Wat are some good foodz that help lose weight?

Answer 1

Healthy food for weight loss

Is it possible to eat more food and actually lose weight? Absolutely, if you eat more of healthy foods than empty calorie foods (junk food).

Not everyone realizes that you do not have to deprive yourself in order to lose weight. What you have to do is eat more of healthy foods, leaving less room for "bad" foods. If you eat healthy foods - meaning foods high in vitamins and nutrients and are flavorful - you will find that you want less of high calorie or empty calorie foods. Having a variety of foods that you like and want to eat makes it easier to maintain any changes you make to your diet.

When making any changes to the way you eat, do so slowly and don't criticize yourself if your changes take time to become a habit. Study after study has shown that making small changes is what counts. One change at a time will be easier to accomplish and stick with than making a lot of changes all at once. Every little change you make will bring benefits to your health and your waistline.

Here are some changes you can make one at a time that can give you quick weight loss results:

Eat breakfast

A lot of people skip breakfast. This is a big mistake if you are trying to lose weight. Studies show that those who do not eat breakfast will overeat later in the day. Also, eating breakfast gets your metabolism going, and so whatever is eaten in the morning is metabolized better. If you are not a breakfast eater, try a fruit smoothie or other nutritional shakes.

Drink water

Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Ice water is best because it will speed up your metabolism. Water is, of course, calorie free and flushes out fat. And lastly, drinking water about a half hour before eating will curb your hunger and will make it less likely that you will overeat.

Add vegetables

Adding vegetables to some of your favorite dishes is a good way to get in some extra servings of veggies every day. Some examples are: sauces, soups, omelets, sandwiches, and salads. Of course, vegetables make a great snack by themselves or dipped in low-calorie dressings.

Try to eat more salads

If you're anything like I used to be, as soon as I heard the word "salad," I would immediately think "boring!" That is until I figured out how creative one can be when making a salad. Try adding new vegetables that you haven't tried before or adding boiled eggs, strips of grilled chicken, cheese, and/or nuts. Keep fresh lettuce and spinach leafs on hand, and remember to go easy on the dressing or make your own healthy salad dressing. A healthy and great tasting dressing is mixed olive oil and lemon juice.

Answer 2

I disagree with the salad promoters - watch out for salads - most fast food salads have more fat than a Big Mac if you have the toppings and dressing that come with. Lettuce has little nutritional value ( romaine or dark green or red lettuces are better)
You still can't lose much weight unless you exercise no matter what you eat.

Really limit (or eliminate) your intake of fried foods, sugar and alcohol.
Cut back on fatty meats like beef and pork and cut back complex carbs like white bread and pasta - try whole wheat instead.

Water, veggies, fruit, nuts, whole grains, low fat dairy, fish and lean meat are all good to help lose weight. Happy dieting!

Answer 3

No food is going to help you lose weight, it's all about portion control, and calorie counting. You need to choose things that have a low calorie rating, and will fill you up, like raw vegetables and low-fat dairy products (i.e. yogurt, string cheese). There are some really good books out there that will help you judge how many calories are in a particular food, if you aren't sure. Take a trip to your local Barnes and Noble (or go there online, shipping is free on orders $25 or more! www.barnesandnoble.com) and browse the Wellness section. Good luck, you are taking a step in the right direction just by asking this!

Answer 4

Well, most of the time it's a matter of how foods are combined.. but there's a few that we know they have negative calories, like grapefruit and cauliflower... Best of all get yourself a Weight Watcher's Index on foods and their nutritional value, and you'll see what I mean, get the whole list.
In the mean time, here's a few tips:
- If nobody sees you when you eat, you won't gain any weight...
- If you stand when you eat you won't gain weight, cuz fat tends to rise at the top... (so it won't take your bottom for a top)
- They say "watch what you eat"... duh!!! never eat with your eyes closed!!!

Ok, Ok, I was kidding... get the index.

P. S. by no means go for the 'diet' labels, the sugar substitute they use is very addictive, and makes your body crave more carbs, which turn into sugar, and sugar into fat...

Plus, make sure you get 24 oz of dairy products in you every day!
