The summer is almost here! For you to be lean, we’ve already covered “the single thing you can do to lose weight”. Now we are going to show you what to include in your grocery list for the ultimate goal – be the leanest version of yourself this summer. We have put together the essential foods that are a must in your grocery shopping list.
– Egg Whites: With over 3.5 grams of protein, Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin D, Е, B12 and 0 grams of fat ,the egg whites are a staple.
– Chicken: 100 grams of chicken meat (no skin) contains 29 grams of protein, 4.33 g. of glutamine and 7.41 grams of fat. We recommend not to fried it. Instead go for chicken breasts in the oven
–Beef: Beef is an important part of a clean eating diet. A lot of vitamin B12, no carbs, 11 grams of fat and around 30 grams of protein. If you prefer minced meat, we recommend you go to your local butcher and pick the meat you like. Your butcher will mince it in front of you. That way you can be sure what you are having.
–Nuts: High in fibre and protein most of the nuts are suitable for the cutting season, especially raw and unflavoured walnuts, almonds, pistachios and cashew.
– Broccoli: High in vitamin A, B, C, and over 3.3 grams of fibre (per 100 grams. ) The broccoli are a must if you want to be lean and shredded. Broccoli boosts your immune system because it is full with vitamin C. But perhaps the most beneficial fact is that broccoli is considered one of the most filling side dishes.
–Beans: Beans have been a favourite weight loss food for quite some time and for a good reason. With 24 grams of protein and around 25 grams of fibre per 100 grams a cup of beans will fill you up, so you can work out properly and not feeling hungry or guilty.
-Water– Water is essential! It removes away the toxins from your body, it regulates your cooling system and forms around 70% of your muscles. Water is the source of life, and if you want to be lean and healthy- drink water, not soft drinks, water!
-Grapefruit– Grapefruit has a role in your weight loss diet. There are even diet plans based around the grapefruit. It’s not necessary to build your diet 100% on grapefruit but it’s a must to have some occasionally. Grapefruit is high in Vitamin C, has low glycaemic Index (glycaemic index determines to what extent the sugar content of the blood will increase after eating a particular food) and also Improves digestion.
-Tuna– The meat in tuna is one of the richest in protein, in comparison not only with other fish but also a lot of mammals. It is high in vitamins B3, B6 and B12 and also Phosphorus, Magnesium and Iron. If you are outside, hungry and in a hurry, you can get a tuna sandwich with whole grain bread to go and stay with a clear conscience.
-Cottage cheese– 100 grams of fat free cottage cheese is high in Calcium, contains 20 grams of protein and it is low in carbs and fat. Most of that protein is casein, which makes it great for a last meal, before going to bed. Because of that, cottage cheese is a popular product in diets both for bulking and cutting season. Keep in mind that cottage cheese is perishable. So buy often and in small quantities.
Remember, every day you are getting closer to your goals. They might not come as quickly as we want them to, but they will come. Just remember: if you cheat on your diet or skip a training session just continue by schedule. You haven’t ruined your plan and your progress is intact, as long as you stay motivated and positive.
