The Power Of Three
The Power Of Three For Easy Weight Loss That You
Won’t Believe!
Believe it or not, there is a weight loss tip that will surprise
you. Instead of telling you to eat less, this one actually
has you eating more. Even more unbelievably, it works! By
adding three times the nutrients to everything that you snack
on, this is a great way to help you to regulate your eating.
So, you have been trying hard to reduce your fat and calories,
and to eat a healthier, more balanced diet. But it is for
sure that one day you will slip up, and find yourself reaching
for the chips or chocolate. We’re all human, and the
low calorie diets really are restrictive and leave you craving
calories. And when the craving comes, it is just hard to fight
it off.
The ‘power of three’ diet has this advice to
give: don’t resist. Take the chips of chocolate when
the craving strikes. The trick is, add an equivalent size
of a fruit or vegetable, and an equivalent helping of protein.
So, you can have an ice cream cone, for example, and at the
same time, you also have to eat an apple and a small piece
of cheese, tofu or chicken.
Basically, you can have your favorite snack foods , or whatever
you want to it. The tip is, keep it a balanced meal. The same
goes for your actual meals, ensure that they have at least
three components, and that they include a fruit or vegetable
and a concentrated source of protein. As long as you have
those two, it doesn’t matter much what the remaining
third of your meal is, you can have pasta, dairy, bread or
just whatever you want!
So how does this diet help you to lose weight when it indeed
seems like you are eating a lot more. But studies show that
this plan actually does help you lose weight or maintain weight
loss, for several reasons.
First of all, most fattening snack foods are high in glycemic
index, which means that your body responds by releasing insulin
which eventually leads to fat storage and weight gain. When
you add a protein and eat it at the same time, which can lower
or stabilize your glycemic index. In this way, it helps to
neutralizes the harmful effects of the other food. This is
something that even the Zone eating plan supports. They say
that, even though simple sugars are not recommended, if you
must eat one, then you need to add a protein. Just take it
as harm reduction.
There’s another reason why adding both a fruit or vegetable
and a protein is effective. If you eat three different types
of food every time you eat, you can’t help but balance
your diet. The fact is, people who eat a balanced diet are
seldom overweight. It’s a great way to give what your
body needs, and at the same time reduces cravings and urges
to snack. If your diet is balanced, you will be healthy and
you can control your eating easily.
Eventually, if you eat three types of food each time you
have the urge to snack, chances are, you won’t need
to snack as much. In fact, you this transformation might just
take a few days for you to see the results. On the first day
that you follow this plan, you may snack as much as usual,
and therefore eat three times as much. But, you need not worry
since it won’t last. The next day, you may only feel
the urge to snack half as many times, because you are already
so well fed and satisfied. Slowly, you can finally stick to
a healthy diet most of the time. That’s when the pounds
really start come off.
Believe it or not, the ‘power of three’ system
of eating has worked for many people. By temporarily eating
more rather than trying to eat less, you can stop feeling
deprived and start being really well-fed. And it won’t
take you long to establish much healthier eating patterns.
