
Did you know that you can eat a lot and still lose weight? It sounds too good to be true, right? Here are some ways to make it happen.
Eat more fresh food! Choose fresh, nutrient-rich,
healthy, low-fat foods rather than junk food. Junk food can range from burgers to those cookies that you always bought! Adding a lot of vegetables and fruits
to your diet will help you, they keep you feeling full for longer than
processed food so you won't even feel the need to eat loads. Also,
drinking bouillon, a Haitian soup, made with filtered water will help you feel full.
Feed your temptations once in a while. Go ahead and have that doughnut or slice of pizza, but before you do, drink 8 glasses water and eat a bowl of raw veggies such as cucumbers, celery, carrots, and tomatoes. They will fill you up and you will have very little room to eat the "junk" food.
Consume things that have no calories. There are two things you eat and drink that contain no calories: water and fiber. The more of these you get into your diet, the better off you will be. For example, you can eat a pound of mixed salad greens with assorted raw vegetables
(carrots, red cabbage, celery, broccoli, onion, etc.) with a low or
no-calorie salad dressing and only have eaten 100-150 calories. This is
because of the high water and fiber content of the salad and low calorie
dressing. Also, eat lots of celery. It has only 8 calories, but
amazingly, it takes more than 8 calories to digest it. So, you actually
BURN calories by eating celery! It's not much, about 2 calories per 8
inch stalk, but it sure doesn't hurt.
Include foods which burn fat for you.
By choosing your foods carefully, you can drop the pounds without going
hungry. There are many foods out there that are proven to help you to
lose weight, foods such as chilli, green tea, berries and whole grain,
can do various things to help you to drop the pounds, by avoiding
insulin spikes and keeping your metabolic rate going.
Drink more water.
Often we mistake thirst for hunger which means we eat when it's not
necessary.
By keeping yourself well hydrated you'll feel hungry less as
well as getting a clearer complexion and shinier hair
.
Be creative and try new recipes. Find new recopies, and stop starving yourself with all that diets,
and eating all the time same food, which all at the and results with the
famous jojo effect.

Warnings
- Limit the following:
- Soda: the average soda is full of calories, sugar, and other chemicals.
- Too much bread/butter: A slice of bread with butter has around 170
calories (100 calories per medium sliced slice of bread and 70 calories
per 10g of butter).
- Large portions: You’ll end up eating much less and save a lot of money as a bonus!
- Dressing: Salad dressing is the main source of calories and other
things to avoid in salad, try vinegar or hummus as a low-cal dressing.
- Try to limit water consumption to 10 glasses per day. People can
drink far more water than necessary while exercising, however, putting
them at risk of water intoxication. (Water intoxication is incredibly
rare, and easy to avoid by making sure to consume electrolytes, even
just salt, along with the large amounts of water)
- You have to exercise and eat healthier, otherwise you may not notice any improvement and—even worse—you may gain weight.
- If you need to lose more than 10% of your body weight, consult with
your primary-care physician before beginning any weight loss plan.
