Best Weight Loss Food

Wouldn't it be great if you could eat filling satisfying meals and still lose weight? Well it is entirely possible if we adjust our diets a little. Starvation dieting does little other than lose us water weight in the short term and can be dangerous in the longer term. The best weight loss food is that which satisfies us, provides our required nutrition and keeps us from the temptation of snacking on junk food. Ideally we want something filling so as to suppress our appetite.

So what are the satisfying foods that allow us to do fill up and avoid those evil snacks? Protein rich foods such as lean meat and fish, nuts and beans tend to be very satisfying so replacing some of our carbohydrate and fat intake with protein rich food makes a lot of sense. We can lose weight fairly quickly and we can keep it off too.

We all know that to lose weight we must limit our overall calorie intake to less than our activities require. That way our bodies will start to burn the stored energy reserves of fat in our bodies. The greater the difference between our calorie intake and our energy output the greater the weight loss we achieve. There is a caveat, we do not want to shock our bodies into thinking we are starving or we risk lowering our metabolism and making it harder to lose weight.

So if the best weight loss food is that that helps us feel satisfied and healthy while losing weight lets take a look at some.

Lean meat, fish and chicken are high in protein and are very satisfying. Of course we cannot spoil the benefit by eating fried chicken by the bucket-load. Common sense tells us to avoid fried foods and rich sauces while we are losing weight.

Nuts are naturally high in fat but at least it is a good form of fat and they're very satisfying, so nuts can actually be a good substitute for other foods we might otherwise eat more of. Again our common sense tells us to avoid the packs of roasted peanuts which are high in calories and added fats.

Beans and lentils are a good source of protein and there is evidence to suggest these help to suppress appetite as well as being a good source of fibre.

Eggs are high in protein and in moderation are good for us. Again use a little common sense and recognise that boiled eggs are clearly better for us than eggs fried or scrambled with butter!

Cereals and grains are good high fibre filling foods and also good for our digestion.

Fruit is a far better choice than processed snacks anytime. An apple probably takes more energy to digest than it adds to our calories but can be a handy snack if we need one between meals.

And let us not forget vegetables, we can think of the strongly colored ones like broccoli and carrot as being healthier than the lesser colored ones like say potato. This keeps it simple and works well as a general guide.

Not rocket science is it? We can identify the best weight loss food through common sense alone!
