Many people say to me - ok, I know I have to eat fewer calories than I burn up to lose weight. And yes, it's true, you do, but you don't have to do it through willpower.
If you CHANGE THE TYPE OF FOOD YOU EAT, it's possible to LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT REALLY TRYING - how good is that?!
HIGH FIBRE FOODS are important, because fibre holds water and tends to fill you up, so your stomach is tricked into thinking you've eaten more than you actually have. Fantastic examples of these foods are vegetables, fruit, whole grains and beans & pulses. You can eat relatively large portions of these foods without consuming large amounts of calories.
FATTY FOODS do little to control appetite because the body does not recognise fat as energy for immediate use. So the brain does not cut the hunger signals and you go wanting more. Think crisps and biscuits here.
Also you really need to AVOID SUGAR if you want to lose weight - it is just unnecessary calories! It's not always that simple with sugar because it hides in all manner of foods from ready meals to ketchup.
If you CHANGE THE WAY YOU EAT your digestive tract will do the calorie counting for you, and diets can become a thing of the past!
Happy Eating!
