Yes, I’ll admit it. I miss eating junk food all the time. Before I started fitness, I was eating all kinds of crap. Junky snacks, fast food, drank a lot of soda, junky breakfast I shouldn’t be eating in the morning. After realizing what I was getting into, I thought to myself, “Man, am I getting a bit old for this? Eating junk food, when this is kid stuff? I need to change my lifestyle and become a man!” So that’s exactly what I did. Changing your nutrition is not that hard.
All you gotta do is think of all the junk food you’ve been eating and think about what better things you should be eating instead.
For example, for breakfast, instead of having junk cereals loaded with sugar or having fatty pancakes and french toast you would want to go for egg whites, Quaker oats (whole grain 100% natural oatmeal) or plain shredded wheat.If you want toast or a bagel, make sure it’s whole grain only.
For lunch instead of having fast food all the time or fatty meals, you would want to have tuna fish sandwich or salmon sandwiches, quinoa mixed with salsa, chicken breast, any kind of fish, etc. Lots of healthy lunch ideas.
For dinner instead of having fast food, pizza or fried foods you would want to have any kind of fish, chicken breast or various meats that are healthy. I’m sure you can think of plenty of healthy meal ideas for dinner.
For snack instead of having potato chips, candy bars, popcorn, ice cream you would to want have fruit, vegetables, %1 lowfat cottage cheese, almonds, and lowfat greek yogurt.
There, you get the idea. If you want to have a better nutrition you just need to look at your past mistakes that you’ve made and figure a way to make them better. For those out there who have a junk food addiction. Give this a try. Before you put a candy bar in your mouth, think about what you should be having instead, should you be eating a grapefruit or a banana?
