Weigh Loss Helpers

It seems to me that the best time for weight loss is during the more active time of the year. To me that is spring and summer. It seems that everyone wants to get on a diet during this time hoping to lose some poundage. To me diets are of no practicle use whats so ever. You diet and you might even lose a few pounds but, then you go off the diet and back to your usual diet and the pounds just come right back. The trick to really losing weight is to commit to eating a better diet and stick with it. Not just during the 'diet'. Find things you will eat continuously amd keep it all in your diet. So, the next step is to choose foods which are filling, nutritional and tasty. Here is a list of just such foods you could add to your grocery list: * Berries -- These are a great choice. Eat more berries than other fruit because they have more fiber which is another thing that's good for dieting. (Fiber helps foods move through the body and find their way out) Berries are high in fiber yet low in calories and are great for satisgying the sweet tooth. * Cottage Cheese -- High protein foods like cottage cheese are great for keeping you full for long periods. Low fat cottage cheese has about 90 calories and 12 grams of protein with each serving. It also pairs nicely with sweet fruits and even salads. * Eggs -- These are packed with good-for-you netrients and don't increase your risk of heart disease as some used to think. A large egg yolk is about 56 calories and provides about 6 grams of protein. * Potatoes -- These have a lot of potassium in them (especially in the skin) which is good for heart and kidney function, muscle contraction, and blood pressure. They have loads of fiber in them and good amounts of vitamin C and vitamin B6 as well. There are only about 80 calories in an average size potato. Apples -- These are great on-the-go snacks. The peel of a Fuji apple is rich in ursolic acid which may help in fat burning. The Honeycrisp variety has about 60 calories and 2 grams of fiber. Image is from wallpaperin5k.org
