Are you "addicted" to overly aggressive food tastes? Is this making you fat= ter over time? Let's take a look...
You've probably noticed that I like to talk about food... and healthy eatin= g in particular. I've always said that healthy eating does NOT have to be b= oring and bland, and if you know a few preparation tricks, can actually be = exciting and delicious.
Many people seem to falsely believe that they'll never be able to get lean = if they don't eat what is thought to be typical bodybuilder fare -- dry pla= in chicken breasts, plain broccoli, tuna fish, oatmeal, etc. If you've read= my newsletters for some time, you know that I'm against this type of borin= g menu, and like to give healthy meal ideas that have a little more appeal.
However, here is one of the most important things you can do for yourself i= f you want to eat healthier for life and make it a HECK OF A LOT easier to = get lean and stay that way permanently...
LEARN TO ADJUST YOUR TASTE BUDS TO ENJOY THE NATURAL UNADULTERATED TASTE OF= REAL FOOD... UNPROCESSED FOOD
This is one of the main problems that I see so many people face with being = able to control their eating... they have grown up with processed foods and= additives that are excessively AGGRESSIVE TASTES.
*So many foods have excessive added sugars, corn syrups, artificial sweeten= ers, etc *So many foods have excessive added trans fats, refined vegetable oils, and= other processed fats *So many foods are laden with excessive (and potentially dangerous) flavor = enhancers such as MSG and processed commercial salt
All of this massive onslaught of overly aggressive tastes have rendered mos= t people's taste buds senseless when it comes to the natural taste of real = unprocessed foods.
I was having brunch with a couple friends recently and I noticed one of the= m dumped this huge heaping spoonful of sugar into their coffee. I can't eve= n imagine being able to gag down a coffee that was so heavily loaded with s= ugar.
Even diet drinks (which I'd never drink because of the harmful artificial s= weeteners) are so excessively sweet these days, they're not even refreshing= .. I can't understand how people can drink something that tastes like pure s= yrup.
Here's a quick quiz to see if you're officially addicted to overly aggressi= ve tastes:
1. If given the choice, would you choose: a. sausage or hot dog b. steak, burger, or chicken breast
2. Do you prefer: a. sweetened tea or coffee (with added sugar or artificial sweeteners) b. unsweetened tea or black coffee
3. If given a choice for dessert, do you prefer: a. cake, pie, or ice cream b. a piece of fruit
4. If you like chocolate, do you prefer: a. milk chocolate b. extra dark chocolate
I could think of more, but that'll do for now... If you answered a's more t= han you answered b's, then you may be addicted to overly aggressive tastes,= and that could be making you pack on more lbs indirectly.
One of the main problems is that needing to eat aggressive tasting foods me= ans that all of that extra salt, MSG, added processed fats, sugars, and art= ificial sweeteners are playing havok with your hormones, and making you cra= ve extra calories that your body doesn't need.
Don't worry though, it CAN be easy to wean yourself off of these aggressive= tastes. I've successfully done it.=20
About 5 years ago, I'd have called you crazy if you said I'd ever be drinki= ng unsweetened tea or black coffee... I always needed to add a sweetener ba= ck then... but now, I actually PREFER to drink them both unsweetened.=20
What I did was just slightly reduce the amount of sweetener I added over ti= me, and eventually I got used to using none, and actually started to prefer= the natural taste of coffee or tea instead of just tasting the sweetness.
Now you can start to see how this all ties back into enjoying the REAL tast= e of food (or drink) instead of the ADDITIVES in food!
My recommendations for your leaner healthier body:
*Enjoy the taste of real meats, such as grass-fed steaks, fish, chicken bre= asts, pork tenderloin... instead of needing the aggressive tastes of the ad= ditives in sausages, hot dogs, deli meats, and other processed meats.
*Start to enjoy the taste of the actual coffee or tea instead of the taste = of the sugar or artificial sweetener.
*Start drinking water or unsweetened tea with meals (instead of soda or swe= etened drinks) at least every other day, and try to increase that to every = day eventually.
*Use herbs and spices in your cooking instead of heavy use of salt.
*Try to wean yourself off of cakes, pies, candies, and other sweets... Eat = mostly fruit or small amounts of super-dark chocolate instead.
*Avoid any and all deep fried foods and processed starch-based side dishes = - mac & cheese, scalloped potatoes, etc.
Even doing just some of these simple tips can help you to change your taste= s over time and help to overcome your addiction to the overly aggressive ta= stes that food marketers have pushed on us our entire lives.
I hope these ideas help you to eat healthier in 2009!
**One more note for today...
I wanted to congratulate all of my readers who have achieved phenomenal res= ults and changed their body and mind by using my TruthAboutAbs program. I g= et stories in all the time about these successes.
Anybody can get great results too... you're not "cursed with a slow metabol= ism"... that's a lame cop-out from people that are too lazy to take action = and change their body.
I'm really proud of one of my readers who just recently sent me his latest = pictures...
Check out the 3 pictures of Leith on this page showing his transformation:
>> http://www.truthaboutabs.com/testimonials.html
You can see that these aren't any kind of "staged" before/afters... these a= re simply his legit pics which even show the dates automatically from the c= amera readout.
These are the kind of results that you can get if you actually take action = on REAL workouts and REAL nutrition and stop searching for some kind of mir= acle pill (which will never exist).
