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.

There is really no "best food" to eat while loosing weight. Drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, take a multi Vita. make sure you eat lo fat meats, cut out the fat, get and I do mean get lots of exercise (activity) and make sure you get the amount of rest you need each night, experiment with new foods and dishes, It helped me a lot to cut out a lot of caffeine and cut back on my salt. So I use spices and condiments to flavor up my food. But most of all know that you are worth it. and that you are going to do it.

Take your favorite fruits, honey, 1 to 2 cups of milk, vanilla and a blender. Blend. Drink that throughout the morning. Water or another smoothie throughout the day. Later a small dinner and an hour or so later a small desert with tee. I lose weight that way. Plus most important cardio excercise. Most americans emphansize on what diets they tried and failed. They never say I tried this or that excercise video/program and failed, because they want to lose weight by not doing anything but sit on their fat butts! So get moving and you will start losing!

celery, it has negative calories - it uses more calories to eat it than it adds to your body! snack on it with some low fat dip if yu don't like the taste of it and that should be quite healthy. and lots of fruit as ppl said before!

also, make your own homemade veg soup. it's dead easy, filling, full of good vitamins and tastes great. plus you can keep it in the fridge for a few days too. and its very cheap - just need a leek, carrots, veg stock cubes, salt and pepper and a packet of broth mix (barley, lentils etc). its really good for you and you can change the type of soup and experiment with different kinds!

Cooked high fiber cereal such as rolled oats or wheatena or oat bran fraction, with non-fat dry milk instead of "real" milk ...

Plenty of protein. Fiber expands and keeps you feeling full. Good for your digestive system. Nearly without fat and sugar.

Soup and Salad. But it doesn't have to be a plain salad. You can add a couple of things into the salad to spice it up!
