Chiropractor In Goose Creek Sc | For Healthy Weight Loss Eat More Of These Foods

So often when you begin a weight loss program it begins with a big, long list of all the foods that you are not allowed to eat. Today we are going to flip it around and talk about all of the fabulously healthy foods that will nourish and heal your body--clean foods that will help you lose weight.

While we are talking about all of the delicious, healthy foods you can eat for weight loss, there are some foods that you have been eating that you will definitely have to eliminate from your diet. But, you will be bombarded with so many alternative good choices that you won't even miss them!

If you can cut just 100 calories from each meal that's a bonus five pounds lost over the course of a year without breaking a sweat. You see, it all adds up: 100 calories x 3 meals per day x 52 weeks = 15,600 calories eliminated in a year, or one pound lost for every 3,500 calories you eliminate from your diet.

Here are a couple of quick notes before we get to specific foods:

"Eat a diet rich in lean proteins to help you lose more fat (and specifically belly fat) and build more lean muscle.

"Eat six smaller meals distributed throughout the day rather than three main meals.

"Weight training will help you boost your metabolism and burn more fat in addition to sculpting a lean, sexy body.

Now, let's get to the food. Here are some delicious, healthy foods to add to your diet that will fuel your body and your weight loss efforts:

Eggs:
A good source of protein, you should eat the whole egg because they will help you lose weight and make you feel full longer.

Oats:
Steel cut and rolled oats contain as much as five grams of fiber in each serving. Instant oatmeal has less fiber, and is usually full of sugar. A bowl of oatmeal will digest slowly over the course of the morning giving you energy and keeping your blood sugar levels even.

Salmon:
This heart healthy protein is full of Omega-3 fatty acids which help build lean muscle and decrease that stubborn belly fat.

Yogurt:
A perfect source of carbs, protein and fat, plain yogurt makes a great snack, but be wary of the high sugar content of certain brands.

Blueberries:
High in antioxidants and lots of other nutrients, blueberries also contain 3.6 grams of fiber per cup.

Leafy Green Vegetables:
Kale, spinach, Swiss chard and mustard greens are high in vitamins and minerals, while they are low in fat and contain fiber.

Lentils:
These delicious legumes are a great source of protein and fiber that will help keep your blood sugar levels stable.

You know that diets don't work - that is temporary diets. You know the drill: a shake for breakfast, another for lunch and then a "sensible" supper? If you just make a few changes here and there but then eventually slip back into your old way of eating you will stay on the dieting rollercoaster until the end. Commit to making permanent, healthy changes and you will keep the weight off for good.
