What foods work well with losing weight?<\/p>\n

Vegetables, that’s what! – the more the merrier.<\/p>\n

When you finally get going on your diet, you’ll probably have a list of foods specific to your personal diet needs.\u00a0 However, that may not happen in your case.<\/p>\n

This article is not about choosing your diet.\u00a0 Everyone has to make that decision.\u00a0 As soon as you decide to go on a diet, you have to decide:\u00a0 which diet?<\/p>\n

That’s a personal choice that I’m not discussing now.\u00a0 What I’m discussing is\u00a0 foods that will work well for losing weight – generic diet foods.<\/p>\n

Whatever diet you are on, a good guideline is this:\u00a0 Eat vegetables throughout your day.<\/p>\n

When you first begin your diet, choose three non-starchy vegetables each day.\u00a0 Later on, work yourself up to five.\u00a0 Finally, make seven vegetables each day your new habit.<\/p>\n

Begin with some vegetables at breakfast.\u00a0 A good example is scrambling veggies in your eggs:\u00a0 peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, for example.<\/p>\n

At lunch, enjoy a large salad or vegetable soup.<\/p>\n

Good snacks include hummus with your cucumber slices and bell pepper slices.<\/p>\n

Carrots sticks and celery slices are easy at snacks and meals.<\/p>\n

Fresh veggies are best, but you may use frozen if that’s what’s available.<\/p>\n

Vegetables listed below should be good on most any weight-loss diet.\u00a0 You may find a few on this list that won’t work for you.\u00a0 \u00a0Veggies to avoid are those served creamed, or with a cheese sauce.\u00a0 Breaded vegetables are not a good option.\u00a0 Anything in a creamy dressing is a bad choice.\u00a0 This also includes fried vegetables.<\/p>\n

Overall, this list should be adaptable to your needs:<\/p>\n

alfalfa sprouts, artichokes, asparagus, arugula<\/p>\n

beets, bok choy, broccoli, butternut squash<\/p>\n

cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, celery root, collard greens, corn, cucumbers<\/p>\n

edamame, eggplant, green beans<\/p>\n

Italian beans<\/p>\n

kale<\/p>\n

lettuce of all varieties, lima beans<\/p>\n

mushrooms, mustard greens<\/p>\n

okra, onion<\/p>\n

parsnips, peas, peppers (all varieties), potatoes<\/p>\n

radishes (all varieties), rhubarb<\/p>\n

sauerkraut, snow peas, soy beans, spaghetti squash, spinach, split peas, summer squash, sweet potatoes, Swiss chard<\/p>\n

tomato, turnips,<\/p>\n

wax beans, winter squash<\/p>\n

yams, yellow squash<\/p>\n

zucchini<\/p>\n

Fruits are not quite as easy.\u00a0 Some diets don’t include many fruits.\u00a0 Also, diabetics need to talk to a medical professional or dietitian before eating much fruit.\u00a0 Skip the canned fruits, even in their own natural juices.\u00a0 Dried fruits and fruit chips are not a good option.\u00a0 Fruits that have been processed are not a good option.<\/p>\n

apples, apricots<\/p>\n

bananas, blackberries, blueberries<\/p>\n

cantaloupe,\u00a0cherries, clementines<\/p>\n

grapefruit, grapes<\/p>\n

honeydew melon<\/p>\n

kiwi<\/p>\n

mango<\/p>\n

nectarines<\/p>\n

orange<\/p>\n

papaya, peach, pear, pineapple, plum, pomegranate<\/p>\n

raspberries<\/p>\n

strawberries<\/p>\n

tangerine<\/p>\n

watermelon<\/p>\n

Whatever your diet, if you eat more fresh fruit and vegetables and fewer processed foods, you’ll lose weight, clean out your arteries, balance your blood pressure, and reduce your health care costs.<\/p>\n

Whatever diet you finally choose, I hope you’ll join this blog on your journey.\u00a0 I’ll be sending\u00a0 you tips, information, and tactics to help make your weight control easier.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping you’ll find that eating well is not difficult but IS delicious.\u00a0 I’m also hoping that you’ll find your diet will be easier.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
