Slimming Down the Healthy Way
|
Except for some magazine covers, the 2 Week Diet is a thing of the past. Thanks to media and medical stories, it is now widely known that if you want to lose weight and keep it off, a consistent, healthy lifestyle is the way to go. If you have been on a low fat diet, eating whole grains, veggies and fruits and lean protein with just a few desserts here and there and would still like to slim down more, a study by Pennsylvania State University will interest you. They found that women who added lost of low-cal produce to an already low-fat diet lost more weight than women who were just cutting fat. The group of women who lost the most weight were given a large salad (3 cups worth of greens and low calorie veggies) before they were served the rest of lunch. The result was they ate 100 less total calories. Keep in mind that you must use a no fat/low fat salad dressing for this to be successful. The result will be weight loss and the added benefits of vitamins, nutrients, phytochemicals and fiber.
