How to Super Charge Your Diet by Jason Reischutz

How to Super Charge your Diet

What I am going to tell you is some very powerful information. I am going to show you how to make YOUR recipes super healthy like mine. You like eating you favorite recipes, so you should continue to do so. Most recipes can be made healthier.

1. Ratio is more important that quantity. I do not count calories. I want you to make sure that meat is less than one third of your plate and fruits and vegetables are at least 2/3 of your plate. Meat and protein slow down digestion; you need fiber and carbohydrates to keep your digestion moving.

2. Mix proteins and sugars. This will help to keep your blood sugar level. Blood sugar affects energy levels and mood as well as hunger. For example if you eat an orange by itself it will cause your blood sugar to spike. You will have a burst of energy but then be tired a while later. But if you eat a handful of nuts with it will keep your blood sugar level. If you find your self always eating or craving sweets eating some protein with the sweets will reduce this tendency.

3. Try to avoid fats that are solid at room temperature. Your body has trouble processing these fats; they clog you arteries and make you fat. Examples of fats you should try to avoid are lard, margarine, and butter. However you can eat as much good fat as you like. Replace those saturated fats like lard and butter with good fats like olive and vegetable oil. The foods will taste the about the same but be much better for you.

4. As I have mentioned before be careful with packaged foods. Read the ingredients and select the ones with the least chemicals. A lot of things that you buy packaged can be made without chemicals at home easily. See the back issues for my quick easy hummus, salsa, and guacamole recipes. Remember, when you make something yourself you know exactly what’s in it.
