    Introduction

    Good Diets For Weight Loss

    This book is all about giving you a big selection of recipes for losing weight.  The two sections in this book, the clean eating diet and the quinoa cookbook contains recipes that are highly nutritious calling for ingredients of healthy whole foods of fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean meats.  The clean diet is foods that are free of additives, dyes, artificial flavors, preservatives, and free from saturated fats and unhealthy while flours and sugars.  The quinoa portion contains recipes that are also considered great for a clean eating diet.  Quinoa is considered a super food and is packed with nutrients.  All the recipes in this section contain quinoa.

    Making the Weight Loss Dieting a Success

    Certainly, you hold some of the incentive for successful dieting in your hands with this book. You have enough recipes here to cover several weeks worth of menu planning without repeating recipes.  Here are other things you can do to make the weight loss diet a success.

    Make it a Lifestyle Change

    If you are changing your diet to lose weight then you are bound to have issues with what you currently eat.  You may have gained the weight because of your current diet because perhaps you eat junk food.  Maybe you do not exercise.  Whatever the reason you gained the weight and now find you need to go on a diet to lose it.  If you want to diet to lose the weight and keep it off you need to make the dieting a permanent lifestyle change and not just short term fix.

    If you go back to your old eating habits after you lose the weight you will find the weight will come back.  In order to maintain weight loss you must make the dieting change a lifestyle change and stick with it.  Make that commitment now and you will have success.

    How to Make the Dieting Lifestyle Change a Success

    If you are really serious about making this change, losing the weight and keeping the weight off you need to first deal with the reason you put the weight on in the first place which are your eating habits.  If you can successfully wean from the foods that make you fat before you start the diet you have a better chance of sticking with the diet indefinitely.

    Keep a food journal so you can see where you are not eating right.  By knowing how many times a day you skip nutritious food you can then know what you need to do to wean from the bad eating habits.  Once you have a handle of your eating habits you can then work to turn them around to better eating habits.  It takes a good three weeks to make and break physical habits.  If you want to break the junk food habit, wean from the junk food over a three week time span.  Replace one snack or meal of junk food every three to five days and repeat by adding another snack or meal until you have reached all of them.  This process should take about three weeks to complete.  Once you do this, you should not be plagued with withdrawal or horrendous cravings for the junk.  If you do experience it, maybe allow yourself one junk food snack a week, if you behave the rest of the time. 

    Did you know that if you do this eventually your body will crave the nutritious foods more.  Your body will stop craving the junk food altogether.  You will be able to make this a lifestyle change without much struggle.

    Weight Loss Dieting and Exercise

    Dieting works even better to help with weight loss if you are exercising too.  Exercise is so beneficial to the body.  With exercise, you can boost your metabolism, which will give you additional energy.  If you are physically active, you will lose the weight faster.  Physical activity helps to burn calories, which helps to melt the body fat.  This is your goal so you should seriously consider adding exercise to your weekly routines.

    Exercise needs to occur at least three times a week or every other day to help with weight loss.  That is not a huge commitment, but the impact of such a commitment is very beneficial.  You will lose the weight and fat much faster than with dieting alone.  Exercise does not need to be complicated either.  You can do something leisurely like a stroll in the park, as long as you are moving for thirty minutes at a time.  Eventually you may wish to pick up intensity.  The more intense the more weight you will lose, but only in moderation.  You want to keep it at half an hour and every other day for a while.  You can do any kind of exercise you like; you can run, jog, ride a bike, take a swim, do aerobics, join a gym, and lift weights, or even dance.

    The best thing about physical activity is if you do it enough you will experience the release of endorphins.  This is also known as the runner's high, but you can achieve it with any physical work out if you stick with it long enough.  Normally a half an hour will help you to reach this.  Endorphins are our body's way of giving us a natural high, a mood booster, depression lifter.  Plus the added benefit of exercising, the more you do it the more energy you have and you will want to keep doing it.  Exercise is as addictive as eating.  You will crave the physical activity.  The opposite is true too.

    If you are living a sedentary life then you probably have neither the desire nor the energy to get up and move about and are physically active.  This is not good for your health though.  Get up and get to moving.  You will be glad you did.  If you do this, you will boost your metabolism, so go ahead and get up, and exercise.

    Section 1: Clean Eating

    Have you ever wished that someone would write a cookbook that gives just the facts?    All diets put an emphasis on their particular type of foods and how they are beneficial, but many real factors are often eliminated, in order to promote a specific diet.  Look no further.  The Clean Cook Book is designed to present not only facts about the food you eat, but give you real choices in giving your body the cleanest foods possible, and obtainable.  Learn how flour, sugar, bread, and milk, are not always what they appear, and can contribute to a decrease in the function of your system. 

    In addition, discover how processed and genetically modified products have no real nutrition in the anatomy of humans, but were simply created to preserve and extend shelf life.  Once you realize how one, two, or all of these foodstuffs can play a part in limiting a long and fruitful life, the real fun begins.  Recipes that are unique, tasty, and great for your body, are categorized and presented
