What kind of food - is your favorite?
Ask yourself whether your tastes changed over time?
As a rule, we get used to the taste of the food we eat constantly. That is why our mother cooked meals for us are the most delicious.
Do you think that most Asians like rice, Italians - pasta, and the British are partial to bread and potatoes - a mere coincidence?
Do you realize that if you were born in another country, you would have a different set of favorite products?
Free yourself from the bondage in relation to their taste preferences

Free yourself from the bondage in relation to their taste preferences
Every woman wants to be slim and attractive. But not all are successful. Hateful pounds recruited during the cold and did not want to leave the onset of heat, so when I want to wear tight pants or open dress. Rigid diets help only for a short time, and then returns back the extra weight! This problem can be overcome, if you eat tasty, wholesome and low-calorie food. Skinny cooking recipes you will find in the pages of this book.
Why do we need to eat?
It is obvious that in order to survive. But look at the problem deeper. On the one hand, we need food to recover the millions of cells that die every day, the other - to provide energy to sustain life. Just as a car fuel and maintenance necessary to take you from point A to point B, and your body needs fuel to go through life.
Amazing natural tool
We tend to think of hunger as evil. Look at it differently! We used to believe that get pleasure from food because of its use or taste, forgetting about hunger. In fact, the pleasure of eating is to quench hunger. That's why when we're sitting in the restaurant for the dinner table, the waiter tells us "bon appetit." The restaurant staff knows that without your appetite all of their work is meaningless: you can not enjoy the food.
Eat another drink!
Eat a lot and you'll soon get tired of it or even sick. But if you're hungry, even a rat can become a delicacy.
While you're starving, let's separate the wheat from the chaff. We often meet people who blame the metabolism. You may be familiar with these words: "I eat like a bird, but I continue to gain weight." Try telling that to Bob Geldof or other famous figures in the humanitarian field! All reports of the thousands of hungry people in disadvantaged regions of the world prove the groundlessness of such statements.
Starving people never overweight, regardless of their metabolic or genetic predisposition. Only one cause of obesity: an unhealthy diet!
The sophistication of hunger
Hunger is not just a signal that tells us that we need food. Wild animals need different types of food depending on what nutrients they lack. Culinary whims of pregnant women - the result of what they need additional nutrients for the development of future children.
The beauty of hunger
Between meals, supply of energy and nutrients is gradually reduced.Satisfy your hunger with the help of the right products, most of the time you will not even notice this process. When you feel hungry, then you can feel the pleasure of its quencher. You can enjoy this process several times a day for the rest of your life, getting a lot of energy and without fear of excess weight. But it will be available to you only if you eat correctly.
Wild animals eat only when they are hungry
Compare the behavior of the human animal. Hardly depriving us from breast parents imposed on us eating habits: "You will not leave the table until all doesh not." Already at this tender age we are programmed to overeating. Our eating habits are formed in the future at the school, which we visit at work, where we go every day, partner, whom we choose and so on.
How much do you want to weigh?
It's just been so long, so you can admire her reflection in the mirror.
When you see someone in a bathing suit if you need to know its weight in order to understand whether it is redundant? If you are overweight, then you follow the voice of man, but not the voice of nature. There are no wild animals measurement systems - at least, not to weigh yourself.
Should I give up the calculations?
No! Intrigue "trap" is that the weight is increasing gradually, so that it is almost imperceptible. The same goes for weight loss - we do not look slimmer than the day before. This can be frustrating, so make a note of your weight right now and ask someone to take pictures of you in a bathing suit. Weigh yourself regularly - I suggest doing it once a week. Secure your progress. Written in black and white figures will convince you that the "Easy Way" works, and it will inspire you to continue to adhere to its principles.
The second of two common misconceptions
The first is that obesity is caused by overeating, whereas in fact it is caused by malnutrition. In other words, it is caused by the consumption of junk food that does not contain enough nutrients and energy that makes us eat more and more. The second misconception is that the surrogate food - the most delicious.
But I want to say that if you drop all the conventions and prejudices, you will see that a useful and nutritious food also has a taste, furthermore, the delicious taste! Remember that wild animals eat what they like. And while they are not overweight.
If you do not mistakenly put sugar in your tea to someone, and the person in full reverie took a sip, his face writhed in a grimace, as if you threw arsenic.
The fact that our taste preferences sufficiently flexible. Just as we persist in his youth that we supposedly enjoy the taste of cigarettes or alcohol, we also imposed a prejudice that the surrogate food - delicious. But fortunately, this phenomenon has the opposite effect. You can get used to the taste of the food that will make you slim and healthy for life.
Do you feel cheated?
I asked you to abandon preconceptions about how much you would like to weigh alleged. I'm also going to get you to part with your prejudices about what is alleged to have your favorite meal.
Perhaps you feel that I have destroyed the traditional boundaries. I said that you can eat as much as you want, as often as you want and weigh as much as you want.
You really can do it!
Remember, I also ask you to open your mind.
The hardest thing I ask you to do: abandon prejudices acquired during life. From birth, we get a lot of information about food and eating habits, and most of them - are wrong. Sometimes prejudices come from people driven by the best of intentions - for example, from our parents and professionals in the field of health.Sometimes prejudice exploited for profit, such as powerful corporations in the food industry.
You need to use your mind and imagination
The award will be amazing. You will learn that the real food is much tastier. The pleasure of food will be much more once you become eat food that will make you fit and healthy. Food that will satisfy your hunger and will not threaten obesity and other diseases related to malnutrition. You will enjoy every meal with a clear conscience.
You take care of your body as a Rolls Royce or as kitchen bin?
You will fill the tank of his car with diesel fuel or pour dirty oil in the engine? Of course not! Otherwise the engine will not serve long. So why do we see in our wonderful vehicle, the size and quality of which depends on our life as a kitchen trash can? We throw there different surrogates, blindly believing that our body is all recycled.
But I'm still alive!
This is true - but it is not because of you. This is because your body - wonderful mechanism. You can ingest harmful substances, blithely assuming that they are not so harmful, and your body will endure. But it will not stand, if you do it every day! Do not forget that you read this book, precisely because now your body has a hard time.
If you could look inside your body and see all the problems that you have created an unhealthy diet, you would not even need to have read this book.
Alimentary system
The purpose of the digestive system - to extract energy and nutrients from food and get rid of the decay products with a minimum of energy.
One of the incredible facts - that the process of digestion is done unconsciously, and along with many other vital functions. Digestion uses a lot more energy than many other body functions. That is why we feel sleepy after a hearty meal. Some products, such as meat, require more energy to digest than they deliver to the body.
Syndrome "plastic bucket"
Most of the cars ride on a mixture of fuel vapor and air. Fuel distilled from crude oil. It is made of plastic and.But if you're running out of fuel, whether you cut into pieces plastic bucket, throwing the pieces into the fuel tank and wait for the engine starts?This is the same thing we do when we eat low in nutritional value products (ie, surrogates).
For strong bones and teeth, drink milk!
Here we have a typical myth "plastic bucket."
We need calcium for strong bones and teeth. Milk and dairy products contain calcium. But as cows get it? Elephants - giant teeth in the form of huge tusks and bones. But no elephants or cows do not drink milk.
Not counting our pets, we - the only representatives of the species who drink the milk of other animals.
For large, strong muscles eat meat
We need proteins to survive, so we eat cows. It sounds logical, but the digestive system works differently. Where cows are fed a protein? The largest and most powerful animals on earth - such as elephants, hippos and horses - do not eat meat. Their body gets the necessary protein from foods consumed.
We also need to iron. But if you want to eat iron filings?
Does this mean that we have to eat grass?
No! Cows eat grass because their digestive system is designed so to extract the nutrition they need from this particular product. Nature has provided every kind of specialized food set, which provides it with the necessary nutrients and energy and the corresponding digestive system.
People - just another species. Like all other types, you eat your favorite food if it is available.
What is a surrogate food?
Forget about the usual definition of a surrogate and how it could identify a nutrition specialist. under the "Simple Way" surrogates are not part of a set of food, especially suitable for our kind.
But how do we know what this set, and that we need to eat?
How can we find out what is useful and what is harmful?
Fortunately, we have compelling evidence. Let's go back to the prejudices.
Is there enough meat in the diet of your family?
When I was a kid, all mothers were afraid of this issue, as divine retribution. Then red meat, butter and heavy cream were considered the most healthy foods. Experts now believe that these products - almost a recipe for disaster. But they can not escape from nowhere "meat and milk" mindset instead to confirm totally different set of products they recommend you to pieces of meat, chicken or low-fat dairy products. I think it's suspicious. It's like you would say - "Reduce arsenic" or "Switch to strychnine, it is less toxic."
We have already debunked the myth that you need to eat meat for protein. But the biggest, strong and vigorous animals - all herbivores.
But who - the king of beasts?
Leo about as strong as an elephant. But if you think that the lion radiates energy, keep in mind that he sleeps twenty hours a day. Orangutan, who does not eat meat - only six. Besides, the lion gets its energy not from meat.
Predators do not eat predators
Lions kill leopards and cheetahs, but never eat them. Once the victim is killed, the first thing a leader lion pride - reveals the stomach and eats its contents. So lion owes its protein reserve vegetation to feed on herbivores. After the contents of the stomach lion eats such rich moisture organs like the heart, liver, kidney, brain, intestine. Muscle tissue - in the last instance. Therefore, scavengers such as hyenas and vultures, get only the muscles.
Look at the facts
Note cooking - exclusive prerogative of man. Try to eat raw meat! Predators have canines and incisors that cut and grind, and long, sharp claws that rend flesh. Human beings do not have these tools and eat meat only in the cooked form. And even as they find it difficult to digest.
predators stomach acid concentration ten times higher than in the human stomach. Acid breaks down the meat and toxins are included in it.
Meat is rapidly degraded, so predators - short intestine to digest meat as much as possible in the short term.We have more than nine-meter intestine.
We are not emotionally prepared to eat meat
We have neither the stomach adapted to digest animal, nor the desire to kill them. Most of those who eat meat, agree that if they were asked to kill an animal, they could not do it. So we try to deceive themselves with linguistic tricks. We do not eat "cow", "chicken", "deer", "calf" or "pig". We eat beef, chicken, venison, veal or pork.
I'm not saying that you should become vegetarians. I say that for a man meat - a substitute that does not have the necessary nutritional value. "Easy way" does not prescriptive. It is based on natural principles - so sometimes wild animals have to have a surrogate food when enough of their usual food. Since they eat their natural food most of the time, they never get fat. The beauty of "easy way" - that is, it is a concept that I have termed "surrogate maximum." It means that 70% of your food should be natural products, the remaining 30% may consist of surrogates.
A great taste?
If cooked meat so perfectly why we need to spice it up?
Fortunately, we have compelling evidence. Let's go back to the prejudices.

A great taste?
If cooked meat so perfectly why we need to spice it up?
Why do we need a mint, apple or strawberry sauce?
Why do we often add a huge dose of condiments such as mustard, exotic spices or garlic?
We usually add flavors to enhance the insipid or "recapture" bad taste.
But why vegetarians look so pale and sickly?
If so, it is not because they do not eat meat. The fact that some vegetarians believe that abandoning the meat can eat anything in return.
We usually add flavors to enhance the insipid or "recapture" bad taste.
But why vegetarians look so pale and sickly?
If so, it is not because they do not eat meat. The fact that some vegetarians believe that abandoning the meat can eat anything in return.
Many people become vegetarians in the student's age and go on a diet of crisps, chocolate and only a small fraction of other products. On the other hand, many proponents of vegetarianism replace meat lots of cheese and dairy products.
Drink, children, milk!
Previously, all students had to drink at least a glass of milk a day. The consequence of this was that many developed allergic reaction to it.
Some time ago I also got rid of prejudices and took the meat - a surrogate. With milk and dairy products battle was much more serious.
During the first months of life, we drink only milk. As milk and dairy products may be a surrogate?
First irrefutable fact
The first food of young mammals - breast milk. But nature has been planned so that they were weaned. Enzymes (digestive enzymes) needed to digest milk are rennin and lactase. They exist in the body for up to three years of age. Our body is designed so that we can not digest milk after we have taken away from his mother's breast.
Do you know any adults living creatures except humans and domestic animals that drink milk?
If so, remind yourself of my goals and the "surrogate maximum." I'm not saying that you should eat only raw, natural foods. I'm just saying that fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds - ideal products for human consumption.
Please keep in mind that the range of substitutes may be different: technically whole grain bread - a substitute, because it is made from recycled products, but it is much more nutritious than chocolate.
We came up with a huge number of ways to handle products. We cook, fry, rafiniruem, frozen, smoked, canning, butiliruem, pour sauce, sweetening, pickle, dry them or supplement them with salt or other additives.
We recycle products for different reasons
Sometimes it helps to digest certain foods, such as meat, which is inedible raw. Sometimes - in order to get rid of the toxic contents. But the main reason - their protection from damage.
In other words, the main goal of treatment of food - make it inedible for bacteria. But if it is bad for bacteria, it can be bad for you and me!
Beware of processed foods
If the reference book on your car recommends a certain optimal efficiency, fuel type, you will probably follow these tips. Every time we treat natural products we ignore advice intelligence a million times more significant than our own.
One of the unfortunate side effects of treatment of real food, is that it tends to destroy the value of the products and reduce the moisture content.
Living water content
Fuels and lubricants - is liquid. Liquid plays an equally important role in the free movement of your body.Blood transports energy and essential substances throughout the body. Fluid is very important for digestion and removing waste products.
One of the most common ways to handle food - this heat treatment. Unfortunately, during the heat treatment destroys all nutrients, and reduced level of liquid in the product. Drink during lunch or adding water does not compensate for the negative effect. This thinking is the path of "plastic bucket." The digestive system does not work
One valid reason for food processing
Food processing reduces its nutritional value. However, there is only one single valid reason why it was necessary to preserve food. The reason for this - the need to escape from hunger. First sailors survived thanks to the cheese, liver, boiled and salted meat. But they soon realized that yearn for fresh fruit and vegetables, and as a result the lack of these products led to serious illness.
Most products made huge commercial concerns. Remember what you ate in the last week. What is the percentage of real food? Even such basic foods like milk, bread or potatoes, processed. Wild animals eat the surrogate only when the familiar food available to them. It is no wonder that many of us - are obese, sleepy and unwell.
Effects of excessive consumption of surrogates
You become sluggish because you can not produce the energy necessary to your body and you feel hungry.You consume more surrogates and feel worse. Surrogates give some energy, even if you eat a lot, because the body has to work very hard to ensure the digest them and get rid of waste products. Your kidneys and liver can not remove toxins. Your stomach and intestines can not cope with constant congestion. Constantly increasing toxic residue retained in the body, as well as fat. You become constantly tired and achy, and as it is funny, constantly hungry.
So what's the answer? What is the ideal food for people
What are our closest relatives eat?
Our DNA is 99% identical to the chimpanzee. We are similar in appearance to his fellows, great apes, and this applies to our internal organs.
Does this mean that if we have identical digestive system, then we should have the same thing?
Gorillas like fresh fruits and nuts. If these products are not available, they supplement your diet with other vegetation. They never eat meat or dairy products. Some monkeys sometimes eat meat, but the bulk of their diet consists of fruit, nuts and other vegetation.
But we can only live on some fruit?
Our so-called need for solid food - also part of indoctrination. All babies develop giant mammals pace, eating only breast milk. But if you are concerned about vitamin deficiency, let me reassure you. One of the charms of "simple path" that you do not have to worry about the vitamins, fat grams or calories.
Adult male gorilla is 30 times stronger than a man. As the human race managed to survive before they opened vitamins? Using common sense.
All evidence points to fruit
This is what our ancestors ate and what to eat our closest relatives.This was our main diet before we left the forest and destroying them in order to plant crops and raise cattle. That is why our children are so fond of them. They would love the adults, if they had not been exposed to prejudice.
All evidence - in the pudding
Do fruit taste. That's why we use them to flavor many foods. We like the fruity taste, combined with many meat dishes. Remember: duck under oranges, ham with pineapple, turkey currant sauce, pork in apple sauce. We add fruit flavors in alcoholic beverages. Jelly or cream that we love the children, have a fruity taste. We decorate cakes, pies and other delicacies fresh fruit. And what tastes milkshakes? Banana, strawberry, pineapple and so forth.
Why we do not eat organic foods?
Why do we eat harmful surrogates when natural products are much cheaper and more readily available? If you have a garden, they are practically free.
About the valuable properties of the fruit even in folklore said: "apple for dinner and do not need a doctor."When I was a kid, part of the statement that I heard as a child - "they are so rich that keep fruit in the house, even when no one gets sick."
To summarize
Fruit - the best product in terms of taste, vitamins, nutrients, fiber, fluid energy density, ease of digestion and elimination of toxins. Fresh fruit combined with nuts, vegetables, cereals and other vegetation - the same set of perfect food, which nature has given us.
So, if we are still going to have a surrogate products, such as meat, then it certainly should be very tasty. If you still think that these surrogates are very tasty, how do you explain the need for such supplements to them, such as mustard or horseradish? Why do we need a surrogate mix food with ketchup or other sauces? Why do we need salt and pepper? Why do we need a surrogate strongly fragrant spice flavors, such as curry or garlic?If you eat foods with garlic flavor, you will not feel the taste of the dish, you feel just garlic.
We put additives in food in order to get rid of the bad taste or taste add fresh food.
Natural products do not require supplements. And them and so - wonderful taste.
The final proof
No other product has such a concentration of liquid energy and nutrient content, such as fruit. A high liquid content, rapid digestion, nutrient absorption and excretion of the decay products provide us the maximum amount of energy.
That's why when you need a surge of energy, tennis players eat bananas, and the players - oranges. On the other hand, when solid, fruits, mainly composed of water. High water content provides access precious oxygen into the body. Have you noticed that on hot days the fruit is not only refreshing, but also cool? Drinks factory production will be cold, if only to keep them in the refrigerator or add ice in them.
What can you say about strawberries with cream?
This is also a "hype." In cream - insipid, and so we rarely eat them just like that. Sugar is usually added in strawberries and other fruits when they are still immature, which makes them a substitute. Eat fruits only when they are ripe and fresh. Avoid canned fruit, especially in sweetened syrup.
Hearing set on natural food, some people worry that they are encouraged to be vegetarians or to impose a new diet.
In fact, the diet of many people are not so diverse. And before I discovered "The Simple Way", I was also not an exception. My breakfast consisted of a bowl of cereal. I eat them every day. Once I got tired of these flakes and flakes moved to other manufacturers - and continued to eat them every day. The same thing happens if you eat oatmeal or something else. Most people eat the same thing every day.
Even with a variety of other meals are not as great as we imagine. I realized this when once again perusing the menu of my favorite Indian restaurant. The waiter was activity than usual and started to anticipate my choice. I asked him how he had guessed that I want to select, and he replied that he had noticed that I always choose these dishes. I realized that even at your favorite restaurant, every time meticulously studying the menu, choose the same.
There is nothing bad or wrong with you again and again to eat familiar food if it provides you with energy and makes you happy and healthy.
I become a vegetarian?
Only if you want them to become. Let me assure you that if you choose to become a vegetarian, you will be surrounded by a diverse set of delicious flavors. With such a range of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and vegetarian dishes, which are now available in supermarkets, you can for a month every day to cook different dishes. Many of those who eat meat, for comparison, limit yourself to just four or five different types of meat: chicken, beef, lamb, pork and turkey. Sometimes they are added to the diet of seafood, if they want something different.
You will feel a variety of
Let me remind you of "surrogate maximum" - "Easy Way" does not impose restrictions. I'm not saying that you should eat only fruits, nuts or vegetables. I'm just saying that these products are ideal.
If you already eat these foods, we are talking about, then you only need to increase their share in their diets.On the other hand, if you love what I loved before the opening of the "simplest way", the more likely you are eating very little natural food. And in this case you will discover a greater variety.
Now - about those kinds of conventional surrogate, from which you should avoid.
Refined products
Refining process boils down to, to remove the majority of nutrients, vitamins and fiber. The worst "culprits" of highly refined carbohydrates: sugar, white rice and white flour. These products make you better, because deliver only empty calories and low quality carbohydrates that instantly turn into fat.
Blood sugar
If you for a long time consume highly refined carbohydrates, sugar level in your blood drops. It is subjectively perceived by us as drowsiness, irritability and even depression. A "lifting" that people feel after a dose of sugar or starchy snacks - it is an illusion, they provide only temporary relief.
Drink, children, milk!
Previously, all students had to drink at least a glass of milk a day. The consequence of this was that many developed allergic reaction to it.
Some time ago I also got rid of prejudices and took the meat - a surrogate. With milk and dairy products battle was much more serious.

To summarize
Fruit - the best product in terms of taste, vitamins, nutrients, fiber, fluid energy density, ease of digestion and elimination of toxins. Fresh fruit combined with nuts, vegetables, cereals and other vegetation - the same set of perfect food, which nature has given us.
So, if we are still going to have a surrogate products, such as meat, then it certainly should be very tasty. If you still think that these surrogates are very tasty, how do you explain the need for such supplements to them, such as mustard or horseradish? Why do we need a surrogate mix food with ketchup or other sauces? Why do we need salt and pepper? Why do we need a surrogate strongly fragrant spice flavors, such as curry or garlic?If you eat foods with garlic flavor, you will not feel the taste of the dish, you feel just garlic.
We put additives in food in order to get rid of the bad taste or taste add fresh food.
Natural products do not require supplements. And them and so - wonderful taste.
The final proof
No other product has such a concentration of liquid energy and nutrient content, such as fruit. A high liquid content, rapid digestion, nutrient absorption and excretion of the decay products provide us the maximum amount of energy.
That's why when you need a surge of energy, tennis players eat bananas, and the players - oranges. On the other hand, when solid, fruits, mainly composed of water. High water content provides access precious oxygen into the body. Have you noticed that on hot days the fruit is not only refreshing, but also cool? Drinks factory production will be cold, if only to keep them in the refrigerator or add ice in them.
What can you say about strawberries with cream?
This is also a "hype." In cream - insipid, and so we rarely eat them just like that. Sugar is usually added in strawberries and other fruits when they are still immature, which makes them a substitute. Eat fruits only when they are ripe and fresh. Avoid canned fruit, especially in sweetened syrup.
Hearing set on natural food, some people worry that they are encouraged to be vegetarians or to impose a new diet.
In fact, the diet of many people are not so diverse. And before I discovered "The Simple Way", I was also not an exception. My breakfast consisted of a bowl of cereal. I eat them every day. Once I got tired of these flakes and flakes moved to other manufacturers - and continued to eat them every day. The same thing happens if you eat oatmeal or something else. Most people eat the same thing every day.
Even with a variety of other meals are not as great as we imagine. I realized this when once again perusing the menu of my favorite Indian restaurant. The waiter was activity than usual and started to anticipate my choice. I asked him how he had guessed that I want to select, and he replied that he had noticed that I always choose these dishes. I realized that even at your favorite restaurant, every time meticulously studying the menu, choose the same.
There is nothing bad or wrong with you again and again to eat familiar food if it provides you with energy and makes you happy and healthy.
I become a vegetarian?
Only if you want them to become. Let me assure you that if you choose to become a vegetarian, you will be surrounded by a diverse set of delicious flavors. With such a range of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and vegetarian dishes, which are now available in supermarkets, you can for a month every day to cook different dishes. Many of those who eat meat, for comparison, limit yourself to just four or five different types of meat: chicken, beef, lamb, pork and turkey. Sometimes they are added to the diet of seafood, if they want something different.
You will feel a variety of
Let me remind you of "surrogate maximum" - "Easy Way" does not impose restrictions. I'm not saying that you should eat only fruits, nuts or vegetables. I'm just saying that these products are ideal.
If you already eat these foods, we are talking about, then you only need to increase their share in their diets.On the other hand, if you love what I loved before the opening of the "simplest way", the more likely you are eating very little natural food. And in this case you will discover a greater variety.
Now - about those kinds of conventional surrogate, from which you should avoid.
Refined products
Refining process boils down to, to remove the majority of nutrients, vitamins and fiber. The worst "culprits" of highly refined carbohydrates: sugar, white rice and white flour. These products make you better, because deliver only empty calories and low quality carbohydrates that instantly turn into fat.
Blood sugar
If you for a long time consume highly refined carbohydrates, sugar level in your blood drops. It is subjectively perceived by us as drowsiness, irritability and even depression. A "lifting" that people feel after a dose of sugar or starchy snacks - it is an illusion, they provide only temporary relief.
Combination products
Be careful with a combination of many different products in the same meal. The wrong combination can cause serious problems with digestion, prevent absorption of nutrients and the conclusion of the decay products.
Stomach uses juice based acids to digest proteins and alkaline juice - to digest carbohydrates. Mix the alkali with an acid, and they cancel each other. For example if you eat a steak (protein) with a portion of fried potatoes (carbohydrates), neither one nor the other will not be thoroughly digested. Result - congestion, digestive problems and obesity.
This does not mean that you need to completely separate proteins and carbohydrates. One of my favorite foods - wholegrain pasta (carbohydrates) with fresh pesto 1 and crushed nuts (protein), in conjunction with a green salad.
The idea is to avoid a large number of combinations of proteins with a large amount of carbohydrates in a meal.
How to start?
The best way - just eat fruits and fruit for breakfast. You might think that the idea of a fruit breakfast is unacceptable, but it is - just prejudice. Be open-minded, and one you'll wonder how could eat for breakfast something else.
If you always eat three times a day, your fruity breakfast would mean neither more nor less than what you have already achieved the goal of half - a 70% content of natural foods in your diet.
I never tire of fruit?
Termites do not get tired of corrosion wood, but you can easily get tired of surrogates. Experiment with fruit that is on sale. Despite the fact that supermarkets offer a growing range of surrogates, we can thank them for the incredible variety of tasty and delicious fruits and vegetables.
Here is a sample set of fruits and berries available to you and me today: apples, pears, cherries, oranges, tangerines, mangoes, bananas, grapefruit, strawberries, raspberries, black currants, blackberry, red currant, melon, gooseberry, kiwi, mulberries, grapes , pineapple, peaches, papaya, apricots and plums.
And what about other meals?
Stick to attack the "two strikes" and using it get rid of prejudices. Remember that we get used to the taste of the food we eat regularly. Try to consciously use this fact, experimenting with new flavors. Be adventurers.restaurant or supermarket, choose fruits, vegetables or dishes that you have not tried before. Remember the "surrogate maximum" in the case, if you want to order a steak or cheese omelet.
How can I determine the "surrogate maximum"?
You do not have to. Adhere to the "easy way" to practice simple - eat fruit for breakfast and salad with every main meal. If you follow these recommendations, you will be postponed in mind that about 70% of your daily food - it's fresh, natural products. Not terrible, even if part of surrogate products will be 30%.
Do not turn into a problem solution
If your work involves frequent dinners in hotels and restaurants, there is no need to do this problem. very few institutions do not serve the salad.
"Easy Way" is flexible enough. Do not make it difficult. Remember: there is no hard and fast rules that must be followed at all times - there is only the direction to be followed most of the time. Additional guidelines will help you to properly combine foods. Try to follow them when and where you can, but do not dwell on the right combination of food or other aspects of the "easy way."
I usually eat a variety of fruits for breakfast, but away from home I could well have breakfast with something else, if the hand is not fruit. This is part of my "surrogate high."
Recipes
Salads
Here are just a small selection from a vast number of natural products that you can put in a salad: cucumbers, tomatoes, watercress, onions, peppers, Chinese lettuce, tomatoes, sweet corn, artichokes, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, cashew nuts, shea butter, pistachios, olives, avocado, melon, orange, peach, grape, pineapple, walnuts. They can fill a small amount of mayonnaise as part of "surrogate high", but I prefer a healthy filling - like olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, pesto sauce.
Just a couple of suggestions
One of my favorite meals, it's - avocado, lettuce and tomato sandwich and a drop of sauce "Pesto". I also like doing homework guacamole (avocado, tomato, onion, chili, garlic and lemon juice mixed in a blender) on whole grain toast. For dinner, my wife Joyce can mix fresh vegetables or baked potatoes and serve it with crispy fresh salad. If you sometimes want a steak, chicken or fish as an addendum to the salad, it's nothing to worry about.Alternatively, a salad can be a main dish, served with warm wholemeal bread or wrapped in pita bread. If you need more inspiration, take a book of recipes salads. I feel a real pleasure, experimenting and creating new recipes.
Principles of proper food combining
Avoid eating fruits together with other products, except fresh vegetables.
Try not to combine a large number of proteins and carbohydrates in the same meal. Carbohydrates are found in starchy vegetables (such as potatoes, corn, etc.), cereals and cereal products (such as wheat, rice, bread, pasta). Meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, eggs, nuts are protein products.
Do not eat too many kinds of products, and not more than one type of junk food in one go.
Salads and other vegetables can be digested as acidic and alkaline medium, so they can be mixed with protein and carbohydrate food.
Should I avoid the New Year's feast?
No, if you do not want. single violation no serious harm. But one day, feeling the natural foods satisfy hunger, it is unlikely you will continue to fill your stomach plenty of surrogates. I eat the same food for the New Year's table, and that my whole family. But I combine it with salads and eat very slowly, feeling the taste of the food, and after eating immediately stop.
Do not snack between meals
This usually happens out of habit or boredom. It spoils the pleasure of satisfying hunger, in other words, interrupts appetite. But overeating - not a cure for boredom. Disserve, it leads to obesity and drowsiness, which reduces activity, and hence to the bore. Healthy body and mind never get bored.
If you feel hungry between meals, it may be only one or at most two reasons. Either you do not get enough nutrients at lunch time - and in this case you know how to solve this problem. Another possible reason - is that the break between meals was really long enough. If your lifestyle is associated with such interruptions, the decision of this problem will be the fruit that you can eat between meals.
Drinks
You can buy a juicer. Some prefer to drink juice in the morning - it's wonderful, but do not overdo it, drink enough to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger. Juicer can also be used for the preparation of vegetable juice.
But the best thirst quencher cool, clean, refreshing and oxygen-rich water. Better to drink mineral water, but tap water is still much less harmful to health than many of what you could drink.
If you want to drain a glass of wine at dinner, or perhaps a cup of tea or coffee - do not worry, if you remember the "surrogate maximum." But do not be fooled, if any of these drinks to quench your thirst.
Natural drinks guide
When you want to quench your thirst - drink water or fruit and vegetable juices.
If you do not get dehydrated, you do not need to drink more than one glass of fluid at one time. On the other hand, some may drink two liters of beer at a time, but it does not quench your thirst. That's because alcohol - a diuretic, which has a dehydrating effect. Coffee, tea, and other caffeinated beverages have the same effect, although their primary ingredient - water. Diuretic effect of these drinks makes you want to drink more and more.
Coffee and tea
16 Some drink tea or coffee cups in a day, mainly due to caffeine dependency. The main symptoms of caffeine addiction - drowsiness and trouble concentrating. Rise, burst of energy that you get from a cup of tea or coffee - just a temporary suppression of caffeine addiction. Remember I said earlier about the tight shoes and a sigh of relief that you release when shooting it?
If you really need energy - eat a banana!
Get rid of prejudicesMost healthy, refreshing drink is not good enough for a man. He needs to add back the dye, sugar, alcohol, caffeine and other surrogates. We decorate it a little umbrella and dried with a sense of superiority over other types of living beings.
The process of getting rid of prejudices about drinks requires the same attack "two strikes", as well as on nutrition. Note that when you drink coffee, tea, cola or alcohol, you only think that they quench their thirst.Therefore, we feel thirsty again shortly after their use. On the other hand, when you want to drink much, the only thing that you really need - it's cool, clean, refreshing, life-giving water.
Useful thingsDo not put too much food on the plate. Ask yourself - how are you hungry? You can always put additives - food from you will not run away. Take time to enjoy lunch and eating a full plate, just get pleasure from a few minutes of rest before you ask yourself whether you are hungry and want to eat any more.
If you put too much food, it does not necessarily try to eat it all. Ask yourself - do you really need more? If not, then stop eating. Then you will feel better and get so much more enjoyment out of your next meal.
Physical exerciseMost experts believe that exercise is essential for weight loss. Try to explain this turtle. Things only in order to lose weight - part of the so-called "diet syndrome." this case, the exercise becomes real punishment. It's like driving a car just for the sake of fuel to burn. the idea of exercise a serious disadvantage because of what you will not move to weight loss. Imagine your car with a full tank weighs a certain amount of pounds. If you drive and burn fuel at this point is the smallest weight. But if you want to go again, you need to refuel. In other words, exercises burn energy and dehydrate you, which makes you hungry and thirsty, which in turn makes you eat and drink more.
Drive a car, because it is great!
I strongly recommend not exercise to lose weight, but in order to maintain muscle tone, to be fit and healthy.And it helps you to enjoy life more. I would not spend money on an exercise bike, rowing machine and other appliances. this case it would be like to drive for fuel combustion, with the share of absurdity that the machine will not move. Much better to do outdoor sports, active pastime or hobby so that you like. Today, we can do anything. Again, be adventurers! Try to do something that had never been done before. I enjoy such things as golf, tennis, badminton, walking, running, dancing, boating, swimming and table tennis. Most of these classes can be very enjoyable part of life. But remember to be careful if you are unprepared, first consult a doctor, raise the level of physical fitness gradually and cautiously.
