Every Friday is weight loss tips day here at Former Fat Guy Blog and the 3 weight loss tips for today are about white foods. I rarely if ever recommend removal of foods from diet, but rather take the approach of increasing and improving the foods we eat. I teach my clients to focus on increasing whole foods and making new habits. By increasing whole food consumption, the bad habits simply get pushed aside as there’s no room anymore.
I feel that today’s 3 weight loss tips simply have to be stated for effect, so I am.
3 Weight Loss Tips – Remove White Foods
Remove White Flour Foods
White bread, white pasta, white rice, white crackers, pancake mix, tortilla’s, buns, anything made with white flour should simply be tossed out (or given to your local homeless shelter or food bank). White flour products are broken down too quickly in your stomach and turned to sugar too fast.
Remove White Sugar
First to go should be the big bag of sugar that you’ve got lurking in the cupboard, then anything that includes white sugar such as drink mixes (frozen and powdered), Pop (of course), hot chocolate mix, flavored instant breakfast mixes, boxed breakfast cereals and all the thousands of other places sugar is hidden in your home. To be honest, if there’s a product in your cupboard that isn’t a dry bean or grain, it should only be a spice – nothing else. If it’s in a box it’s not a food and should not be used to fuel your body.
Remove White Salt
It’s my opinion as well as many others, that the only salt you should be putting in your body is Celtic sea salt. I use Real Salt brand salt, but any Celtic sea salt will do fine.
The first 2 of the weight loss tips are all about reducing the amount of sugar in your blood stream. The more sugar you remove from entering your body, the more chances your body has to use your fat as fuel. Do you want to burn fat or burn sugar? If fat is the answer, then remove the white flour and white sugar.
a great post rob..
i think it would be really cool if you published the fact that you have gained a lot of weight recently and then, due to the champion of your soul, lost it again.therefore respect is due.please put the details on here of why you gained the weight,because we all can…and then how you turned the corner (Darlene) and made your goals come back..
I hope you don’t delete my comment, I think it would be helpful to me and maybe others that are lost.
God Bless Rob
I’m working on the marketing of that fact right now James. I’ve been taking a picture a day to document the journey I’ve embarked on. It will be made into a video and I’ll be posting a weekly picture as soon as I can get my new server configured. I moved hosts and it didn’t work so I have to move again before I can get it to work
I’ll be posting the weight gain / loss soon enough
