Indulge in Specific Foods — the Abs Diet Power 12

Most diet plans are based on fascism: always harbouring on what you can’t eat, instead of what you can, always harbouring the negativity right off the bat, no this, no that, no bread, no sugar, and you end up hearing “no” more than a 3-year-old in a shopping mall. Sure there are foods you should steer clear of like Tusshar Kapoor’s latest flick. But why harbour on them, when there are a plethora of food options that are available to us that are both healthy and great tasting?

Power Food List

These are 12 Types of Foods You Should Eat:-

Nuts (Almonds, walnuts and such)
Legumes (Beans and such)
Green leafy veggies (Spinach and such)
Double toned Dairy Products (yogurt and others)
Instant oatmeal (Non sweeten or the masala oat kinds)
Eggs whites
White meat (chicken or fish)
Peanut butter (ITC’s Sundrop is a brand easily available in India)
Olive oil (no ifs not but olive oils only)
Whole grains or multigrain (bread and cereals)
Protein supplement (whey)

Practical approach: Make sure, from now on every meal that you take, includes at the very least two foods from the power foods list or better still plan a diet around these power foods. The more you use these power foods, the better your results will be.

Don’t we all carve for something sweet, from time to time? Our ancestors probably would seek out berries and fruits, so as to satisfy their sweet tooth and get all the vitamins and minerals at the same time. Humans have not changed as much as we like to think, and to go up against our basic instincts would most likely lead to one thing and one thing only — dietary failure.

So how can one indulge oneself without blowing a day’s worth of calories on the methaiwala’s sweets, containing more sugar than Shah Rukh Khan has swagger? Simple stick to healthier alternatives like smoothies, with a combination of as many superfoods as possible, foods like peanut butter, oatmeal, milk and Whey protein, can be added. Whey protein comes in a lot of different flavours, which will help in satisfying your sweet tooth as well. Smoothies have an additional benefit as it takes up stomach space, this will help you avoid the highs and low you might experience when on a low Cal diet.
