Healthy tips for maintaining your weight or losing weight:

 

High-fat foods generally have more calories than foods that are high in carbohydrates or protein. So choose whole grain pasta and bread.
 
Use butter and margarine sparingly.
 
Use "lite" or low-fat dairy products.
 
Use "lite" or fat-free salad dressing, even when using condiments and use oils sparingly.
 
Eat slowly.
 
Drink 8-10 glasses of water each day - this helps flush your body of impurities and fat and you may lose as many as 15 pounds per year
 
 
Increase your fruit and vegetable intake - these are packed with vitamins.
 
Don’t eat that late night snack for at least 2 hours before going to bed.
 
Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full.
 
Exercise is essential. Daily Physical activity does not have to be strenuous to achieve health benefits. Just get moving like 30 minutes each day.
 
 
Do not Skip Meals - Instead of eating 3 big meals, try to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day. One serving of pasta means 1/2 cup of cooked pasta. However, most restaurants serve a pasta dish with 4 servings of pasta!!! You do not need to finish and clean off the plate every time – think doggy bag !
 
 
Go for wholesome fresh foods - Packaged and convenient foods are often higher in sodium and fat content.
 
Don't be overly-restrictive : Everyone has his or her favorite treats. Simply allow yourself a little indulgence, but watch out for the frequency and the quantity.

5 Best & Healthiest Foods
 

Salmon It is a good source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids. In 2002, the American Heart Association recommended eating at least 2 servings of fish a week, particularly fatty fish such as salmon.
 
Soy Benefits of soy include promoting heart health and healthy bones, preventing cancer and alleviating menopausal symptoms. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease.
 
Greens Green vegetables such as kale, chard, collard greens, bok choy, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, etc... are packed with vitamins A and C, iron, calcium and phytonutrients. They are very filling, high in fiber and low in calories.
 
Berries Though small in size, berries pack in big benefits. A low-calorie treat full of fiber and chronic-disease-fighting antioxidants, berries are always a healthy and versatile choice. Berries that are consumed closest to harvest time are the most nutritious and taste the best, so choose local berries when you can. When possible, purchase berries from local farm markets during the growing season. Since fruits and vegetables begin to lose nutrients soon after they are picked, local produce provides the most nutrition because of the reduced time between harvest and consumption.
 
Whole Grains

 

3 to 5 servings of whole grains a day. To include more servings of whole grains in your diet, use whole-wheat flour in your recipes instead of white flour. Look for the word "whole" when purchasing packaged foods such as cereals, biscuits, pasta and breads. In addition, try adding wild rice, brown rice, quinoa or barley in your soup to increase whole grain intake.
   
  Types of Whole Grains:
 
  • wild rice
• brown rice
• whole wheat
• oatmeal
• whole oats
• barley
• whole rye
• bulgar
• popcorn

• amaranth
• millet
• quinoa
• sorghum
• triticale

   

Understand Food Claims and Labels :

and focus on those nutrients that are important to you
 
  Common name of the product
Name and address of the product's manufacturer
Net contents in terms of weight, measure or count, and
Ingredient list and Nutrition Facts
If you are concerned about your weight, you should compare products based on BOTH calories and fat.
If you have heart disease or high blood pressure, you should focus on the amount of total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and sodium. Choose products containing less than 20% Daily Values for fat, cholesterol and sodium.
If you have diabetes, you should pay attention to the amount of carbohydrate, sugar added as well as fiber.
 


"Don't let yourself be scammed"


Every year hundreds of people around the world are injured permanently or die at the hands of people who hawk fraudulent diet products. Some suffer because they want to believe in something that would give them the perfect body.  At Dietfraud.com, they are dedicated to inform the public about these scams. You now have a powerful vehicle to complain. To tell it quite frankly, your government languishes in the belief that diet fraud doesn't matter. Even when they fine individuals, or companies millions of dollars, they are back on the streets, even using their old names, just a few months or years later. These people are criminals, and we aim to see that you get even if you feel you have been wronged.

The work that they do at
Dietfraud.com
is not supported by drug companies or government agencies. They are entirely funded by your kind support.
