[Yakson House] How to lose weight while eating more food
One of the most common pitfalls to weight loss is an all-or-nothing approach aimed at
dropping pounds in a hurry.
When you start an unrealistic diet plan, you quickly learn that such diets lead to nagging
hunger and cravings for forbidden foods. After a few weeks of this, most people return
to their old eating habits, complaining that "diets don't work." But what if you could
actually lose weight by eating more food simply by making a few changes to your
everyday food choices?
Here are seven choices that will help you lose weight while eating more food and will
satisfy your taste buds at the same time.
1. Whole grain foods
Whole grain foods such as whole wheat, brown rice, whole grain breads, cereals, and
waffles are a much better choice than refined white foods because they're generally
higher in fiber, more nutritious, and more filling.
2. Foods high in water
Foods high in water are naturally low in calories because of their fluid content.
Fruits, vegetables, soups, gelatins, and hot cereal are 80% - 95% water, while
foods like yogurt, puddings, eggs, pasta, beans, and seafood are 60% - 75% water.
3. Lower fat foods
Lower fat foods can really add up to calorie savings because fat has more
than twice the calories of protein or carbohydrates. And when you take out
some, but not necessarily all of the fat, foods still taste great.
Light mayonnaise, light salad dressings, and lower fat diary are all easy ways to cut
calories while satisfying your taste buds.
4. Dips and Spreads
Dips and spreads can do serious damage. They can be addictive, and when you add in
the calories from the chips or other dippers, they add up quickly. Two tablespoons of
French onion dip or Cheez Whiz have 60 - 90 calories. But if you switch to salsa,
hummus, or fat free bean dip you can enjoy more satisfying dips for 15- 50 calories per
2 tablespoons and are more likely to eat a reasonable portion.
Be healthy while eating delicious food!
