Eat This For Faster Fat Loss

Trying to lose a few pounds? Aren’t we all! One of the techniques I’ve learned over the years in coaching my clients who have trouble with cravings and portion control is the “apple trick”. If you have a big restaurant meal coming up perhaps a party with tempting foods or a banquet where you have few healthy choices ,the best way to keep your appetite and your calories in check is to eat an apple before you go. The fiber and the pectin in the skin of the apple expand in your stomach and create a sense of fullness and satisfaction.

[The fruit pectin and fiber found in apples curb your appetite. Plus apples taste delicious. That saying might be true after all. "An apple a day..."]

Have You Seen Those Ads For The Diet Pills That Curb Your Appetite?

They contain fruit pectin and fiber. Save your money and eat apples – they’re much better for you and a lot cheaper. Other fruits like pears, grapefruit, plums, apricots and peaches have similar qualities.

A Recent Study Proved This Theory

Two groups of women were divided into two groups fruit before meals and no fruit before meals. The group that ate the fruit lost more weight even though they were following the same diet plan as the other groups. The key is choosing fruits that are high in fiber and high in water content. Here is another appetite controller:

Eggs Are Back!

Have a hard boiled or scrambled egg for breakfast instead of a bagel to feel satisfied all day. Eggs have been reinstated as a health food( a major nurses study cleared eggs of upping heart attack and stroke risk.) If you have avoided eggs for the cholesterol, fear not it’s safe to eat them again. Eggs are a rich source of nutrients, high in protein and for reasons not completely clear, they make you feel fuller longer. People who eat eggs instead of bagels ( which have the same number of calories) by pass junk food cravings and eat less overall calories in a 24 hour period without even trying.

Keep Lots Of Fresh Fruit On Hand At Home And At The Office

In the car keep dried apricots and prunes. It’s easy to eat high fiber and lose weight when you are prepared. If you have no time for eggs at breakfast prepare a frittata in big batches and cut slices in the morning before you go to work. 30 seconds in the microwave will give you a nutritious and belly filling treat.
