You more than likely have heard people say you can eat more and lose weight. Diet programs have been using this as an advertising ploy for years. Is there any truth to it? Well, yes there is actually, but there is also a catch. This article is going to discuss this claim.
First off, yes you can eat more food and lose weight. In fact you can eat more food TO lose weight. Here is the catch though, you must eat HEALTHY foods to still lose weight. What exactly does this mean?
You must eat healthy foods that offer you certain nutrients such as protein, monosaturated (good) fats, B12, vitamin C and pectin. Here is a small list of foods that provide this.
1. Lean meats - Lean meats, such as turkey and chicken, provide a healthy supply of high quality protein, niacin, and B6. Fish, such as tuna and salmon, also provide protein, as well as, omega-3 fatty acids which lower leptin an boost metabolism.
2. All types of berries - Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries all contain high amounts of antioxidants, which help to prevent cancer, heart disease, and obesity and they contain high levels of vitamin C. The flavanoids in each helps eyesight, balance, coordination and short-term memory. Strawberries contain pectin, which helps to suppress your appetite.
3. Olive oil - antioxidant rich and contains monosaturated fats to clear your arteries and lower cholesterol.
4. Peanut butter - yes it is high in calories, but it is packed with monosaturated fats to help clear arteries, as in olive oil, and boost testosterone to build muscle and melt fat. Limit yourself to 3 Tbsp per day, to avoid the calories.
