Hard Core Secrets of a Fat Loss Maniac
I am a maniac when it comes to keeping lean. I also do things healthfully, including fat loss. I believe in natural foods. My beliefs and practices many might call hard-core.
Are they secrets? I hate that word secret, as it is used as a marketing scam in many areas, including fat loss.
But I keep secrets and I will reveal some here. These things I do to keep lean and fit I usually do not talk about. I advise people to go the more traditional routes.
For example, I advise making breakfast your main meal of the day; that is not a secret. Making breakfast a healthy, substantial meal is a great fat loss tactic. But my secret is that I do not eat what I recommend people eat, because my personal standard is that only premium fuels go into my body.
I advise people to eat a whole grain cereal, hot or cold, served with soy, almond or rice milk. And fresh fruit. Whole grain toast topped with a natural peanut butter or almond butter. Stuff like that.
That is a healthy breakfast, but outside of the fresh fruit, I do not eat those things. For breakfast I soak in water overnight old-fashioned oats, raw sunflower seeds, walnuts, and almonds, plus raisins and date pieces. That is my centerpiece; I call it super cereal. I often have apple or banana slices too.
This dish is not for everyone, but it is about as healthy as anyone can eat. All whole, natural ingredients, all raw, with protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and fiber. It is nutritious and very filling.
I never eat boxed cereals, even if they are whole grain. These are in fact processed foods, these flakes or whatever. And they have added sugar, only it is called evaporated cane juice. I just do not eat them.
I almost never go for almond, rice or soymilks. Except for some plain soymilks, they all have added sugar.
Another thing, these products are expensive for my tastes. I like to get the best bang for my food buck, and I eat the way I do at about half the cost of prepared foods.
As for the whole grain toast and nut butters, these go to the core of my own overeating and overweight challenge. I have to severely limit these. I do not buy them often. It is too easy for me to eat bread slices, and overindulge in high fat foods like peanut butter. I love that stuff, I spread it thickly on those bread slices, toasted or un-toasted.
Same goes for pure fruit juices. I rarely drink them. They are healthy but they are also huge sugar/calorie hits. I enjoy them very occasionally.
You get the idea. If you are like me, a food lover who loves sweet drinks like fruit juices and fattening foods like peanut butter, you do not buy them very often. That is how I keep lean.
There, I let some of my secrets out. I was not really keeping them secret. I advise people on how to lose fat healthfully and permanently but most are not ready to eat the way I eat. Or restrict themselves like I do. So I strongly urge them to eliminate the horribly fattening stuff like dairy products, mayonnaise, meat, chicken, and replace them with plant-based, whole, natural foods. I stand by that advice.
But I do not expect most people to follow my personal hard-core, maniacal standards. But if you’re interested, they definitely work.
