1. For a healthy person weight loss is simple: burn more calories than
you consume. Your healthiest weight is determined by height to
weight ratio or Body Mass Index (BMI) and the amount of fat in your
body. Unfortunately, over 60% of the North American population are
considered to be overweight according to the BMI index because of
the unhealthy diet with foods high in saturated fat and trans fat,
causing many diseases and becoming a heavy burden to our
natiohealtheath care system.
For many people losing weight is easy, but keeping that lost weia is a
big problem. If you have a permanent weight loss plan, you will have
no problem maintaining that lost weight.
I) Tips to Trick your Body Into Losing Weight
For many people losing weight is easy, but keeping that lost weigais
the big proam. If you have a permanent weight loss plan, you will have
no problem maintaining that lost weight.
Here are some tips that may help and you might want to keep them in
mind in your daily diets.
1.Replace high density with Low nutrition densityLowdensity lownsity
food such as fruits and vegetables are bulky, filling and contain fewer
calories meaning they can help you lose weight and control your
hunger. By consuming fewer calories, you can lose weight over time
and keep it off forever.
2. Fluff up your foods
Food with extra air whipped has fewer calories. Study shows that
people drinking longer air whipped milkshake consume 2feweress
calories than normal milkshakes because milkshake blended longer
adds air and volume.
3. Foods to avoid
Avoid eating foods that are high in saturated and trans fat. DDip-
friedfoods can contain high calories and any extra fat will be stored
away for future use, causing weight gain. Also saturated fat and trans

2. fat might cause arteries to cclogup with bad cholesterol, resulting in
heart diseases.
4. Limit food variety
An overload of food will make you go beyond fullness just because
you want to taste everything. Limit only a few selections of snacks in
your house so you will eat less because you will get tired of the same
old foods.
5. Replace high-calorie drinks with low calorie beverages or water
Study shows that you can put on weight without realizing it by drinking
high-calorie beverages, ecause high calories beverages go right
through your stomach without registering it. Therefore you might
intake a lot of calories, but your stomach will still feel hungry.
II) Lose Weight With Foods Containing Ha igh Amount of Fiber
Since fiber improves large intestine function and keeps the muscles of
the large intestine strong, it speeds up the transit time of food and
increases the size of stool (fecal bulk), thereby helping prevent
constipation and hemorrhoids. Foods that contain fiber are typically
low in fat and therefore it is a very important component in weight
control as well.
In this article, we will discuss why foods containing high amounts of
fiber can eventually make you lose weight.
1. Foods high in fiber offer more food per calories
Since most fiber can not be digested in your stomach, they have a
negative calorie effect. Fiber alsohelpsp to trick your stomach into
feeling full with fewer calories than you would normally eat.
2. Prolong your mealHigh-fiberr foods require lots of chewing and
swallowing. Therefore it takes longer for you to finish your meal.
3. Fill up your stomachWater-solublee fiber absorbs water from your
stomach and forms a kind of gel that swells up, causing receptors in
your stomach to signal your brain that you are still full and no longer
need to eat.

3. 4. Stabilizes blood sugar
Foods containing high fiber such as whole grain, and dried bean
release their sugar slowly into the bloodstream thus supporting blood
glucose stability to help weight loss. Also, a high-fiber meal can affect
blood sugar response to the next meal, keeping your blood sugar
more stable throughout the day.
5. Boost your Hormones
Glucagon-Like Peptide-1,is a small protein that is naturally produced
in the human body and can slow the digestive process and give a
sense of fullness, causing you to lose weight.
6. Block some calories
Fiber blocks the absorption of calories and enhances your body's
absorption of nutrients. Study shows that a diet containing only 20
grams of fiber a day absorb 8% more calories than a diet containing
48 grams of fiber.
III. How to lose Weight with Foods Substitution
The healthiest weight isis determinedy height to weight ratio or Body
Mass Index (BMI) and the amount of fat in your body. Unfortunately,
over 60% of the North American population is considered to be
overweight, according to the BMI index. We also have discussed the
negative weight loss in the article "Foods make you lose weight". In
this article, we will discuss how to lose weight with food substitutions
in your diets.
1. Dip fried food is crunchy and tasty, but it contains lots of saturated
fat that causes arteries to build up with cholesterol, heart disease ,and
unhealthy weight gain. You can avoid these by steaming, stirring, and
consuming more cold-water fish.
2. Adding one teaspoon of hot pepper and mustard to every meal will
raise metabolic rate by as much as 25 percent.
3. Replace the cream in your recipe withlow-fatt sour cream orlow-fatt
evaporated milk.

4. 4. Don't smother your baked potato with butter or sour cream. Replace
it with salsa orlow-fatt chili.
5. Use olive oil or canola oil instead of animal oils or vegetable oils.
6. Add nutston your diet. Nuts tend to be high in fat and nutrition, so
include them in your diet but do not overdo it.
7. Substitute mungbean paste for butter in peanut butter cookies to
lower fat and increase fiber.
8. Serve meat or poultry with cranberry sauce,and salsa, and skip the
gravy.

V. How to Lose Weight with Common Sense Approach

6. Together with a healthy diet and consuming more fruits, vegetables,
and meat and dairy foods that are low in saturated and trans fat would
help you to lose weight and keep it off longer. Be sure to talk to your
doctor before you would like to start any weight loss program.
Here are some common-sense approaches that might help you to lose
weight:
1. Don't skip your breakfast
Skipping meals will only cause you to eat more in the next meal. After
a long period of hunger, your stomach triggers the brain to release
more chemicals that ask you to eat more (more than 2 meals
combine) in the next meal.
2. Follow the BMI index
According to the National Institution of Health, the definition of healthy
weight is a BMI of 24 or less. Men and Women with a BMI of 25-30
are considered to be overweight. BMI is reliable for people from 19-70
years of age.The studyy reveals that for people over 64 years of age,
the risk of dying from heart disease does not go up with a BMI
between 25-27. A BMI over 28 seems to increase risk of heart
disease.
3. Slowly and Surely
Change your lifestyle habits slowly. Each day replace some of the
saturated and trans fat foods
with healthier foods.
Start Exercising gradually. Walk 10 minutes a day for a few days then
15 minutes, 30 minutes. Keep going until you work your way up to
doing a supervised exercise program. Be happy if you lose 2 to 3 lbs a
week.
4. Stay Moderately active
Sitting in front of the computer or television all day will increase the
risk of arthritis, type II diabetes, obesity, heart diseases, and
depression.

7. 5. Shopping parking
Parking your car at the far end of the parking lot will help you to burn
more calories. If you calculate the calories which you burn from all the
trips that you take such as mall shopping, grocery shopping, working,
and picking up the kid from school, you will be surprised. Each mile
will burn somewhere around 125 calories.
6. Moderate intake of alcohol
Moderate drinking of alcoholic beverages containing no fat, no
cholesterol, and very little sodium is often associated with weight loss
in women. Moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better
health and longer life. Drinking a cup of red wine for women and two
cups for men daily will help increase blood circulation and decrease
the risk of a heart attack.
7. Study shows that eating chicken soup with rice and drinking water
together befa ore meal will help to curb your appetite.
VI. How to Lose Weight with the Mediterranean diet
As we mentioned in the other articles, for a healthy person weight loss
is simple: burn more calories than you consume. The healthiest weight
is determined by height to weight ratio or Body Mass Index (BMI) and
the amount of fat in your body. Unfortunately, over 60% of the North
American population is considered to be overweight, according to the
BMI index. There must be something wrong with our diet. In faraway
places such as Southern Italy and Greek, most people live longer than
us because their diet contains lots of fruits and vegetables. The
People in Southern Italy and Greek only eat fish and poultry a few
times a week and meat a few times a month. Their diet is high in
carbohydrates and only contains 8% of saturated fat.
You can find some very good traditional Greek foods in yoyourocal
restaurants.
Here are some meals that I found very different than our diet:
1. Savor souvlaki
Also known as shish kebob, it contains a lnumbermount of vegetables

8. and a small amount of meat. This is a meal with an average of about
300 calories and only 10 grams of fat with 1/5 of fat being saturated.
2. Pita Bread sandwich
Pita bread sandwich includes heftyvegetablestable, some meat, feta
cheese, and cucumber sauce. It contains roughly 800 calories with 45
grams of total fat and half of that are saturated.
Unfortunately, under the influence of the western diet, some of the
meals that we found are no longer Greek foods. They are high in meat
and saturated fat, therefore please do not assume that all Greek
restaurants are original Mediterranean diet.
Here are 2 recipes of the orforinal Mediterranean diet that not only
help you to lose weight but also reduce your high blood pressure and
bad cholesterol level as the result of lowering the risk of heart
diseases and s trokes.
yogurt of yoghurt with dill ( Sources from Ellaia)
* Sauce of yogurt with dill
* 300 gm. yogurt with low water content
* 1 spoonful of dry dill
* 1 clove of garlic, salt, pepper
* 2 spoonfuls olive oil ELLAIA
* 1 spoonful of lemon juice.
* We pulp the garlic in a mortar with a little salt.
In a ,deep bowl we strike yogurt with garlic, the dill, and the pepper
and we continue with the olive oil and the lemon until they are mixed
well. We maintain the mixture in the refrigerator. Accompanies
vegetables and green salad.
2. Meat with plums ( Sources from Ellaia)
* 1,5 kg meat (pork, lamb, bee,f or even chicken)
* 1 onion
* salt, pepper, nutmeg

9. * 1 cinnamon stick
* 5-6 cloves juice of 2 lemons
* 2-3 spoonfuls olive oil ELLAIA
* Half kg plums
* 1 cup almonds
* 2 spoonfuls of sugar or honey
* Wash the meat and cut it into portions. We put it in a basin and throw
on the onion in big particles, salt, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg
and the juice of a lemon. We leave the meat to be marinated for 2-3
hours and meanwhile, we wet the plums in water to absorb water and
also the almonds to be peeled easily. We put the olive oil in a
saucepan and sauté the meat. We douse with the marinade liquid, we
add 1-2 glasses of hot water and we boil the meat at a low
temperature until it gets soft. We put inside also the plums, the
almonds, and the honey or the sugar and we leave them to boil for a
few minutes.
Finally, we will provide you with a Mediterranean diet food list. It
contains cheese, eggs, fish and seafood, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts,
olive oil, red wine, vegetables, and yogurt.Atn the top of the pyramid
contains meat, and poultry and on the lower broader base, there are
dairy products, oils, fruits, and vegetables.
VII. How to Lose Weight With Fiber
Fiber is the portion of plant material that humans are not able to
digest. There are two kinds of dietary fiber, soluble and insoluble. Both
are important for proper bowel function. Soluble fiber dissolves in
water, forming a gel in the intestines. Insoluble fiber passes through
the digestive system almost intact, adding bulk to the stool and acting
as a sponge to absorb water. If you have gone through all kinds of diet
plans or programs such as diet pills and supplements, and despite all
your efforts you can't seem to lose weight, then you might be not
eating enough fiber.
Study shows that people eat as much as 60% of fevery dayryday,
85% are in ideal weight. In the US they only average about 15% of

10. fiber being consumed per person, this may be the the cause of obesity
in 60% of adults.
Here are some foods that are high in fiber:
1. Dried Bean
Dried bean is high in fiber and contains proteins. Fiber-rich dried
beans like some other complex carbohydrates make you more likely to
feel full sooner. Therefore, it is an ideal food for weight loss. Also, a
diet high in fiber can reduce the risk of colon cancer, as well as
cholesterol levels that we know may cause heart diseases.
2. Acai Berry
Acai Berry is filled with vitamins and minerals that can aid in weight
loss, building muscle, and increasing overall energy. Acai berry helps
to increase your calorie consumption rates such as burning more
calories while doing the regular chores and exercises. This increased
metabolism rate leads to substantial weight loss.
3. Whole Grain Products
Whole grain cereals are very nutritional as they are a good source of
vitamins, phytochemicals, and minerals that are needed in your day-
to-day life. Whole grain products generally take a longer time to
digest, agiveus gives a feeling of fullness that discourages a person
under a weight loss program from overeating. This is how it helps in
weight loss.
4. Broccoli
Broccoli not only has low calories, but is aso inexpensive. Broccoli is
one of the tastiest and healthiest vegetables, and it's readily available
year-round. Broccoli helps you lose weight because they are high in
fiber and water, so you get a lot of food for a few calories.
5. Celery
Celery has a high concentration of calcium that ignites your endocrine
system. The hormones help to break up the accumulation of fat build-
up, resulting in weight loss.

11. 6. Spinach
Spinach is a dark green, negative calories vegetable. It is an excellent
source of powerful disease-fighting antioxidants and a good source of
iron, vitamins, and minerals. Spinach is loaded with fiber and one cup
of steamed spinach has only 42 calories.
7. Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds are high in protein, nutrients, and fiber. It contains lots
of Omega fatty acids which means nuts and seeds can get you feel
more full and keep you from overeating as the result of weight loss.
All of the above are the foods we eat daiy, and contain high amounts
of fiber that help to improve bowel function and transition time as well
as weight loss.
VIII. Negative Calorie Foods
These foods causes you to lose weight because they contains such a
small amount of calories that it takes more calories to digest them,
then the food itself contains. An example would be a food that
contains 25 calories, but takes 50 calories for you body to break down
and digest.
Celery
First if you've ever eaten celery you know it takes some work to chew,
and with 1 stalk containing just 5 calories the chewing alone will
probably burn more calories then the celery contains

drinking ice water instead of regular tap water will cause your body to
burn extra calories in order to bring its temperature back to normal.
Tangerines
