In my previous post, I talked about the enhanced detoxification experiences you should be aware of when you undergo a detox diet plan of fruits on an empty stomach in the morning and the proper food combining of proteins/vegetables in one meal or vegetables/starches in another for optimized digestion in your pursuit for rapid weight loss. I mentioned also that the unpleasant symptoms like frequent bowel movements should not be mistaken as diarrhea and that it is part of your body’s natural colon cleansing process. In this post I am cover in detail a very effective plan for a properly combined meal for those victims of fast food addiction.
Even I myself become susceptible to the unhealthy cravings of cheat meals like pizza, fried chicken, chow mein and Carnitas (greasy fried pork) burritos. Despite these occasional urges, I will show you how you can continue to have these cheat meals once in a while without suffering from the after effects of sluggishness that accompanies rapid weight gain.
In my previous posts, I spoke extensively of why mixing proteins and starches is forbidden due to their digestive impairment characteristics. Hydrochloric acid that is required to digest proteins is arrested in the presence of starches. Alkalies that are needed to digest starches becomes dysfunctional in the presence in proteins.
Right now you are wondering how you can eat a properly combined meal especially if you eat out a lot. The typical food choices you are presented with all the time are sandwiches, salads, soups, pasta dishes, burritos, hot dogs, hamburgers, and etc., regardless of what ethnic origin those foods are tied to.
Sandwiches, hot dogs, and hamburgers fall under the category of an improper food combining due to the protein starch combination. Pasta can be ordered without meat. I have had vegetarian burritos on occasion and meatless noodle soups. Rarely do you see people ordering a vegetarian sandwiches because it is not very appealing to the eyes. Can you picture a sandwich without meat? A sandwich filled with tomatoes and lettuce would make the bread incredibly soggy. And the fact that restaurants charge you the same price for it as a meat-filled sandwich is highway robbery. Even charging you 50 cents less still puts you, the occasional vegetarian sandwich eater, at a disadvantage.
I have had a vegetarian sandwich on a few occasions and believe me a soggy sandwich is not appealing to the taste buds. Some restaurant chefs have tried to resolve that with toasted breads, but you still end up with a soggy toasted sandwich. That is why it will be nice if they came up with a toasted bread pocket that would solve the problems of sogginess facing vegetarian sandwiches. Kind of like a pitta pocket but in a toasted bread form. I know it is wishful thinking on my part. A toasted bread pocket tastes a lot better to me than a pitta pocket. Maybe it is because I love the texture and crunchiness of toasts. Please let me know if some major bread manufacturer decides to make it. I will be the first one to buy it. Stuffing tomatoes, lettuce, avocados, bean sprouts, and an assortment of vegetables into a toasted bread pocket along with a huge servings of mayonnaise already have me salivating at the thought of it.
Now let’s get back on track and talk about how you can plan your fast food meals around the principles of proper food combining as part of your effective weight loss strategy. Let’s say you have your generous helping of fruits in the morning. And by lunch time, you are already craving a burrito with or pizza. In this example neither food choices are vegetarian.
This is a common tendency in the beginning stages of your cleansing program. It is kind of like going for days without food and then you have this insatiable hunger for some real food. It is as if you were held prisoner to a room full of fruits for one day and then the next day you are released to have whatever you want. I know this sounds like I am going overboard with this . But you will know what I am talking about if you had fasted for days on liquids ALONE. When you come out of a liquid fast, you start going on a binge eating craze with your favorite food.
But going without your usual breakfast of Egg McMuffin, bacon and eggs is not that bad compared to a week long fast. Come on now. You can do it. You cannot possibly go hungry on a morning fruit fast. If you are craving heavy foods in mid morning, just do your best to save it till lunch time. Then you can breathe a sigh of relief. LUNCH TIME AT LAST!!!! Once you develop the habit of the morning fruit fast, you will gradually begin to crave healthier foods.
Now lunch time comes around and you happen to be at Togo’s, McDonald, or Round Table Pizza. You are now wondering how on earth can you plan your fat-burning meal around these fast food restaurants. I know most of you heavy meat eaters do not like the vegetarian Pizza. And cheese, in case you didn’t know, is very hard to digest in the presence of starches and should therefore be eaten with vegetables like salads, etc. I know in the beginning it is incredibly difficult to make that transition to vegetarian from meat-atarian. Or transitioning from a meat/starch combo to a meat/vegetable only combo.
So here is your game plan for everyday for the rest of your life if you can manage it. If you decide to have pizza for that day, I would highly recommend that you order a big plate of salad prior to eating your slice of pizza. The water content in salads will keep you energized and fill your stomach with nutrient rich digestive enzymes necessary to digest the energy-depriving pizza. And by the time you are done, you will not be able to eat as much pizza. Despite not eating a perfectly healthy meal, you, at least, made a minimal effort to include high water content vegetables to counter the effects of the toxins in junk food. And pizza is junk food by the way.
Let’s say you crave a hamburger. Have a big bowl of salad prior to eating the hamburger. And luckily, most burger fast food joints do carry salads as most of them are jumping on the eat-healthy promotional bandwagon to save themselves of any ounce of dignity for being a regular contributor to people’s rising cholesterol problems. Some of you may say what happens if you decide you crave a hot dog at Wienersnitzels. And correct me if I am wrong, I don’t believe that joint carries any salads at all. If they do, I will be darn surprise. It is almost like going to Basket Robins to order a salad to go with the ice cream.
So prior to eating your hot dog at Wienersnitzels, start off with big bowl of salad. This type of eating habit is just a start to a new beginning of your pursuit of health and rapid weight loss without the need of any diet pills or appetite suppressants that do nothing more than weaken your immune system. I cover more on that topic in a later post.
So the main objective of this post is to not take away the foods you crave and love, but to develop the habit of moderating portion sizes by starting off your meal with a healthy bowl of salad. That is what I always do when I crave an incompatible meal like a meat sandwich. (Remember starches and meats eaten together retards digestion).
My friends occasionally have barbecues, and that is the only time when I really eat a lot of meat. I am not really big meat eater. But every time before I sample their delicious chickens, hot dogs, and other delicious meats on the grill, I always start my off with a big bowl of salad or steamed vegetables. This is an example of how I occasionally deviate from the proper food combining strategy.
Just realize that developing healthy eating habits for maximum weight loss is an art that takes time to master. By taking baby steps, one day at a time, you will gradually develop a craving for more healthier food and better eating habits, all of which will transform to high levels of fat-burning energy.
In this post I only covered the lunch aspect of your eating plan. In the next post I will discuss your eating plan for the dinner side of the equation. I can guarantee you that if you follow these eating strategies in any way that suits your comfort zone, you will see the dramatic changes in your overall health and your physique in terms of inches off your waist.
