“5 Foods to Never Eat”

I have a very busy week as I help Craig Ballantyne finish up the 51 Intervals Manual and I’m heading to Denver later this week.

Today, I have a guest post from Nick Pineault, who I met recently but will be talking to him in person in Denver. I’ve talked with him in Google Hangouts and he’s got a cool Canadian/French accent.

So, when you read this… you have to read it in that accent.  That’s the rule.

Enjoy…

Want a diet that really works? Go simple!

I’ve always loved simplicity, and minimalism.

These days, I try to apply that approach to all areas of life.

As an entrepreneur, instead of having countless lists and tools to keep track of everything I need to work on every day, I use a simple post-it.

My training also reflects this simplicity. I’ve gone from trying every exercise on the planet in a single workout to sticking with fast, intense and effective workouts like Metabolic Resistance Workouts.

My suggestion is this: why can’t we make this whole “healthy eating” or “dieting” thing simple and minimalist?

Have you ever tried to follow meal plans and all that stuff? It may be a good fit for some people, but for me, it just feels like so much work.  In fact, I get a headache just thinking about it. My head hurts right now.  Ouch.

My approach to diet: Healthy Habits RedesignNOTM .

Here’s what this is all about: instead of trying to “follow” a diet and use complicated meal plans, start using more of the foods that are your fat burning ally, and less of the foods that are killing your results.

The problem is: most people don’t know exactly what foods they should be eating, and what foods that should be on their plate every single day.

Let me give you an example.

Are you a pasta lover? I know what you’re going through. At the same time, you’re trying to go low carbs AND you’re trying to keep eating what you love the most.

You end up eating too much pasta and killing your fat burning, or looking at the 5 noodles in your plate in despair.

Let me ask you a question: why on Earth aren’t you eating Shirataki noodles?

Don’t look at me with this look like I just spoke Chinese (even though I just did)… I’m very serious.

Shirataki noodles are made with a kind of ancient Chinese yam’s fiber.  These noodles contain virtually no carbs, no calories, and a ton of dietary fiber.

Yes, this means you can actually eat noodles every single day while dropping pounds and jean sizes. It’s no wonder they call it ”miracle noodles”.

This is what I call a simple dietary change that can make all the difference in your motivation and results.

Here’s a second example, for the desserts lovers out there.

Even when trying to lose weight, chances are that you’ll want to eat dessert one of these days. And in the worst case scenario, you’ll end up eating a whole pie because you’ve been trying to ignore your sweet tooth for so long.

The solution: baking with stevia, an all-natural sweetener, instead of sugar.

Yes, stevia can be a steep learning curve in the kitchen, because it’s 300 times sweeter than sugar (it’s easy to mess up your favorite brownies. But stick with me here.

If you master baking with stevia, and manage to make a sugar-free version of your favourite desserts, you’ll be able to satisfy your cravings way more often without destroying a week worth of efforts in 15 minutes of chocolate cake frenzy.

Again, that’s what I call freakin’ smart food choices. And simplicity.

Now it’s time for the shameless plug.

In my brand new ebook, Healthy or Not, I talk about Shirataki Noodles, Stevia, and dozens of other foods that should be on your fat burning arsenal, just next to Mike’s Workout Finishers.

I also point out which foods most people think are healthy, when in reality they can slow your progress if you eat them on a regular basis.

Because I love Mike’s stuff, I’m offering you guys a $20 off the regular price for the next 3 days.

Check out Healthy or Not here, and learn what 5 foods you should NEVER eat if you want to shed the pounds.

What do you think? What’s your trick to making smarter food choices? How do you keep your diet simple and stick to it?

Keep it simple,
