So what should you eat?

We already have a decent idea of what’s healthy and what isn’t, but here are some simple tips I have found clears it up for most people:

  1. Stick to the outside of the grocery store and you’ll mainly be fine. All the good stuff is on the outside aisles where it needs to stay refrigerated. All the processed foods that led to our obesity crisis are on shelves in the middle of the store. Sugar is a natural preservative. The easiest way to keep something on the shelf longer is to load it up with sugar.
  2. If it has a food label, eat it sparingly. This doesn’t mean you need to avoid it completely, just reduce that amount of it you eat.
  3. Eat at restaurants and fast food places sparingly and make your own meals as much as possible. Don’t let the excuse of a busy schedule force you into the fast food trap. They don’t need to be super complicated recipes, and you’ll be surprised how quick and easy it is to make a delicious meal that’s far healthier than you’ll find outside of the house.

The original idea of the Food Pyramid was great, eat larger portions of healthy foods and smaller portions of those processed foods that you enjoy, but that aren’t good for your weight or your health. The majority of your plate should be filled with whole fruits and vegetables. Add a reasonable portion of lean meats on the side, mix in some healthy fats and let the smallest portion of your meal be those carbs that you loved so much but caused so many problems. You don’t need to totally give up what you enjoyed, just rebalance the proportions that were on your plate. When it comes right down to it, we already know what’s good and what isn’t for the most part, but if you have questions, feel free to email us here at support@lolofit.com.
