Hello!
Did you know that most people consume about five pounds of food each day? That's how much food it takes to make the average person feel satisfied. Studies show that the best way to lose weight is to eat heavy, low-calorie foods so that when you reach your five pounds you haven't eaten too many calories.
What are the heavy, low-calorie foods? You guessed it--they're the ones that are high in (heavy but calorie-free) fiber and water:
vegetables
fruits
whole grains
lean proteins
low-fat dairy
broth-based soups
That's why people lose more weight the more they bulk up on these foods and avoid processed foods, where the water and fiber has been removed. It makes sense--you'd have to eat a few pounds of broccoli to get the calories in one Oreo! So get rid of your light-weight, high-calorie foods!
And have a good week!
