Foods For A Harder Body

Everyone knows by now that your hard lean body will depend mostly on what you eat! I want to give you some ideas in this article for healthy foods which will help you to reach your goal. Here are some thoughts on what I keep in my fridge and my food cupboards. Any junk in the house will only tempt you to eat it so the first step is just not to have junk around the place. Chances are that it will get eaten ! Healthy food in the house will make you eat wisely – it is dead easy – you just eat what you have in the house. I suppose the vital thing really is not to make mistakes when you go food shopping. These are some ideas I have adopted over the years and they may encourage you to
experiment to suit your tastes.

Fresh vegetables are always in my fridge. I like to stock up with onions, broccoli, red peppers, mushrooms, zucchini. Now these will sometimes vary according to the season but that does not really matter so long as they are fresh. I use these vegetables to add to my morning eggs and I will also throw in some diced lean chicken or turkey and maybe some cheeses such as Swiss or goat’s.Coconut milk is full of healthy saturated fat – yes, the good kind of fat you need ! I always have it in my fridge and I can add it to yogurts, oatmeal and smoothies for a great creamy taste.

If you open my fridge, you will find some of the following . First off are eggs because they are a really good source of proteins and lots of other things and they add to your good cholesterol.I have loads of nuts as well, chopped walnuts, peanuts and almonds. Avocados are usually there as well because they provide you with lots of fibre and healthy fats as well. Great for adding to sandwiches, wraps and of course, salads. I keep wholegrain wraps as well. I keep rice bran and wheat germ – these add a nice crunchy taste to your smoothies or yogurt. And don’t forget you can use them whenever you bake bread or muffins. Spinach, carrots and lettuce are there as well for salads when I need them. I use homemade salad dressing – just a few drops of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Forget the stuff in the grocery store as they are full of soybean oil – bad because of free radicals.

If you open my kitchen cabinets, you will find : Oat bran – these have higher amount of fibre than the instant ones. I keep cans of coconut milk – if I open them I can keep the rest in the freezer. I have a wide variety of teas from oolong to green, white and rooibos. I also have a sweetener which is called Stevia . This is natural and non- caloric, not like those full of chemicals (aspartame, saccharine and sucralose). I make sure I have organic maple syrup- avoid the stuff which is full of fructose like the plague. I use the organic maple syrup occasionally to add to a smoothie if I want an insulin surge which in turn will shove nutrients into my muscles. Raw honey again is full of great nutrients unlike the highly processed stuff. Honey helps you to process the carbs, in other words your glucose metabolism. Great for your tea if you have a sweet tooth. I also keep whole grain pasta which has a higher amount of fibre than normal pasta. Brown rice is another staple in my cabinet – don’t bother with white rice. Kidney beans are great for adding to wraps and other Mexican stuff. Actually these beans are just full of antioxidants which will promote longevity. Tomato sauces are a great source of lycopene which is a great help if you are suffering from enlarged prostate. I consider myself a chocoholic but actually I try to limit my intake of dark chocolate (the darker the better) to a few squares. It is fairly full of calories but it has loads of antioxidants and that is much better than going and stuffing yourself with cake and cream. I also have some organic unsweetened cocoa powder – this is great for me as I am a chocoholic and I can satisfy my desires in a healthy way as this stuff is full of antioxidants as well.

I hope you enjoyed looking inside my fridge and kitchen cabinets and that this will give you some great ideas when you go to your grocery store to stock up. Just eat some or most of the stuff above and you will be well on your way to a healthier, leaner you.
