Fast Guide To Food For Weight Loss

By Nea Brown


It is easy to find information on weight busting products, amazing diet fads and ingredients to help you shed pounds. Unfortunately, often times, this information is being offered by someone with a distinct commercial interest and a miracle cure to sell. The best thing to do then, if you want to know more about the right food for weight loss, is to stick to the facts.

Best then to stick to facts and figures regarding the foods which will bring down your weight and this guide can help. Here presented are some of the most useful foods for tipping the scales in your favor. It is going to be up to you how you try to build your diet around them but adding them to your regular food intake is always advisable for slimmers.

Eggs are a great starting point for those looking to lose some pounds. People who eat eggs in the morning, instead of toast, bagels, cereal or any other carbohydrate laden food, will stay full for longer. Carb based foods leave you hankering for a snack soon after. Eggs won't do that.

Green tea is another excellent choice for those looking to shed the pounds. Not only does the complex mixture of antioxidants in it speed up your metabolism, thus letting it convert food to energy much faster, but it also helps lower cholesterol. Next time you take a coffee break, consider fixing yourself a green tea instead.

Lunchtime means sandwiches for many of people and this often does the most damage when they're trying to get in shape. Bread, salty meat, dressing, condiments and whatever else you layer into your favorite midday meal all add pounds to your figure. Switching to soup, therefore, is a smart move. Soup will fill you up just as much as a sandwich with nothing like the same level of fat content.

Another quick replacement job can be done by using cinnamon as a sweetener instead of sugar. It's a delicious natural ingredient which will help you get over those insulin spikes you get after a large meal which make you fiend for a desert. Needless to say it is far less destructive to your diet than sugar.

Our next tip is one which should be exercised cautiously. Really it is only for the snackers amongst you - those people who just can't get through the day without a quick bite between meals. Nuts are a far healthier and less fattening alternative to crisps or cookies should you need a snack. That does not mean that you should add lots of nuts to your diet if you do not snack, as they still add fat. It just means that if you have to snack, nuts are the best option.

At the center of any conversation about fat burning food is fruit. Adding more fruit to your diet is always sage advice, for your mood, for your digestive system and for your waistline. The best of all for purely weight loss purposes are probably pears. They have plenty of fiber and can fill you up for a long time. Apples and grapefruit are also well worth eating.

Perhaps the thing to keep most in mind when you start searching for food for weight loss is that losing weight is not the only goal of rearranging your diet. Remember to stay healthy. Losing pounds is no good if you are sapped of energy all the time as a result.
