Dieting Good Foods To Eat
Include......
When you’re dieting good foods to eat include plenty of
fruits and veggies, protein,
and small amounts of
starches like bread and
potatoes.
You don’t have to starve to
lose weight; in fact, not
eating enough can slow down
your metabolism and make it
harder to lose weight.
Luckily, there are plenty of
good diet foods available.
When you’re dieting good
foods to eat also include
foods that contain a bit of
fat. Many people don’t know
this, but your body needs
some fat to function. Fat
also helps you feel full
longer.
This may come as a surprise,
but when dieting good foods
to eat include whatever
foods you really love,
whether that’s broccoli or
chocolate cake. You can eat
all your favorite foods as
long as you eat them in
moderation.
Good dieting foods for
mealtime:
-
Soup and a salad. These
are very good diet
foods. A serving of soup
(about half a can) has
about 100 calories. Add
a salad and you’ll have
a complete meal. A cup
of lettuce only contains
10 calories and other
veggies are low in
calories too, so you can
really load up your
salad. Add a sprinkle of
shredded cheese or a
chopped hard boil egg
for some protein and a
little fat to help you
feel full longer. Look
for sugar free or low
carb dressing.
-
Turkey
sandwich. The turkey and
the bread will total
about 215 calories. Add
all the veggies you
want. If you like mayo,
look for the lite kind.
-
Chicken breast. Remove
all the skin and bake in
your oven. A 3-oz.
Chicken breast (about
the size of a deck of
cards) has about 140
calories. Add a salad
and/or cooked veggies on
the side.
When dieting good foods to eat include snacks. Snacking
between meals will prevent
you from being so hungry you
pig out at dinner.
Good diet foods you can eat
as snacks between meals:
-
Raw vegetables such as
carrot and celery
sticks, cucumber,
broccoli, and slices of
red and green peppers,
along with a fat free
dip or fat free ranch
dressing if you like.
-
Popcorn. A cup of lite
microwave popcorn only
has about 20 calories,
so you can eat a lot.
-
Low-fat yogurt. A single
serving container
usually has bout 80
calories. To make a meal
of it, add half a cup of
granola. This will make
it about 200 calories,
not bad for breakfast!
-
A piece of fresh fruit.
-
A piece of string
cheese.
There are plenty of other good dieting foods. Brands like
Healthy Choice and Weight
Watchers make frozen
microwave meals and even
make deserts that are tasty
and are also good diet
foods.
Good dieting foods can be
supplemented with a
multi-vitamin and mineral
pill taken daily.
The bottom line is, when
you’re dieting good foods to
eat include a variety of
foods. Eat lots of fruits
and veggies, some protein,
some starches, and even a
little fat. Eat a little of
your favorite dessert, too.
Desserts are good diet foods
if they are consumed in
moderation.
