Eating more complex carbs like in whole grains rather than processed carbs like sugar and white bread ensures a steady release of sugar into your blood, and having veggies and beans as the base of your diet ensures you simply don't take in these excessive amounts of energy that you do when you have a carb-based diet. I generally promote changing your general diet to a plant-based one with limited meat intake, and complex carbs. rather than going on a diet where you restrict yourself to only certain foods for a limited amount of time (it will make you crave for the foods you left out). That helps you identifying foods that are good for you (and making it a habit to eat just thosewill have a huge impact on your long-term health as well). These foods will become your feel-good food. And remember, having a sweet or dessert every once in a while is really not the end of the world, especially if it is not part of your every day diet but rather a treat. That takes the pressure away and you can relax.Ulrikenoreply@blogger.com
