Diet foods?

Question

What type of foods should u eat while on a diet?

Answer 1

Well that really depends on the diet you're doing. Different diets require different foods. Try going to the Food Pyramid and enter in your information. It will tell you exactly what to eat and in what portions in order to be healthy. From there you can decide what foods to use to lose weight.

FYI though- Eggbeaters are good, celery, spinach, mushrooms. Gosh, I'm just not sure what to say because I'm not sure what type of diet you are considering though. Do you just want to lose some weight or are you trying to be sure it's healthy? You might try a nutritional supplement or something to agument your diet to ensure you get your nutrition. You can do this one of several ways. I personally use the Cambridge Diet because I don't have to count calories or anything. I get all of my daily nutrition, I lose weight and it's cheap. If you're not wanting to do a diet like that, but want to ensure nutrition and are willing to take a pill then JuicePlus is also an excellent source of nutrient. Regardless of what diet you choose to follow, pay attention the calories, FAT calories and fat and carbs consumed. Sometimes a low calorie food turns out to not be so great when you look at the fat calories and carbs.

Answer 2

Most people do best on a lower carb diet. HOWEVER, I'm not talking about eating tons of bacon, cheese, and steaks with artificial sweetener-laden desserts (like sugarfree jello), a la Atkins. I'm talking about a healthy, whole food, low carb diet. Make vegetables your primary carbohydrate. While you're dieting, eliminate all grains and starchy veggies (corn, potatoes).

But protein is essential to weight loss, too. Just choose the best quality meats you can afford. Free range chicken, turkey, and eggs (esp. the Omega 3 eggs) are your best choices. There are some good protein shake mixes on the market now (Goatein by Garden of Life is a great brand).

Aim for 100 grams of protein a day for weight loss (1 egg has 7 grams, a protein shake about 15).

The only fruit you should eat are berries--they are packed with antioxidants and fiber, but low in sugar. Strawberries are the best, followed by blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Mix some frozen berries into your protein shake. Yum!

And lastly, eat foods that give you pleasure--otherwise, you'll never stick to a diet!

Answer 3

A really good tip i read somewhere was to just cut out premade foods, While shopping walk around the outside of the store, most stores are set up so you can walk a circle from the entrance and you should only have to walk through Produce, meat, milk then the bread isle or something.. its a great tip, try not to go into the center isles for anything, unless you know exactly what your going for (like a certain seasoning or something) and dont even look at anything else on the way.

and try not to think it this as a diet, think of it as a lifestyle change.

Answer 4

Go to the grocery store. But anything you see with "South Beach Diet". They have microwavable meals, cereal, and just about anything you can think of and it's all healthy.

But the South Beach diet book to complete the program. It's really simple. You just buy the book (and read it of course) then buy the foods and you'll be loseing those pounds in no time!

Answer 5

A well balanced diet consists of 80% alkaline foods meaning fruits/vegetables and 20% acidic foods daily. However, you'll also need regular exercise (three/four times weekly 30 minutes each), and drink 8 glasses of purified water daily. However, I'll go one step further to show you the best and quickest way to lose weight so that your entire system will achieve a balanced pH and not be depleted of the essential minerals that it needs. Here's why.
As the typical American diet is mainly acidic, except for most fruits and vegetables, it is close to impossible for our body to attain the alkaline levels that spells good health without the proper nutrients. This being the case, it is very difficult to lose weight unless you monitor closely your body's pH. Let me explain.
An acid pH has considerable influence over the majority of weight problems, including Diabetes and Obesity. It seems that a habitually acid pH can directly cause immediate weight gain. Here's what happens when a system is too acid. A condition known as Insulin Sensitivity or Syndrome X results, which forces too much insulin to be produced, and the body is flooded with insulin so that it won't waste any calories, it diligently converts every calorie it can into fat.
It is thought that an acid pH immediately signals the powerful genetic response to an impending famine, directly interacting with the all important and very sensitive, Insulin- Glucagons Axis. This makes the body produce more insulin than usual, and in turn, produce more fat and store it. In general, the more insulin is available to the body, the higher the probability that fat will be produced and stored, rather than used and burned as energy.
Thus, an acid pH will probably alert the genetic response to famine, directing more insulin to be produced and storing more fat than usual. Conversely, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH, will be more likely to yield normal fat burning metabolic activity, making no demands on the body to overly produce insulin and make fat, allowing fat-weight to be burned and naturally lost. And, with a healthy pH, there's less likely to be any yo-yo effect, or rebounding from a diet with additional weight gain. As long as nutritional stores are maintained, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH allows fat to burn normally for energy, rather than being hoarded under the mistaken biochemical belief of an impending famine.
The best way, though, to drink 8 glass of water daily is to mix it with Xtreme X2O, a natural and organic, coral calcium with 70 trace minerals, which transforms the pH of the water beverage to 9.9 (highly alkaline)!
You may ask why not just drink plain water? The answer is: When you drink lots of water, all of 8 glasses daily, it does not have the essential minerals (calcium, magnesium with 70 trace minerals) that your body needs to elevate its pH and therefore, alkalize your body as the pH of plain water is rather low and very acidic (pH < 7.0). "Alkalinity" equals Oxygen and Oxygen = Good Health.

If you would like to know what your pH level is, let me know. For more info, check this site:

Thanks.

Answer 6

Boiled vegetables, Some cheese. A lot of water. Salads without seasonings.Yogurt. Lemon in warm water with a spoon of honey in the morning after getting up.

Answer 7

Anything you want...just small portions.
The rule of thumb though, to eat healthy, is to eat those things as close to natural as possible not processed, like fruits, vegatables, meats, dairy, grains, in small amounts.

Answer 8

Lean protein (chicken breast and turkey breast) veggies and go easy on the fruits. Also eat whole grain breads.

Answer 9

Dump dairy, for one. Forget all those commercials that say it helps you drop pounds - those where studies PAID FOR by the dairy industry. Duh! Actually, dairy will make you gain weight. I mean, it is meant to feed a baby that grows to 2,000lbs within the first year of life.....Yum...
