Can You Eat Delicious Foods and Still Lose Weight?

     Absolutely! If you're trying to lose weight and burn fat you don't have to be stuck with boring bland foods. It is possible to eat great and lose weight. There are many, many high quality and very delicious foods that you can eat that will actually turbo charge your weight loss and fat burning efforts.

One thing you do need to do is avoid processed and refined foods. Anything that's canned, jugged, frozen or boxed has no place in a healthy diet. And I think it goes without saying you need to avoid fast food restaurants as well! You can't possibly lose weight if any of these foods are part of your diet.

Your goal should be to eat foods that are fresh and as natural as possible. Here are some foods you can't go wrong with: naturally raised grass fed beef, organic whole eggs, organic poultry, fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh herbs and raw nuts. These natural foods are full of valuable nutrients and aren't loaded with artificial additives that not only cause weight gain but lead to many other types of health problems such as hypertension, cancer and diabetes.

One key to sticking with a new way to eat is to mix things up. Experiment with recipes, try different ways to cook and add different flavors. I love chicken, but I think I'd go bonkers if I ate it every day. Go through any cookbooks you may have or surf the Internet to find some new and imaginative recipes.

If you find a recipe you like, but it calls for ingredients that are unhealthy, just change the ingredient with a more healthy choice. For example, if you find a great recipe but one of the ingredients is milk, go ahead and swap that out with almond or coconut milk. Another thing you can do to add variety is change seasons around. It's really very simple.

You can also vary the way you cook your meals. If you normally barbeque your steak, try covering it with olive oil and sauteing it, or broil it. These are all healthy ways to cook and they're easy to do.

Here's just a sample of one recipe that will help you to eat great and lose weight:

Healthy French Toast:

2 slices of Sprouted Grain, Spelt or Rice bread
1 tablespoon of real butter
2 whole organic eggs
maple syrup
cinnamon

Directions: Mix the eggs in a bowl. Dip the bread in the egg mixture until it is completely coated on both sides. Heat a pan on low to medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the egg coated bread and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the toast with cinnamon and serve it with 2 teaspoons of maple syrup.

Baked Chicken a la Isabel

1 whole baking chicken
extra virgin coconut oil
your favorite Italian spices (I use thyme, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper)

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a small pan and melt it over low heat. Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of each of your spices in a small bowl and pour in the melted coconut oil. Mix all the ingredients together. Let the spice and coconut oil mixture cool.

Rub the spice and oil mixture under the skin of the chicken with your hands. Once the chicken is completely coated, place it breast side down in a glass baking pan and pop it in the oven. Let the chicken cook for 1 to 2 hours until it抯 done.

There抯 nothing boring or tasteless about the above recipes. If you抮e creative and are willing to experiment with new recipes, you can chow down like this everyday and look fantastic doing it.
