3 Foods To Eat To Lose Weight - Part 1

Lately, many people have been asking me this question. What are the foods to eat to lose weight? Well, in this article I will show you 3 foods to eat to help you lose weight.

The First Food To Eat To Lose Weight - The Grapefruit

One of the foods to eat to lose weight is definitely the grapefruit. The reason for this is that it helps your body to dissolve more cholesterol and fat then what would normally be dissolved. A normal sized grapefruit has just about 76 calories. And in these 76 calories, it gives 16 grams of pectin, a huge amount compared to the small number of calories. Pectin is the fibre in the fruit which helps lower fat and cholesterol levels. On top of this, it is high in potassium, vitamin C and is fat-free.

If you want to give the grapefruit some flavour, instead of adding sugar, add some cinnamon.

The Second Food To Eat To Lose Weight - Whole Grain Bread

The second of the foods to eat to lose weight is whole grain bread. Many people are under the assumption that eating bread adds to your fat levels. But this isn't the case. In fact, it is the butter or margarine you put on the bread that increases your fat levels. Personally, I only take in butter or margarine in limited amounts, that too occasionally.

Bread has actually been proven to be a good food for those who want to diet. Studies at numerous universities have shown that people who eat more bread can weigh up to 13 pounds lighter than those who eat just a couple of slices of bread a day. This is because some breads have been shown to actually reduce your appetite, meaning you won't spend as much time eating a lot of fattening foods.

So make it a point to eat dark, high fiber breads and whole grain breads. Not only do they contain a small number of calories (70 calories) but they are rich in carbohydrates, the best source of energy for your body.

The Third Food To Eat To Lose Weight - Apples

Everyone knows the saying, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But now it seems that apples are actually one of the best foods to lose weight as well.

There are 2 reasons for this. Apples increase your blood sugar levels safely. What this does is that keeps you feeling "full" for a longer period of time and keeps you feeling more energised.

The second reason an apple is regarded as one of the best foods to eat to lose weight is that they are very rich in soluble fibre. This type of fibre prevents you from feeling hungry many times in the day as it prevents sudden drops of sugar levels in your blood. This was proven in recent studies in the School of Medicine in the University of Kentucky.

Containing just 81 calories, the apple is truly a great food to eat to lose weight. You can start living a healthier life today by adding these 3 fantastic foods to your diet plans.
