Top 5 Diet Foods


Top 5 Diet Foods

People on diets or some form of a weight loss plan could start to feel the affects of low energy because of the lack of calories. This is simply your body getting used to surviving on less fuel. The solution is to find certain foods that are for enhancing your energy so you can keep your diet going.

Foods For Energy


  • Oats

There is one main reason why you should be getting some form of oats in your diet. It is because there are slow digesting carbohydrates in this. Some of the main benefits of this food include maintaining healthy blood sugar, being a good source of energy, and they taste good. Things like oatmeal are very good at giving you all the benefits talked about above. Another feature of this type of food is that it has a low amount of calories compared to its energy giving abilities, it is not packed with sugar, and there is healthy amounts of fiber in it. The average dieter will love this because of its flexibility and speed of preparation.


  • Egg Whites

A very important part of weight loss is building lean muscle mass. It is necessary to help lose weight because lean tissue takes more calories to maintain itself compared to fat tissue. Egg whites are wonderful at building lean muscle mass as well as giving you energy with low calorie intake. The average egg white has about 12 - 18 calories in it and consists of pure protein. Having adequate amounts of protein in your diet is essential for a healthy diet. The best time to eat this is after working out so you can maximize muscle repairs. Additionally, a residual affect of eating this food is feeling energized.


  • Salmon

This type of fish is great for an effective weight loss diet because of its ability to yield high energy and protein. The other great part about Salmon is it has something in it called healthy fats, which make it easy to keep consistent energy levels throughout your day. Another benefit of Salmon is its high protein content. Something to consider is consuming Salmon about 3 times a week or at least once a week.


  • Bananas

As you all may be aware, bananas are great at providing the nutrient potassium. It is something any diet needs in order to be effective. This is another energy bearing substance that contains powerful fat loss properties. Bananas are great for reducing the feeling of being lethargic as well as helping people who have a potassium deficiency. If you add a banana to your diet every day, there will be a lot of health benefits. Additionally, it is another high value amount of calories to help you get the best nutrients and least amount of calories possible.


  • Quinoa

The last food that you should put in your daily food regimen is Quinoa. Its purpose is to provide a large amount of carbohydrates, which are essential to giving the body energy. It is actually a better alternative then brown rice for vegetarians. Some of its other nutrient facts include lots of protein to help with lean muscle mass creation and in turn losing fat. From these findings you can see how easy it is to get a caloric deficit by eating smarter. These foods all provide maximum energy with the least amount of calories. They also give you protein and carbohydrates with little fat.

Long Term Weight Loss


Long Term Weight Loss

Having an approach that leads you to a brand new lifestyle is pretty good for helping anyone lose fat. Don't think of a diet as temporary or something to get immediate results over a short period. If you want to be truly healthy and feel really good for your entire life, than what you do over that entire space of time matters.

One Year Theory

Working out and eating right for 1 year will have an impact of 1/years alive. If you want to make the impact bigger, than make the fraction bigger. A 5 year lifestyle change will have an impact of 5/years alive. 5 years of change results in a bigger fraction than 1 year and therefore will have a bigger yield. The amount of impact that it has on your life will vary based on how hard you work, but it will only add up to the amount of years of change no matter what. Whether the result is long term or not depends on the total amount of your life spent doing it. For enlightened people that want to be smart about weight loss, it takes a big picture approach.

This theory leads one to believe that instead of just changing for 1 or 5 years is not efficient. If you change exercise and diet habits for the better, it will have the greatest benefit if don for your entire life.

This means finding things that you want and love to do for your whole life. The results will be very beneficial to you. Imagine never having to worry about your weight, how you look, or health risks related to obesity. Overall health and wellness will also become much better over the course of a lifetime of better living. Chances are that your overall feeling of happiness or joy will also go up. No social factors will make you feeling uncomfortable and you can live in a more complete state that doesn't dictate itself by the way you look but rather the way you feel.

Motivating Yourself for Weight Loss

Think to yourself:

What will keep me on a healthy track?

Some people have to know why they are doing something and if it is the right thing, follows their beliefs, and makes sense. Others may just adopt a new idea and run with it, letting the new lifestyle flow without worrying about why they're doing what they're doing. Either way, the best results on your health will come when you have an entire "management change" in your brain so that the changes you make last.

When you want to be a certain way, the choices you make will dictate your ability to follow up. Doing things that feel like it is forced and don't provide any value to yourself, won't last very long. It is possible to do if you have enough discipline, but may be enjoyably.

Managing weight is easy when you're already healthy. The problems come in when you slack and let yourself become out of shape and obese. If nothing else, just start taking actions that feel good to you. Do a little bit of diet control and take a few minutes per day to burn some calories. It is hard to keep doing something with no results, but they will come with continued effort. Just put your mind to this problem and think about it each day for a little bit. The simple act of thinking about being healthy can manifest itself into actions. Your brain psychology will then start to feel good when it knows your doing something that works toward the goal of being more healthy. This might be changing body composition from mostly fat to more muscle, building more muscle, or just getting overall weight loss.


You might also find faster results in getting to a point where you can manage your weight easily if you utilize organic based weight loss supplements. I am not talking about hard prescription pills. What I am talking about is supplements made from extracts and herbs in nature that our body knows as food already.
