Some Foods For Weight Loss and Diabetes Management

By Lindelwa Maseko


Medicine has proved that weight gain is primarily caused by excess food consumption and the number of cases where weight is gained by a hormonal imbalance or thyroid malfunction is relatively low. Perhaps by learning a little more about food that helps you lose weight it will help with your weight problem.

Some foods help control weight while others actively promote the burning of excess body fat. There are several categories of weight loss food you should have a look at, and here are a few of them to give you an idea about how diverse a diet can be.

You should try meals that have a variety of vegetables and although all will be good for you there are some that are better when it comes to weight loss like peas, boiled beans, cabbage and brussels. You can enjoy the delicious spaghetti with tomato sauce and low-fat veal without having to count the calories in it.

Many meals highlight the combination of steamed white fish and vegetables a healthy low calorie option and you can even add mashed potatoes to this mix without worrying about calories. Weight loss foods also include the likes of cream cheese (low fat variety), rice (dark), porridge oats and any of the varieties of yoghurt.

Fruit and vegetables added to the weight loss food list are numerous and highly diverse so besides grapefruit, oranges and lemons, that even make the basis for some diets, it is well known the role apples have in the stimulation of metabolism. Fruits like kiwi, strawberries and water melons are also good if you are pursuing a weight loss food program. The next worth mentioning are grapes; however, avoid high-calorie fruit such as bananas or figs. As for vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, celery and lettuce are among the favorites when it comes to long-term dietary plans.

What should also be obvious is the omissions made here like sandwiches, fast food and sweet things like cakes are all going to cause problems and are in no way considered weight loss foods. Many foods that we enjoy like mayonnaise, dark chocolate, ice-cream and even cookies are being made in low fat versions that still retain a flavor almost as good as the full fat versions. However, you will still need to check the ingredients on the packaging as some of these may not be the ideal foods to eat if you are on a certain diet.
