Lose Weight with Spelt

Lose weight with spelt, and find yourself totally satisfied, and all your hunger pains cured.  It is a magic remedy for any one who is on a diet, and having a hard time saying no to sweets or high calorie carbohydrates.  Especially if you pair it with a full fat item, like a protein or a healthy oil like olive oil.  The best way to lose weight with spelt is to first adopt it as a staple of your diet.

 

Lose Weight with Spelt with Knowledge

Food Choices Should Include Spelt

The best way to lose weight with spelt is to understand why this is a good staple to add to your shopping list.  Spelt, is a grain, and an ancient grain, that our ancestors grew instead of rice or wheat.  It is an easy grain to grow, but does not mass produce like rice, wheat, corn and barley.  The commercial parts of our food have taken the beauty of the spelt grain out of our food diaries, by only reflecting the bottom line of their share holders.  Looking past the needs of health, the food companies have lost their way, and we are suffering with increased heart issues, and weight gain.  You see, the liver cannot easily process the molecules and starches in most rice, wheat, corn and barley grains.   With the advent of knowledge, you will still be able to have your grain, but in a new way!

Lose Weight with Spelt by Changing Your Mindset

You may be initially sad with the loss of rice, corn, wheat and barley from your diet, but do not despair.  The most you are going to lose, is your body fat.  The increase in your metabolic rate will be more than you ever expected.  Spelt, like its sister grains, millet, and Kamut, are great energy providers, and can be eaten, and should be eaten with great proteins like EFAs, or Essential Fatty Acids, or oils like Olive Oil and Coconut Oil.  Not only should EFAs be consumed with Spelt, but also with more substantial proteins like eggs, organic beef and chicken, and low mercury fish like salmon.

Once you let go of your fear, and not let the change destroy your weight loss efforts, you will be on your way to seeing real results.  Often our minds are fixed on a taste, and we will not let go of what we think is the right taste.  For some, the change to a healthier diet is burdensome and time consuming!  They are not ok with the taste at first, and make the simple excuse that they do not like it.  But, if you open your mind, and remember, that the change to Spelt is only going to give your liver the best chance at fighting your fat, instead of being burdened by removing and dealing with corn and wheat chemicals, you will actually feel better and look better.

Spelt with Pesto

The process of change is scary, but it is an emotional and mental challenge.  Not a taste bud challenge.  Lose weight with spelt by cooking it, and using it the same way you would a roasted potato, a course of white rice, or a corn side dish.  It is a great way to fill your stomach, and provide excellent fiber and substance to your diet.

Why stop there?  You can use spelt in a mexican dish, instead of tortillas, and cook your spicy beans and chicken and spread them on top of your cooked spelt.  It is something you can make ahead of time, and quickly heat up, in a pinch!

The best thing about spelt is you do not get a gritty or strong taste, and it will become a great substitute to your mashed potatoes, your rice dishes, or your whole grain breads.  Anytime you are craving a chip, a french fry, or a corn muffin, take your cooked spelt out of the fridge, and heat it up in oil, add some veggies, and mix with spicy or sweetened honey.  Take your chinese recipes, and add spelt instead of rice, and your lemon chicken will reach new bounds.  Lose weight with spelt, by incorporating your favorite recipes with spelt
