5 Foods that Shed Those Unwanted Pounds
by Dorthy Weatherbush
These days when people attempt to lose weight they actually have a disturbing tendency to overeat. We feel hungry, and then we eat too fast. By eating too fast we rob out bodies of its chance to signal our brain that it is full, and with that being the case, we take in more calories than we really need.
The best method you might employ is choosing foods that take a bit longer to chew, and doing so will force us to slow down. The following are five foods that you can eat, and they will not only slow down your eating, but also help you to achieve the weight loss you are craving.
Water
Oftentimes we think we are hungry, but in reality our bodies are actually thirsty. That being said, it is very important that we drink a decent amount of water every single day. Not only will this help to limit our thirst, it will also cut down on the false hunger pangs. It is recommended that we drink approximately eight to ten glasses of water per day.
Salads
Making a salad containing lettuce, cabbage, carrot, beetroot, and cucumbers provides our bodies with necessary fiber and vitamins while also providing us with a slower eating experience. The different textures in this salad, will cause you to have to chew more which results in eating slower. Taking time with your meal not only allows your body to recognize when it is full but also gives you the psychological feeling of having eaten a large meal.
It is important to note though that many salad dressing are high in calories so this type of salad is best eaten using a little lemon juice for dressing.
Oranges
Another thing you might consider is using oranges for weight loss. They will take some time to peel and because of that, your body will receive the signal in less time. That being said, oranges are without a doubt beneficial to your weight loss effort.
Broccoli
Broccoli is also another food that has high concentrates of vitamins and minerals your body needs and craves while taking more time to chew than many other vegetables. Thus broccoli too is a great way to slow down your eating and give your body time to recognize when it is sated.
Chocolate Candy Bars
When one thinks of weight loss they do not normally associate it with chocolate bars, but a 20 gram chocolate bar will actually do two different things for you. First of all it will provide you with a sense of fulfillment, and secondly it will actually provide you a sense of giving yourself a treat. Something you should note and understand well is that denying yourself the foods you crave can have a detrimental effect on your overall health.
No one is suggesting that these 5 foods are all you should eat when dieting. Maintaining a healthy diet that includes all food groups is your best chance of success. However, including these foods as part of a healthy diet will help you eat less and therefore lose weight easier.
