The Best Information On Food For Weight Loss

By Nea Brown


The internet is packed with all kinds of information and hype surrounding miracle diets, slimming pills and short cuts to getting in shape. While much of this is useful, a fair slice of it is misinformation and delivered by people with a product to sell. In order to make sure you don't get duped by an overzealous marketer's views on a fad product, it's best to seek independent advice on the best food for weight loss.

This guide is a good starting point. This will present the top foods which help your body fight fat and tell you why and how they do this. How you decide to work this into your own diet is up to you but reading this will put you in the right track to successful slimming.

The protein packed egg is a good starting point. A plate of scrambled eggs before you get to work in the morning will give you much more and longer lasting energy then a pile of toast or a cream cheese bagel. As well as stopping you from snacking pre-lunch it will add far less inches to your waist line.

Most breaks we take during the day are either complemented by tea or coffee. Switching to green tea is a great option to choose instead as it speeds the rate of your metabolism, allowing you to convert food to energy much quicker. Also the complex cocktail of vitamins, antioxidants and other good stuff in a cup of green tea lowers your body's cholesterol.

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.

If you're the kind of person who likes to sprinkle sugar on their snacks, the idea of switching cold turkey to plain, unsweetened treats might seem like a sad one indeed. Here is where cinnamon comes in handy. When you've just eaten a meal, your insulin spikes which is why you often find yourself hankering for something sweet to help it go down. Cinnamon helps control this urge and is much less fattening than sugar.

Though there is no argument that nuts are fattening, they are still great for getting slim. If you regularly snack on chips or cookies between meals, switching to nuts will help lower your weight. Nuts are far less fattening than most other snack foods.

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.

All of the weight loss in the world however does not make up for a healthy diet. When eating food for weight loss don't end up cutting out the food you need for health and energy as well. Stay healthy and balanced while bringing down the scales.
