The Oatmeal Diet

I have recently switched from eating Bagels with either Jam or Nutella to eating oatmeal for breakfast.

This morning I found out that January is oatmeal month (Quaker oats names months?).

Anyway Oatmeal is very good for you as it is high in fiber which is good for your heart as well as vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, manganese and magnesium.

You can of course add protein powder to your oatmeal if you would like to raise the protein content for this first best meal for the day and I can only imagine how yummy strawberry protein powder with oatmeal would be.

Anyway I just was looking around and found someone that created a diet based on Oatmeal in training for an Ironman race.

Oatmeal diet – introduction is the intro to how this guy feels about oatmeal and even though a diet of oatmeal seems a little crazy eating oatmeal for breakfast is a great idea I believe for making sure that you are starting your day with a healthy step in the right direction.

10 Weight Loss Foods

I have always been a big fan of finding out what foods are best for weight loss and which are not so good.

Tom  Venuto used to be a Natural Pro bodybuilder and after he retired he wrote a book on losing weight that includes weight loss foods of course.

I found one of his articles on 10 weight loss foods for burning fat fast and thought it would be interesting stuff to let you know about.

Keep in mind that all of these foods are just foods to use more in your diet and the description of these weight loss foods is very good to know.

Toms Intro About How To Use His Fat Loss Foods

Anytime the topic of discussion in my blogs, articles or newsletters has turned to my own personal grocery shopping list, there has always been a spike in interest of weight loss foods.

top 10 weight loss foods

It seems that many people are not only curious about what foods a natural bodybuilder eats to maintain single digit body fat.

But of course people also want to be taken by the hand and told exactly what fat loss foods to eat themselves while on fat-burning or muscle building programs.

What are the Top Weight Loss Foods for You?

Of course, I can’t tell you what weight loss foods YOU should eat because I don’t know your likes and dislikes, not to mention whether you have any intolerances, allergies or foods you don’t eat for ethical reasons, etc.

What I CAN do is show you what I eat, which has helped me keep my body fat under 10% all year round and peak in the low single digits when I want to get cut for competitions or photo shoots.

Exact quantities and menus are not listed, just the individual foods, and of course my food intake does vary.

I aim to get as many different varieties of fruits and vegetables as possible over the course of every week and there are a lot of substitutions made, so you are not seeing the full list of everything I eat, only what foods I eat most of the time.

The list above is actually a set of Four Lists of fat loss foods

  • 10 top natural starchy carb and whole grains
  • Top 10 top vegetables
  • Top 10 lean proteins
  • Top 10 fruits

How To Jump Start A New Healthy Lifestyle

There are many tips, tricks and ideas that people have to help you live a healthy lifestyle. Not only are there a lot of ways but there are a lot of people telling you what to do to live a healthy lifestyle.

I expect that you know more than you give yourself credit for and besides listening to me, you should take these following ideas and leverage them with the knowledge you already have to live a lifestyle that will make you happy and healthy.

Firstly you should make sure that your eating is good. Next time you go to the supermarket buy a lot of food that is fresh.

When I say fresh I mean food that have not been processed and put in a bag or a box.

this months dietThis mean more fresh fruits and vegetables and eggs and less flour based foods like crackers, cookies, cakes and breads. I also try to get people to eat a bit more protein, you know like fish, meat and chicken but depending on how you eat now those ideas may be enough already.

Next make sure that you have enough water in your diet. Many of us drink a lot of coffee and soft drinks and as much as these taste good they are not that great for your body and your body really does crave water.

Again this is up to you to listen to what your body needs and if you are thirsty grab some water more often than you grab the other drinks.

Do you feel tired all of the time? Often people feel tired for one of two reasons. Either they do not sleep enough or they allow stress to enter their lives and never let it go.

Letting go of the stuff in your life is the easy part. Make sure you action things that you need to do when you are in the position to change things and otherwise just have a list in every place that you need to get things done so that you can take care of it at its own place.

The sleep part if it is an issue will take care of itself once you let go of the stress and go to bed, with no TV, at a reasonable hour.

Last is exercise. Oh, did you think I would forget about exercise? Make sure that you have your body moving for at least 30 minutes a day.

I actually went as far as to move close to my work so that I could ride a bike to and from work every day and this alone has freed up more time because I do not have to worry about exercise and at the same time I have an increase in energy, sleep better and am able to eat a little worse than I would be able to otherwise.

Exercise is something that you should figure out as far as the kind and the time of day that you will fit them in, what works for me will quite possibly not work for you and this is where most exercise plans FAIL.

Does this how to list seem tough? I hope not.

There are many ways that you can make changes in your life and these how to’s are just an example of a few things that when put together can make a big difference in your life
