Best Weight loss Tips help and advice to you loose weight fast in a healthy and natural way With all the diet pills and other weight loss programs on offer it can be tempting to think that there is no natural way to lose belly fat. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The only long term solution to toning up is through adopting a healthy eating and exercise program. Natural Way To Lose
The trick to eating for weight loss isn’t really so tricky: It’s as simple as eating more colorful, good-for-you fruits and vegetables.
Now we all know we’re supposed to eat fruits and veggies for their vitamins
and minerals, their roughage, and powerful disease-fighting benefits. But
apparently good nutrition just isn’t alluring enough for most of us. Only 20%
of Americans eat as many as five pieces of fruits and veggies a day.
So maybe it’s time we turn the tables and instead look at fruits and veggies
as a delicious way to “cheat” on a healthy weight loss diet. From fire-engine
red bell peppers, and buttery-yellow zucchini, to juicy grapes as purple as
wine, “eating enough produce seems to be one of the key elements in weight loss
and weight maintenance,” says Dave Grotto, RD, LDN, dietitian and author of
101 Foods That Could Save Your Life.
So how does eating more food actually help you weigh less?
The Secrets of Fruits and Vegetables
The first secret of fruits and veggies is simple: they’re nutrient dense.
This means that for their weight, most produce is low in calories; so you can
eat a lot more when your diet is rich in veggies and fruits -- and still not
consume a whole lot of calories. Just try that with chocolate!
The second secret: Satiety. All produce, from a juicy pear to a crispy bunch
of red lettuce is packed with water and fiber, says Seattle dietitian Kerry
Neville, MS, RD, and both of these not only keep the calories down, they make
you feel fuller longer. This means you could be satisfying cravings for
something sweet or crunchy every day -- and still lose weight.
Think about it. Maybe you’re in a 3 p.m. slump and want a snack to get you
through to dinner. Which will fill your belly better, a palmful of potato chips
with 155 calories, or three cups of whole strawberries with 138 calories? A can
of sweetened cola at 136 calories, or a heaping cup of grapes with about the
same number? In each case, the produce lets you eat a lot more, fills you up
fast, and keeps you full longer.
The Real Fruits and Vegetables Bonus
Along with helping in a weight loss diet, don’t forget the ultimate boon
when you enjoy crisp veggies and succulent fruit: You’re getting
disease-fighting nutrition with all that taste, too.
