A Good Diet Plan

A Good Diet Plan can be challenging for an over the road driver. It's so easy to make excuses to justify unhealthy choices. Fast food is at every truck stop and more and more fast food restaurants are starting to provide truck parking just to make it a little more convenient for us to indulge in the cholesterol and fat laden, life shortening, tasty, appetite busting menu.

A good diet plan could include fast food joints. There is usually salads and grilled chicken available which would fit into a good diet plan, but that's not what we are going to order when we visit. We get the supa dupa extra large fry and coke with a triple grease burger, extra cheese!

(lol,I am trying to make you feel guilty like me!)

Truth is 80% of us need to make dramatic improvements in our diets. A good diet plan is how to loose belly fat, get more energy, get better sleep, drop pants sizes, and increase the length and quality of life. You deserve these things and so does your family.

But What's A Good Diet Plan?

"What is a good diet plan?" That's a popular question. You will hear different people with different opinions, especially when attempting to accomplishing specific goals whether it's losing weight, losing fat, losing pants size, etc.

Generally speaking, for overall improvement in health a good diet consists of quality nutritional foods with low saturated and trans fat. It should also be high in protein and fiber and consist of plenty of water.

Take a good multi-vitamin that includes essential minerals like selenium and vanadium such as GNC's Mega Men Multi-Vitamin.

Throw in complex carbohydrates like sweet potatoes and you are off to a very healthy start and a decent answer to common question, "what is a good diet?"

Let me break it down for you.

Eliminate Simple carbs like white rice and white potatoes.
Replace with brown rice and sweet potatoes.

Eliminate flour based products like white bread
Replace with Whole wheat bread (I choose no bread until I reached my target weight)

Eliminate fried foods
Replace with baked or broiled or grilled

Eliminate sugars

Don't consume products high in saturated and trans fat. It's good to consume a certain amount of mono and poly unsaturated fats. (Brings down bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol)

Eliminate sodas
Replace with water

Use butter not margarine

use real regular mayo
not light or diet and not miracle whip

Stay away from these ingredients and types of food for a good diet plan

hydrogenated oils
highly processed foods
foods with preservatives
refined sugars
