I can workout everyday and still feel fat if I'm eating salty and fatty foods.
I have learned after lots of trial and error what foods work best for my body type.
I have tried the blood type diet, the zone, the lemonade cleanse, no carb diet, spirulina fasts and multiple fad diets. The thing that I learned was you don't have to diet at all. It's a way of eating that ultimately changes your body & health.
I try to eat clean & fresh food.
What I mean by clean is, I don't load on extra condiments like: mayonnaise, ketchup, soy sauce, barbecue sauce, salad dressings etc. there are tons of calories hidden in these dressings. I love flavor but instead I use avocado, balsamic vinegar, Bragg's, hot sauce, pepper and spices. You can have amazing flavor, just be cautious about what you are putting on your food.
What I mean by fresh is simple eat food that comes from the earth. Go organic too!
This is what an average day looks like for me:
Breakfast:
water
coffee w/soy milk & a little sugar
oatmeal w/ a spoonful of peanut butter, some banana or berries & granola sprinkled on top.
water
snack:
hard boiled egg or fruit or nuts or whole grain crackers
water
Lunch:
Sandwich, whole wheat bread, low sodium turkey, steamed broccoli, avocado, sprouts, soy cheese
flax seed chips or veggies
water
snack:
nuts or turkey or power bar
Dinner:
Turkey burger, brown rice, steamed veggies
water
If I want to drink then I'll have a gin & tonic or chardonnay
popcorn, air popped (no salt or butter)
