Foods to Lose Weight Healthily

Sometimes my clients request "compact" meal ideas, typically for occasions when they need to feel nourished but can't look or feel stuffed (if they have to wear a form-fitting outfit for example). But petite meals don't always equate to tiny calorie counts, and the opposite is also true. On days when you're craving volume, you can eat what I like to call 'large but light' meals. Here are four meal examples (a day's worth) that provide a whole lotta bites for fewer than 500 calories each BEANS.

 Beans are a frequently chosen protein source for dieters. Beans contain a wholesome mix of protein and carbohydrates. They are challenging to digest, so it requires your body longer to digest them. This is a benefit of eating beans. This longer digestive process keeps your blood sugar stable and helps stave off the sense of being hungry.

And another huge benefit of eating beans is the fact that they are very high in fiber. Fiber gives your digestive system a great workout and thus keeps things running smoothly.

SKIM MILK.

Of all the fat burning foods, dietary calcium is quite possibly the most well known and proven booster of the metabolism. As a matter of fact, scientific studies have proven that calcium causes weight loss. In a controlled study of two test groups of people, each group did exactly the same things except that one group was allowed several servings daily of calcium rich foods. The results were that the group that received the extra calcium lost close to three times the amount of weight as the group that didn't get extra calcium.

GREEN TEA.

Green tea is the third of the healthy foods for weight loss under consideration here. Green tea has been regarded by dieters as a miracle product for many years. For one thing, green tea is a mild diuretic and thus helps the body rid itself of retained fluid. Also, its small caffeine content speeds up your heart and metabolism slightly without creating stress on your body.

Studies conducted to determine green tea's fat burning properties have yielded encouraging results. Tea drinkers who drink 4 - 6 cups of green tea each day will achieve faster weight loss than non-tea drinkers.

Beyond being one of the healthy foods for weight loss for dieters, green tea offers a super bonus. In drinking it you benefit by its potent antioxidants. This reduces potentially cancer causing free radicals in your body. We'll have more to say about "bonus foods" later in this article.
