Here’s some good ideas for how to stock your fridge and cabinets with a good hard body in mind.A great body starts on the shopping trip: stay away from junk foods. Always focus on healthy foods to eat and we will teach you how to lose weight fast.
Complement your morning eggs by getting some zucchini, spinach, or red peppers to go with them.Get some lean turkey to dice up and mix in with your eggs and swiss cheese.
Your fridge should have cocunut milk so you can mix it with smoothies and oatmeal for a rich taste.Healthy saturated fats come from coconut oil, so it really is good for you too.
Here are some other important things to have in your fridge:
* Cottage cheese, yogurt, and ricotta cheese. Mix ricotta cheese and cottage cheese together with nuts and berries for a great mid afternoon meal.
* Whole flax seeds. Grind these up and put them on salads and in yogurt. These are a great source of omega-3, so you’ll always want to grind them fresh.
* Eggs. These increase your good cholesterol and contain lots of nutrients.
* Butter. Never use margarine unless you love having heart attacks.
* Avocados. These are a great source of fiber, fats, and other nutrients.
* Whole grain bread and wraps. Get the kind with 3 or 4 grams of fiber for every 20 grams of carbs.
* Rice bran and wheat germ. These add nutrients and fiber to smoothies.
* For salads, always have lettuce, spinach, and shredded carrots.
* Avoid refined soybean oil by making your own salad dressing from extra virgin olive oil, Udo’s Choice oil blend, and balsamic vinegar.
Here’s some stuff to keep in the freezer:
* For variety, get different kinds of fish every week.
* Berries. Get fresh berries during the season, then freeze them so you have them all year.
* Frozen vegetables. Stock up on fresh veggies while in season, then freeze them to have a supply all year.
* Chicken breasts are convenient to heat up for salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
* Exotic lean meats like buffalo, venison, or ostrich. These are very healthy and key to a lean body.
Let’s move to the cabinets to see what’s in there:* Oat bran and cut oats for more fiber than instant oats.
* Canned coconut milk. Put this in a bottle in the fridge when you open it.
* Antioxidant teas. Green tea, oolong, white, roobios are preferred
* A natural sweetener like Stevia (much better for you than chemical sweeteners like Aspartame).
* Maple syrup (organic of course). Don’t get the brands with high fructose corn syrup. It must be organic. Put it in your post-workout smoothies.
* Honey. Make sure it’s raw, not processed. I use this to put in tea.Facitiates glucose metabolism.
* Brown rice or other with high fiber. Avoid White rice.
* Kidney beans (canned). Add to Mexican wraps for nutrition.Kidney beans are high in antioxidants.
* Tomato sauce, a great source of lycopene. Be sure to check the label to make sure it’s free of high fructose corn syrup.
* Dark chocolate. This is a good treat with a lot of antioxidants.
