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

You don't necessisarily need to eat 3 meals a day, but rather the amount of calories required for your body (which could be 4-5 small meals or so on). You could eat 1 big meal and eat enough calories for the day, so it really depends on what you are eating. As for skipping meals, I see the logic you have but it's not correct. If you don't give your body the calories it needs, what it does is go into "starvation" mode. This means that your body will start to store everything you eat (because it doesn't know when it's getting food next) instead of burning it. This causes you to gain weight. Additonally, by eating small meals throughout the day, you foce your metabolism to work hard and constantly burn. When you skip meals your metabolism slows down and stops burning as effectively. Again, causing you to gain weight. When you do eat a bit more, or return to eating a healthy amount of calories, you will gain weight as you've trained your body to such few amount of calories and you've slowed down your metabolism. So, eat properly and exercise. It's the only effective way to lose and maintain your weight.

Answer 3

ummm pasta is definitely not the best..unless it's like wheat pasta or something.. the best meals would have a good portion of fiber and protein in it.. fruits and veggies with every meal is good. Avoid anything fried... Chicken/Turkey is a lot better for you than beef.. I'd say the perfect dinner would be a piece of grilled chicken breast, broccoli, and maybe some beans..the healthiest beans are kidney beans :-) they have the most fiber. a good snack would be yogurt, granola, and fruit mixed :-) It's YUMMY too! Oatmeal is a good breakfast.. along with some citrus juice (grapefruit is the best)... Salads before lunch and dinner are great :-) avoid soups that are not broth-based.. (creamy soups have a lot more cals than clear soups).. Spicy foods boost the metabolism... If you have a sandwich, turkey and chicken are the best on it, light mayo if any, mustard is a better choice.. on WHOLE wheat bread... Anything white isn't that great for you (white bread, white rice, potatoes) Potatoes are OKAY if you keep the skin on 'em (and eat the skin).. cause the skin has a whole bunch of nutrients in it.. Unsweetened applesauce has HALF the cals in it.. so if you want applesauce, pick unsweetened (it tastes better anyway..) :-)

Anyway, I hope I helped :-) Good luck!!

Answer 4

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.

You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didnt get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.

It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.sexyjese.com - it will blow your mind.
