When you are eating nutritiously, it is important for your carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to be in balance so you will have a high metabolic rate and increase your fat burning.

The fad diet of the day may seem to be new and fun, like the “Hollywood Diet”. If you want to lose weight and stay healthy then eat food that is full of vitamins and minerals and that will give your body what it needs.

These are the Types of Foods to Eat and the Types of Foods to Avoid

Complex Carbohydrates like pasta, whole grains, breads and cereals are needed to maintain a high energy level during the day.

Keep soda pop, candy and processed baked goods and other simple carbohydrates to a minimum.

These foods have little or no nutritional value and will become extra fat if you do not control your consumption.

If you are eating too many low carb foods you can forget about “how to lose weight fast”. Our blood sugar levels and our insulin are interconnected. Our blood sugar level is regulated by our insulin and it will store excess sugar as body fat. If our blood sugar is too elevated we will find that we are really tired and hungry and then we repeat this cycle again and again.

You will prevent this problem if you consume complex carbohydrates in sensible amounts. If you consume foods that are high in proteins you will maintain the cell structures of your body and build lean muscle, like soy products, beans, lean meats, poultry and fish.

These high protein foods are needed to burn fat, but here is a caution, do not eat too much protein because if you consume protein in excess of what your body needs the extra protein will be stored as fat and your kidneys and liver could become unhealthy. If you protein consumption is a reasonable amount you should be ok.

If you are planning the amount of protein you will consume then have about 0.5 grams of protein for each pound of your body weight. This amount will aid in the growth of your lean muscle

Protein Sources

Animal and plants are the 2 sources of protein. Most of our protein comes from animal sources in the United States. A diet that is too high in protein can increase your risk of disease, recent data suggests.

There is very little fiber in animal protein and because of this you will still be hungry if you compare eating animal protein to eating protein from plant sources.

An excess of animal protein can prevent you from burning fat.

Try and get most of your protein from plant sources, such as soy, beans, legumes and less from animal sources.

It is important to consume fats like those fats in nuts, oils and protein. Fats will help maintain the regeneration of your nails, skin and hair.

There are many people that are on either very low or very high fad diets.

The most important idea to remember is to not go to extremes but do include in your diet lean protein and also small amounts of nuts, seeds and oils.

Your Portion Sizes

Have portion sizes that are about the size of the palm of your hand in place of counting calories to determine the quantity of food you need to consume. Then have a balance of two vegetable and complex carbohydrate portions and 1 portion of protein at each meal.

Green vegetables give you additional fiber and enzymes that will assist in your digestion and are also low in calories so eat ample portions of these foods, it will be good for you.

To prolong good health and get your essential vitamins and minerals eat plenty of green vegetables. Remember to consume foods high in nutrition. As a result you will burn extra fat and lose weight faster.

How many meals per Day

To burn the most extra fat how many times should we eat per day.

If you have a flexible schedule then it is much better to eat many times a day and in smaller portions. When you eat many small meals a day it will raise your metabolism every time you eat. If possible eat 5 or 6 small meals a day with a lapse of about 3 hours between eating.

It may be hard to break the 3 meal a day habit. If it is too difficult to change from eating 3 meals a day then eat the 3 meals a day, but eat lesser amounts for each meal and add two or 3 more eating times during the day and have a fruit, granola bar or some other healthy snack.

The key is to focus on foods that your body requires, if you do this you will be full for a longer period of time.
