Introduction
You have purchased this Healthy Diet Cookbooks because you are ready to make a healthy lifestyle change. Dieting is always the best way to start. The two diets in this book provides healthy choices in recipes for grain free eating and juicing. You can combine the two diets and juice for 1 or 2 meals and eat grain free for the others.
When you decide you want to be healthier, whether it is to eat certain foods to keep from having symptoms of allergies or intolerances, or if it is to lose weight, you need to plan it out. If you view your diet as a lifestyle that is there to make you healthy rather than, this will make me thinner you will have more success. Looking as dieting as a lifestyle choice is better than calling it a spur of the moment, I'll do it until I lose x amount of weight.
Your bottom line should be to be healthier.
The best way to improve your lifestyle is not to jump off the cliff head first, leaving behind all bad habits and only eating salads. The best way to change it is through small simple steps. This helps you to break your bad habits and overcome their hold on you and move on to developing new healthy habits. You have to make up your mind you want a change and you want to be healthy. Adjust your attitude into one that will set on making and keeping these healthy lifestyle changes.
Some diets are extreme and hard to follow. If you are used to eating what you want when you want and suddenly jump in with a diet plan that has you counting calories or measuring your food you will not last with it. It is too drastic a step to take. Instead, think about dieting as a means of simple changes for the better. This book has many recipes you are sure to find ones with the foods you love. Start your diet by including your favorite foods found within the ingredients in the recipes.
When making drastic changes to dieting it is best to start with small slow changes. For example, try changing just one meal a day to the new diet. Do this for several days to a week. Then add another meal, and so on. This gives you time to overcome the cravings for the wrong foods. This helps to create a good habit with healthy eating.
Having a good attitude about your diet changes will help. Do not feel you aren't doing it right if you start slow. Look at it as a positive change. If you start with eating the new diet foods for breakfast, then you are making a positive change for the better. Pat yourself on the back for every small step you take towards this new lifestyle. Eventually it will be a full change and your diet will be completely healthy and nutritious.
Once you give the diet a slow start, continue with it in moderation. Assess your health and how bad you need to be on this diet to determine how much you want to jump in at first and how long you will take to make the whole change to the new healthy lifestyle. You need to look at your change in diet as a complete lifestyle change and not just a quick fix, lose the weight, and back to the same old habits. Think healthy, think permanent changes.
But permanent changes in dieting are tough to do if you are used to eating what you want. (Especially if the food is junk food related.) Going off this food, the body does go through withdrawal, because sugar and processed foods are addictive, as addictive as cigarettes. It is best to look at the dieting process as a weaning process, and gradually let go of the bad foods and replace with the good foods.
Another way to wean off the junk food is to serve and eat smaller portions. At each meal and snack time, cut the portion in half for a week, and replace the other half with a nutritious food. The next week cut it in half again. By the third week, you should be able to stop the food completely. This works great for caffeine addictions as well as sugar addictions.
Another thing to consider for dieting is perhaps to change the way you eat. Eating three big meals a day is not ideal in fact it promotes obesity. Consider eating five small meals a day and forgo the snacks.
This is ideal - to cut your normal
big meal in half for breakfast and lunch, then eat a light supper. So you would eat half a breakfast, then 2 hours later eat the 2nd half, then 2 hours later - half the lunch, and so on. You do not have to cut the meals in half literally, but you eat fewer portions, you get the picture.
Other tips to change the way you eat is to eat slow. Eating meals too fast causes you to eat more than you should. Eating too fast means the food is not properly chewed and therefore is tougher to digest. Do not eat if you are not hungry. Eating out of habit just helps to pile on the fat and keep it there. Once you eat the last meal of the day, the supper, stop eating for the rest of the night. This helps you to rest better too.
Another key ingredient to dieting and exercise success is water. Yes, you have heard it a thousand times drink plenty of water. The truth is so many do not get enough water each day and it harms their health. Water helps to keep the body hydrated, which is helpful during exercise. Water also helps to cleanse the body of toxins and keeps the digestive clean. Water will help the body to assimilate and digest the nutritious foods you will be consuming on your new diet.
Section 1: Grain Free Cooking
Grain free eating can be hard to think about in a culture that uses flour, corn and other refined starches in almost every food. For some of us, however, grains aren't the healthiest option. Mounting evidence suggests that heavy carbohydrate consumption simply isn't ideal for a significant portion of the population. If you're among these people, you're better off choosing a protein-heavy diet that helps you keep your blood sugar consistent and reduces your risk of diabetes and similar conditions.
For others, the gluten found in a wide variety of grains like wheat, rye and some oats can cause serious digestive and metabolic problems. Whether you have a grain allergy or you suffer from gluten intolerances such as celiac disease, your body simply can't digest grains properly. In severe cases, the nutritional deficiencies caused by this problem can lead to fuzzy thinking, deterioration of the bones and teeth, and even serious mood disorders. The solution is simple: just discontinue grains.
Last but not least, you may wish to avoid grains if you're following a paleo-style diet. These eating plans focus on the foods that were available to our ancestors before
