Weight control, whether it’s losing weight or keeping it off can be a daily challenge. It involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle and making smart choices, despite the many hurdles that life may throw you, whether it’s physical, emotional or even social.

It is very easy to feel frustrated and overwhelmed when you're looking for advice on weight control, especially when new diets are making appearances on bookshelves, magazine racks or even online. How do you decide which diet is right for you? And which diet is healthy for your body?

The bottom line really is that you must control calories through portion control, appropriate food choices and physical activity. Here are a few weight control tricks pulled from the diet research... 

Eat some protein

Protein is cited as the most satiating nutrient. Try including twenty eight to eight five grams of a protein-rich food at meals. Protein builds and repairs as well as moderates the rise of blood glucose. This steadies your hunger and energy levels.

Go low on the glycemic index

Foods with a low glycemic index (most fruits, veggies and whole grains) should be a vital part of any healthy diet. They contain fibre and water that give them bulk without the calories, making them filling foods. These properties also play a positive role in your body's metabolism and insulin response.

Choose the right carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are packed with nutrients that are essential to feeling good each day, and they likely play a strong role in disease prevention. Most of your choices here should be whole foods or as close to them as possible. Avoid refined cakes and pastries.

Be selective about fats

Fat plays a key role in our health. Fat also aids hunger control because it is slowly digested. Moderating the amount you eat will reduce your calories. Choosing healthier fats such as nuts, oils and avocado, instead of saturated fats can improve your heart health and may have a role preserving good mental and physical health.
