The Best 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.

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.

Top of the list are eggs. Eggs are a terrific slimmer because they are packed with protein and leave you feeling full for a long time. The traditional carb heavy breakfast foods like toast, bagels or cereal will leave you hungry for a snack by 11.30 but a less fattening plate of scrambled egg will energize you until lunch time.

While coffee and tea are the staples for the short breaks we take during the day, there is a far better option for those on a diet or even just those with a health conscious attitude. Green tea is filled with antioxidants which speed your metabolism and help you burn food off faster. Keep that in mind next time you feel like a hot drink.

The giant sandwich which you wolf down at lunch time is likely to be another reason why you have trouble dropping weight. The best alternative to this carb packed fistful is good old soup. A bowl of soup will tell your brain that you are full and, if it is made from fresh ingredients, should be packed with lots of vitamins too.

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.
