Food For Weight Loss!

To effectively lose weight you must always remember exercise makes up 25% of equation while food makes up another 75%. Now, I know you are wondering then why does everyone tell you that you must exercise? Well, you have to understand exercise helps you internally with your internal organs, muscle, and strength. Food on the other hand, makes up the biggest portion because of the ole saying, "You are what you eat, from your head down to your feet." This is one of the most profound sayings ever because it is true.
In order to lose weight as a female you should go to a high fiber diet. Why fiber? Well, if you ever take the time to make a fiber drink with water only you see will see the drink swell. This is what happens in your stomach as well. Therefore, when you consume fiber you feel full. Fiber also adds digestion, helps prevent constipation. I can sit here and write all your fiber foods but the easiest and cheapest way to go on a high fiber diet is to purchase Metamucil smooth texture powder which comes in 1.5lbs or smaller boxes. The easiest way for me to drink this powdery substance was to make it as a daiquiri drink mixture. I would put a little juice, water, ice, and two tablespoons of Metamucil in my blender and make my drink. I would have one for breakfast, lunch, and as a snack later in the day. Before I knew it, I was eating smaller portions and with exercise up to 10,000 steps a day I was losing anywhere from 2-3lbs a week. I was so motivated I would reach anywhere from 12,000 to 15,000 steps because I was feeling so much better. When you exceed 10,000 steps and go to a high fiber diet you can't lose in the weight loss battle. Tomorrow we will discuss metabolism boosting foods.
