Dieting along with diet foods has become a craze that swept through the nations, especially as a result of external influence; like media and celebrities. But how do we ensure that we eat the correct foods to aid in our weight loss, without taking drastic measures? It may seem like a good idea to take a few laxatives, starve yourself or take a slimming shake, but all of these measures will do much more harm than good.
The key is patience and moderation. Do not expect to lose pounds overnight, and don't completely 'cut out' everything, as your body will retain and store fat, therefore defeating the whole purpose of weight loss. There are, however, 'super' foods or diet foods you can eat or drink that have a positive effect. They help you to remain fuller for longer periods of time and are low in calories.
Some of these super diet foods include:
1. Blueberries - Low in calories yet still sweet, and help to prevent cancer. And on top of this, they are a fabulous antioxidant.
2. Tomatoes - Full of Vitamin's C, A and K, tomatoes are especially nutritious and also help fight against heart disease.
3. Spinach - A super source of Vitamin's A and K, and is proven to improve cardio output.
4. Sweet Potato - Jam-packed with Iron, Copper, Potassium, Dietary Fiber, and Vitamin's A, C and B6. (Quick tip - chop a small amount of banana, with cooked sweet potato and maple syrup for a tasty healthy dessert.)
5. Whole Grain Bread, Brown Rice and Pasta - A good source of fiber and helps regulate bowel movements.
6. Walnuts - Full of Omega 3 fats, they provide many health benefits and are a perfect snack.
7. Salmon - High in protein, and Omega 3 fats, it is a brilliant food for dieting and is advised to be included as part of your diet at least once a week.
8. Green Tea - A great antioxidant and proven to have several health benefits. Low in caffeine too, so be sure to swap regular tea or coffee for green tea as often as possible.
9. Low fat Yogurt - Full of essential vitamins including; Vitamin's B2, B12, B5 and live bacterial cultures that improve the immune system.
There are also other diet foods, but it is especially important to have a good 'balanced' diet. This combined with regular exercise, will help to maintain your weight or help in you with your weight loss goals.
Eggs are a complicated one. Put simply, protein is excellent for dieting and egg WHITE is packed with protein, but egg YOLK is high in fat. Don't be put off though, as your body does need a small quantity of fat, to prevent your body from retaining it. Essentially our bodies crave fats, so we need to ensure the correct balance.
Food that contains a good amount of fiber is a great source of diet foods, as it is not digested by our body, and therefore contains no fat, sugar or calories. It promotes bowel movement and helps move food along the digestive tract. But be aware of foods, particularly cereals that claim to be a good source of fiber, although we cannot get calories from fiber, it is often combined with other carbohydrates and sugars that should be avoided.
