1. Grass-Fed Beef. Every rule has an exception to it. Almost all fitness trainers recommend that beef should be completely avoided as it is rich in fat content. But, beef is available in various shapes and sizes and the good news for all beef lovers is that grass-fed beef is healthy and can be consumed without any restrictions.
Now that Ive gotten some eyebrows raised and some dieting mouths watering, let me tell you the goodness of this type of beef. Your Washington, DC personal trainer puts grass-fed beef into the list because its packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids, protein and fat-burning CLA, and is relatively low in saturated fat.
It is general knowledge that cows are herbivores that consume grass alone but for our selfish gains, people began to feed them corn and soy. They require antibiotic shots on a daily basis because they are more vulnerable to bacterial infections thanks to this force feeding. This is done to make them gain more body weight in lesser time. But feeding them corn actually makes them less healthy because it increases the level of saturated fat in their body.
Trustworthy stalls at a farmers market carry genuine grass-fed beef.
2. Turkey bacon. Anyone who told you that you cant have bacon is wrong. It is perhaps the best food for all those who are on a strict diet. Even your Washington, DC personal trainer recommends this high protein, low calorie diet. Sure the original may taste better, but it sure can get you hooked. Your favorite veggies go great with it.
3. Shrimp. Lets give our menu some variation — lets talk seafood! Shrimps lean meat are packed with Vitamin D (for stronger bones), B12 (for energy) and selenium (an anti-oxidant), and are impressively low in calories and fat! Weight watchers and heart patients alike will love shrimps! Cook these seafarers in two minutes or less and you’re ready for a healthy eating.
4. Farm-fresh egg. As with beef, not all eggs are created equal. Farm-fresh eggs are harvested from chickens that were limited to eating pastures (grass-fed chickens, if I must put it). Farm-fresh eggs differ in color from the usual eggs who see in markets and groceries and can be bought from a farmers market. Its great benefits include: low in cholesterol and saturated fat; and it has more omega-3 vitamin A and E compared to regular white eggs.
5. Berries. Berries are like little treats that come in fun shapes and colors. They are very good for your health not only because they are low in calories and even low in sugar but also because they are a great source of vitamin C, potassium, flavonoids, phytochemicals, folate and some calcium.
6. Cauliflower. Veggies like cauliflower are very useful for liver functioning because they are packed with compounds that enable the liver to neutralize potentially toxic substances namely – glucosinolate and thiocyanate. It also contains indole-3-carbinol which is a phtonutrient that controls bad cholesterol levels in the body by restricting the secretion of an LDL-carrier that transfers them to tissues in our body.
7. Spinach. This green leafy vegetable is famous for being an anti cancer agent. It is helpful in lowering blood pressure because it contains magnesium and is also good for your eyesight because it contains lutein. It is also rich in beta carotene, Vitamin C, vitamin K and iron. This leafy vegetable is recommended by your personal trainer from Washington, DC as it is low in calories and completely fat free.
8. Metabolic Drive. It comes in the form of a powder which can be used to make protein shakes. The excellent taste and mesmerizing flavor of this protein shake will probably make you wonder how can something that tastes that good actually be good for you. This drink is low in carbs and high on proteins and also an excellent source of energy.
9 & 10. Tamari Almond and Sugar-free chocolate. Healthy treats are the best kind. Most people may not prefer almonds, but Tamari almonds are no ordinary almond. This is a rich source of Vitamin B3, manganese and protein. They also contain tryptophan which helps increase serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone that helps you sleep better and put you in a pleasant mood. Sugar free chocolate is rich in cocoa and low on sugar. These cocoa beans are rich in anti-oxidants, flavonoids and have healthy cholesterol in it.
