Top Ten Weight Loss Foods

Whilst doing some market research a thought from a keyword made me think about this so hence the post here are what I would consider to be my top then weight loss foods anyway whether they are or not makes difference so here we go.

Something I eat a lot of now especially with it being so hot is salad my number one for this would be.

1. Tomatoes I love them all the goodness they contain and they have water in which fills you up

2. Fish I eat mostly salmon when we have it mostly in sandwiches or with a salad

3. Eggs I eat a fair few eggs two reasons mainly one the protein and two they suppress your appetite.

4. Soup extremely low in calories very filling and studies show that it suppresses your appetite.

5.Apples very low calorie food and contains pectin which is it's own fibre takes quite a while to break down in your stomach plus turns off the hungry signal in your mind.

6. Bananas love the taste of them and there so full of good stuff namely potassium

7.Pears love this fruit and eat it quite a lot

8.Beans full of protein and taste great with some chilli powder added yummy

9.Porridge (Oatmaeal) mostly have this for my breakfast keeps me going to dinner or lunch whichever you prefer.

10.Green Tea full of antioxidants and now Im used to it I find it quite satisfying I know it isn't a food but thought it might make a good addition to the list.

You Are What You Eat

We all have heard this phrase at some time during our battles with weight loss but did you know that some research as shown that we can be what our friends eat.

A study was performed which had twelve thousand people and there where 2 things that stood by a mile large people have large friends.

And people with big friends become bigger themselves so this raises a few valid points does it hold true for you what happens when you go to a friends house for dinner do you tend to eat more than you would do normally. It certainly is worth thinking about as we can and do become at times like the people we hang around with.

Ten Ways To Help You Burn More Fat

Here are some ways to stoke your metabolism up if you are still having problems with losing weight. these are all from the latest research on weight loss.


1. Studies have found that actually water does have an effect on your metabolism,a study which was correlated in Germany showed that by drinking water the participants metabolisms rose by thirty percent which is quite good. water also will suppress your appetite we often mistake from thirst and therefore eat more,try this tip have some water about twenty minutes before your main meal you will probably find that you will eat less.

2. Drink green tea, it has been found from studies that, it has metabolism boosting properties, also green tea is very high in antioxidants and overall it doesn't taste that bad, it probably sounds for worse than it actually is that there is no reason why you shouldn't try it.

3.Have some soup,various studies have been done regarding soup, as well as speeding up your metabolism, it also suppresses your appetite and with it being a liquid type of food it will also feel you up.

4.Eat some grapefruit, studies were done regarding this fruit at a clinic and it was found that the people who ate some grapefruit with their meal lost three point six pounds, within three months, another good thing about grapefruit is it keeps your insulin levels in check which if you have high levels of insulin which can cause you to gain weight, insulin is a fat storage hormone.

5.Eat even more fruit, a few days back now I wrote a post about Apples and how they can help you lose weight, if you eat one Apple before each meal about half an hour roughly this will suppress your appetite and because of the pectin in the Apple, you will eat less food. You could also eat pears as well in conjunction with the apples.


6.Vegetables, get into the habit of eating broccoli lots of studies have shown that this vegetable will help you lose weight in the long run, and it does taste quite nice, not only that broccoli is packed with phytochemicals,which helps prevent disease.

7. Add some yoghurt to your shopping list has been found, that people who eat dairy foods, with calcium in do in fact lose weight. Just make sure it's a low-fat variety of what you are eating.

8. Porridge, one of my favourite breakfasts, oatmeal as its otherwise known has lots of soluble fiber and high in carbohydrates which will keep you feeling full for longer.

9.Turkey or chicken tends to be packed full of protein,another good metabolism booster studies have shown this time after time.

10.Spicy food hot foods such as pepper also have fat burning properties as well, things like chillies etc, these foods stimulate your stress hormones which in turn speed up your metabolism.

How You Can Burn More Fat By Doing Less

This poses a rather interesting debate about exercise and the length of it or how much you do or don't as to how much fat you burn, during exercise, a study was done which compared the fat metabolism, of some men who did one bout of exercise and some who did repeated bouts of exercise.

Things were that were done were during the study seven men did the following a single bout of exercise for sixty minutes continuous, and also two single bouts of exercise which lasted thirty minutes each, and had twenty minutes rest between each bout,and then rest.


Measurements were done on the participants of the study and it was found that the group that exercised constantly for sixty minutes burnt less fat than those who exercised for thirty minutes then rested now interestingly enough this is this is exactly how I do my exercise one session in the morning followed by one session in the evening, and do it on alternate days so I have one day of exercise and one day off

Ten Ways To Keep Your Weight Loss On Track

It can be hard at times when your trying to lose weight to stay focused what with the ups and downs of life hectic life styles and so on.

So I saw a article on the American Chronicles website and thought it would make a good post.

So they say:

1. Don't dive in headfirst into anything there are so many fad diets these days that promise that this and the other and in truth losing weight slowly is more safer than, losing it fast aim for 1 pound a week if possible that's 500 per calories per day.

2. Keep it real everyone either gains or loses weight at different rates no two people are the same, stick to what your doing and don't worry if someone else is or has lost more weight it's not a competition.

3. Don't go hell bent for leather on exercise some people go mad at first going to the gym everyday and the thing is you don't give your muscles time to recover and tired muscles are no use at all, any exercise is better than none, if you have been living a sit about life style for ten years, a week or more on the treadmill won't fix that.

4. Watch the calories but don't slash them down to nothing, if you do that your body will go into starvation mode and will hold on every last ounce of fat, and you won't lose a anything.

5. Whatever you do don't skip meals another common mistake people make eat throughout the day fruit is good for eating in between meals and it keeps your metabolism ticking over.

6. Weighing yourself no need to do it everyday why you ask well your weight can change from day to day it might be more one day,then less the next try weighing once a week or twice a week that way you can get a better reading.

7. Eat with your conscious emotional eating can get the better of you at times when your bored depressed it's all to easy to eat cake or ice cream your mind associates this with the feeling so you tend to do it more often when you feel that way. The only way to deal with this is don't buy it, if it's not there you won't eat it.

8. Going it alone, not always the best idea talk to people who are trying to do the same as you or join a forum based around weight loss where you can get support.

9. Restriction just because you are trying to lose weight doesn't mean you can't have some treats just keep it to a minimum once in a while won't hurt

10. Don't rely on willpower alone keep a record of what you eat everyday and record your progress both these are a good motivator
