i have just started a diet and started to go to the gym 3 times a week?

Question

and swimming, what is some good food to eat aswell as fruit veg and salad whats tasty??

Answer 1

If you're looking to increase your muscle mass you will need to add extra protein to your diet - Try eating tofu (you can use it as a meat substitute in any meat recipe), beans, eggs if you're not vegan, and for convenience you might want to try some of the processed veggie foods like Quorn and soy mince (again, if you're vegan watch out as many of these contain eggs).

Make sure you eat plenty of nuts and seeds as well - they're a tasty snack and a great way to get some extra vitamins and healthy fats.

Answer 2

Are you just sick of the regular diet plans had been after the diet regime end the further pounds are just coming and coming soon after finish the diet regime? Are you experience the fact that when your entire body will get utilised to a diet regime then this diet plan turns into much less effective in excess of time because your entire body adjusts to compensate?

Answer 3

This is purely personal choice but I have found that it is good to start your day with fruits (if you are not diabetic...), eat carbs for lunch and protein for dinner. I have found this to be a workable way to get my "daily recommended portions" and not be stuffed. If you work out in the evening, you might want to wait to eat your dinner until after the gym as your body will appreciate the protein/muscle building foods at that time more. Good luck.

So you are starting out on a new lifestyle that will hopefully keep you healthy and prolong your life. Great! Eat only foods that you can make. Buy some bananas, apples, pears, etc. and put in your kitchen to snack on when you are hungry (put all process foods out in the trash - not in your body!). Then get granola or oatmeal for breakfast, whole wheat bread and peanut butter and jelly for lunch, and stock up on healthy soups to go along with the sandwiches. For dinner get pasta, brown rice, lentils, beans, tomatoes diced and pasta sauce for dinner options. Stock up on vegetables for stirfrys with ginger and garlic sizzled in the oil first before the vegetables to coat them as you saute them. Cook the rice as you make the stirfry. Pasta and tomato sauce are an old standby, but you can add green bell pepper, mushrooms, and saute onions in the sauce. Make enough rice the night before and then make a rice pilaf with oil spices and maybe add a nut (walnuts or almonds are best). Chili is quick and easy. Saute onions with cumin, then add the tomatoes diced, three different kinds of canned beans (drained and washed), frozen corn, and cook for 5 minutes to get everything warm, then add cilantro and any hot sauce. Bon apetite!

Answer 7

Anything grilled is good, buy a griddle pan and use a tiny bit of olive oil and grill fish/chicken/steak etc also when the meat is nearly done add some veg (peppers onion etc) add some flavout through seasoning - garlic, chilli meat/fish salts etc and you will have a low fat tasty meal! If you can have carbs then add some cous cous which is a good filler but low in fat (dont add butter or oil) but add flavours such as sun dried tomatoes etc

Answer 8
