foods for weight control

So eat and drink what we know will help us achieve our overall goal of maintaining a healthy weight and enjoy tasty and beneficial
 
The following foods disclose that, after studies on health, proved to be truly effective in our battle for control of weight by not generating an increase in body fat and also help us to get rid of the extra kilos:
1. Green tea. Treat yourself to savor a glass of iced green tea or a cup of hot green tea every time you find the time.
In a recent study, volunteers who drank three months every day a bottle of tea (fortified with green tea extract) lost more body fat than the group that drank a bottle of regular tea. Except for the difference in the area, their diet was generally similar.
The researchers suspect that the phytochemicals in green tea may trigger weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories and little by little, decrease body fat.
2. Soups (only broth or tomato). Calorie-containing fluids generally are less filling than solid foods. The soups are the exception. The researcher Richard Mattes, Purdue University, found that study participants tended to consume fewer calories per day on days they ate soup, suggesting that broth before eating other foods can reduce hunger and increase satiety.
3. Green salads. Eating a salad with low calorie? Not be confused with the salad full of cheese, golden muffins and other additions, as well as high-fat dressings? as a first course can help you feel more satisfied and reduce the total calories consumed during that meal.A study by University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), eating a small low-calorie salad tends to decrease by 7% of calories consumed in that meal, a salad, the largest decreases to 12%.
How low in calories can be a salad? Consider the following: two cups of fresh spinach leaves, 10 slices of cucumber, one medium tomato and 1 / 4 cup grated carrots are a total of 67 calories.
4. Yogurt. Yogurt is a milk-derived product. Several studies found that including dairy products as part of a diet low in calories can help you lose weight. However, this does not convince even some scientists who say that other studies show no substantial effect between dairy consumption and weight loss.
Recent research studied a group of obese adults who ate three portions of six ounces of nonfat yogurt daily as part of a diet that reduced calorie consumption by 500 normal. The study found that 22% group lost more weight than another group of participants who consumed reduced calories, but without emphasizing foods rich in calcium. Further research is needed on the mechanism responsible for this increased loss of body fat.
Meanwhile, consider a light yogurt may help satisfy the hunger due to a combination of protein and carbohydrates it contains.
5. Beans. Beans and beans can help you feel fuller and so curb your appetite between meals. They also provide a lot of fiber and protein for a minimum of calories. Half a cup of pinto beans has about eight grams of fiber and seven grams of protein.
6. Water. Water helps control weight to be an alternative to other beverages with high caloric content and new luxury coffees, cappuccinos, sodas, etc.
Research suggests that people who drink liquid carbohydrate (in the form of soda) are perhaps more likely to consume more calories than your body needs, compared with people who consume the same amount as solid carbohydrates (sweets, candy).
Water is necessary for life, and must drink it all day. You can also drink it as tea without sugar, mineral water, unsweetened flavored, plain water with a squeeze of lemon or lime, or cucumber. Even the coffee (especially decaf) account if consumed in moderation.
7. Substitute liquids. Although substitutes are not the solution to the loss or weight maintenance, research shows that it can help.
Women who lost weight with a diet plan that included reduced calorie drinks as substitutes for meals, maintained their weight loss after one year by drinking at least one day instead substitute a meal.
8. High-fiber grain. In general, whole grains help to increase the fiber and nutritional value of food. Have carried out studies on its relationship with weight loss, specifically in relation to breakfast cereals (many sponsored by manufacturing companies cereals).
A recent study from Purdue University suggests that eating a controlled portion of cereal (with 2 / 3 cup of skim milk, plus a portion of hundred calories of fruit) is an excellent substitute for a meal and can promote weight loss.
One of the easiest ways to increase consumption of whole grains is to eat one serving of high fiber bran cereal for breakfast or snack (snack) during the day.
9. Grapefruit. Maybe there was some truth in the popular grapefruit diet. One study found that this fruit can help promote weight loss and reduce the risk of developing diabetes type 2. The researchers noted that after eating the grapefruit eaters also had reduced levels of blood sugar.
So eat and drink what we know will help us achieve our overall goal of maintaining a healthy weight and enjoy tasty and beneficial.
The measurement of the composition (or percentage) of body fat is the key to success in a change of power in view of reducing weight and cholesterol. Keep track of what motivates us to go down weekly to follow the path of lost kilos and a healthier life.
