foods and weight loss

okay quick question. if you eat basically the same things everyday then will it slow your weight loss? or do you have to eat different kinds of foods to spark it up?

Your body doesn't know that you're eating chicken. All it knows is that it is protein.

Your body doesn't know that you're eating butter. All it knows is that it is fat.

Basically your body will use what you eat as 3 types of "fuel" or energy: carbohydrates, protein, and fat. As long as you're getting energy, it doesn't care what you eat. YOU, on the other hand, might go crazy if you ate the same things day in and day out! The only problem with eating the same foods over and over again is boredom, and boredom can lead to dissatisfaction and a plunge into the abyss of carb-dom.

If you enjoy eating what you're eating, more power to you! It's important to ENJOY the foods you are eating. If you're bored and want to spark things up, try Linda's site:

Besides potential boredom the only problem I see eating the same thing day after day is that you have to make sure those foods have the all the nutrients you need.
