Re: Foods to eat when you are trying to lose weight?

avoid or decrease intake of food with high level of carbs(bread/rice/potatoes/corn etc).
Watch your sugar intake. Avoid carb drinks....hmm go for lean meats, beans/veggies fresh, lots of fruit....
I hear its good to eat grapefruit in the morning....

Stay away from white foods: white bread, rice, potatoes, etc.

Go easy on the oil when cooking--better not to fry anything and if you can cook without oil it's best.

Drink lots of water, with a little bit of lemon juice added even better.

Eggs are actually very good for weight loss--just don't fry them in a lot of oil! If you like them hardboiled that's best.

Try to get plenty of good quality raw fruits and vegetables into your diet. Like fruit for breakfast, or a big salad at lunchtime.

Before you eat lunch or dinner, first have a small, light salad or a small cup of a light soup. This will help fill your stomach so you won't eat as much at the meal.

Portion control---never fill your plate!

Try using fruits as "snacks".. eating carrots, apples, grapes whenever you get a bit hungry between meals. And drink lots of water.

Oh, and drink water 30 mins before or after you eat. I read this at a islamic site once. Apparantly you shouldnt drink with the food. I never got around to that though, because im tooo used to drinking with the food it felt so hard.

OOOOH, APPLES!!!!!!!!! I really toned myself to the point of buffnesss by doing regular cardio/weightlifting and eating healthy. I ate two apples everyday and that not only gave me more energy for running, it also help me lose weight and cleared up my skin! Apples are recommended if you are trying to lose weight because they contain vitamins, iron, water, antioxidants, the healthy type of sugars, and tons of fiber. Also, apples keep your stomach FULL for a couple of hours, so you're less likely to feel hungry.

I just bought more apples recently cuz I need to get back in shape again! And I did portion control. I LOVE roti, but it can make you gain weight if you don't work it off. So I limited my roti to just once a day. And I combined it with salads to make me feel fuller. Besides apples, I also snacked on other low calorie foods such as raisins, almonds, pretzels, oranges, bananas, veggies and dip. It's amazing how diet gradually makes a good difference on skin too.

i did :)
