Advice
A healthy mindset is required when it comes to choosing food. For example sipping soda should be replaced by drinking plenty of water, fast food intake should be replaced by lots of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. If you are keen to manage your weigh eating many fruits and vegetables will be helpful, they have high water and fiber content which will help you feel full and help you control calorie intake as they are low in calories but high in volume compared to other foods.
MUFA’s
Monounsaturated fatty acids or MUFA’S are favored by Ray. Extra-virgin olive oil is the best source of MUFAs. If someone is looking for a flat belly MUFA’s are the key. Other sources of MUFAs include canola oil, dark chocolate, seeds, peanut butter, nuts, and avocados. Visceral fat accumulation, an unhealthy type of belly fat, can be avoided by choosing MUFA’s over other fats. Refined oil should be avoided.
Hunger
Be guided by your hunger, don’t eat if you’re not hungry. Understand the difference between food cravings and true hunger, this may be key to losing weight. In order to control your cravings consume a bit of proteins and fats with each meal, lack of one of these macronutrients may leave you craving anything. Ray advises not skipping meals, small nutritious meals six times a day are ideal for a healthy body.
Try to find alternatives
Opting for healthy alternatives is a good idea. Ray is not against dairy or sugar but advises that healthy alternatives like natural sweets like fruit, maple syrup, or honey are better options. She prefers trying things like millet, chickpea flour, and buckwheat instead of white flour. Cheese made of sheep’s milk is preferred over cow’s milk. Using artificial sweeteners as alternative is not a good idea.
