The most effective foods on a diet are the ones you DONT eat.

chew your entire mouthufl of food, swallow, then put more food in your mouth. so dont shovel it all in. excercise before eating helps you control your portions. do jumping jacks everytime before you open uo the refridgerator. drink lots and lots of water.

All the fresh fruit you want in the morning, fresh vegies for snacks all you want, tomato or vegie juice in the afternoon, and good sensible meals. No fast food, or already made food from the store freezer.

IF you want to lose weight the best is lots of fruits, fresh vegetables, nuts, berries along with protein and whole wheat bread. My saying is Nature, color, texture. If you eat natural foods, that is what is intended. If you don’t lose, you will not gain. Green tea is a natural food that has a lot of antioxidents and ups your metabolizm. Believe me!! I am no expert. I can down lots of twinkies, ho ho’s and ice cream, but when I want to shed a few I eat healthy and at least feel great!!!

Low Carb Dieting Tip
Your rate of metabolism dictates how many calories you burn. Heredity, gender, age, body size. diet and nutrition, activity level, and your overall health factor in on determining how high or low your metabolism is. It is normal for metabolism levels to lower as a person ages. Because of this it is important to begin stepping up your exercise routines in your thirties and forties.
Ways to Boost Your Metabolism
Eat Regularly – Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day will give you energy throughout the day–helping you to burn calories. Whereas, calories eaten during larger meals tend to get stored as fat.
Maintain a Balanced Diet – Not only how often you eat is important, but your food choices are equally as important. Nurture you body with the appropriate balance of protein and carbs.
Eating whole foods rather than processed food gives your digestive system a workout that burns calories. For example: choose an apple over apple juice.
Workout with Weights – Building muscle mass will replace stored fat. As you build muscle tissue your metabolism increases.
Don’t Forget Cardio – You need to get that heart rate up and breathe a little heavier. Twenty to thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity 5 days a week is recommended. Brisk walking or swimming are good. Or utilize exercise equipment (exercise bike, treadmill, or elliptical trainer)
Fruits and vegetables are clearly an important part of a good diet. Almost everyone can benefit from eating more of them, but variety is as important as quantity. No single fruit or vegetable provides all of the nutrients you need to be healthy. The key lies in the variety of different fruits and vegetables that you eat.
Some basic fruit and vegetable tips:
•Try to eat more fruits and vegetables. If you need 2,000 calories a day to maintain your weight and health, aim for at least nine servings (4½ cups) a day.
•Choose a variety of different fruits and vegetables. It’s easy to get into a rut when it comes to the food you eat. Break out and try a wider variety – include dark-green, leafy vegetables; yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables; cooked tomatoes; and citrus fruits.
