It seems so odd that dieting does not have to entail forgetting about the food that you love, right? Yes, this may sound too good to be true. However, that is the basic premise of the food lovers diet. You do not have to starve or even deprive yourself from the foods that you enjoy eating. The only restriction is that you should not eat those which went through processes (like preservation and treatment) and avoid the ones with high amount of unnatural ingredients (like monosodium glutamate, preservatives, food color and preservatives).

How can food lovers diet help you lose weight?

First, this diet will help you set realistic expectations. Usually, people tend to give up on their diet because the foods that you are allowed to eat are too limited. Second, this is not about skipping meals. You only need to create the right balance between the amount of carbohydrates and other nutrients in every meal. Third, you can lose weight in a more healthy way. One to two pounds off your weight per week is the healthy way of slimming down. That way, your body would not have to handle drastic changes that can also lead to harmful effects.

The food lovers diet is not just all about losing weight. This will also be the key in making yourself much healthier. This program also includes an exercise regiment. The cardiovascular workout should help you burn more fat, enabling you to lose extra pounds off your body. You will also learn about strengthening exercise so that your body can perform better and your endurance will improve significantly too.

Focus on Green Veggies

A big part of the food lovers diet is focused on eating green vegetables. This is a good thing because it would not just make you lose weight but will also enhance your cardiovascular and digestive system. Ideally, it is recommended to eat green salad before you start with your well-balance main course. The logic behind this is to make you feel full so you can limit the amount of food that you eat. It is alright to stuff yourself up with vegetables because these are low in carbohydrates but high in fiber.

More Proteins and Less Carbohydrates

For your main course, it is okay to eat a little amount of carbohydrates. However, the most important nutrient that you should get is protein. This enables you to develop leaner and stronger muscles while getting rid of the extra fat. At the same time, proteins will make you feel full for a longer time so you would eat less often.

Burn Those Fat Through Exercise

The good thing about food lovers diet is that it encourages you to exercise so you would not easily gain back the weight that you will lose. The plan does not force you to sign up for a gym or go through rigorous workout plan. All it takes is to do simple cardio exercises like jogging, running or swimming, depending on your preference. To strengthen your body, you can also do some push ups, crunches, sit ups or squats.
