Spice Up Fat Loss

I appreciate that the majority of people need their food to be interesting in order to eat it comfortably; there are people out there with a militant mind set who can cut it RIGHT down to the basics and stay satisfied because of the results they achieve.

Thing is, we don't all want to be fitness models, and I entirely understand that, so here's a list of "safe" sauces, dressings, herbs, spices and vegetables you can use to make your diet plan more interesting as you follow a healthy eating programme.

These options will NOT make you gain fat; go mad!

Sauces:

Passata sauce
Any Belle Vita pasta sauces
Any Da Vinci sugar free sauces
Any Chiman's sauce mixes
Any Walden farms sauces
Soy sauce

Dressings:

Balsamic vinegar
Malt vinegar

Spices:

All spices

Herbs:

Vegetables:

Even if you ARE lucky enough to possess the militant mindset needed to follow a strict diet plan exactly to the letter, here's why you should consider adding some of these options to your meals...

Why spice?

Spices have been proven to increase your metabolism when added to food which will further boost your fat burning capabilities in conjunction with a calorie restricted diet plan.

They are also fantastic for your cardiovascular system as they enhance blood flow and lead to improved circulation.

Do I really need dressings?

Well, what do you think? you might not NEED them but if they allow you to eat food types that you wouldn't ordinarily be able to swallow (sorry, terrible pun) then they're obviously a fantastic choice.

They WILL add calories, but not many, and if it means you can adhere to a plan that you'd otherwise find impossible then it's absolutely worth including them.

Salad and vegetables?

I think it goes without saying that we NEED to eat vegetables; they contain a plethora of vitamins and minerals (many of which our bodies don't produce naturally so we can only get them from external sources like these) as well as leading to proper intestinal function as a result of their high fibre content.

Salad choices like cherry tomato's and lettuce should be consumed for the same reason.

Herbs too?

Absolutely! they are a great way of adding flavour without extra calories; they also lead to improved digestion and include an array of minerals that, as with vegetables, provide the body with nutrients it can't otherwise attain.

So there we go, spice things up a little!
