Foods To Lose Weight - Mega List Of 79 Low Calorie Belly Filling Foods

When it comes to foods to lose weight, fiber is right up there on the top of the list. Getting an adequate amount of fiber in your daily diet not only helps with your digestive system, but eating foods with fiber can help tremendously with weight loss, fat loss, and several other health issues.

Fiber is great for weight loss since it increases satiety (fullness). The recommended amount of fiber daily is 20-35 grams.

Part of the reason of the obesity crisis right here in America is not just due to the consumption of carbs and fats, but also due to a lack of fiber in our diets. We consume less than 50% of our daily requirement of fiber daily, and sadly, our children may be consuming less than 20%....and that is due to the popularity of those unhealthy foods targeted to children. It's time to put an end to it.

Now, just eating fiber is obviously not going to cut it, you are going to have to include other important nutrients in your diet (which I'll explain more at the end of the list).

Now, although eating the proper foods to lose weight is the backbone of any diet, as I always say, make sure you practice the other principles of a healthy lifestyle in order to successfully lose weight, burn fat, and improve your overall health. Those principles are:

• Drinking plenty of water daily (1/2 to 1 gallon of water daily)
• Getting plenty of sleep every night (7-8 hours)
• Cardio exercise (I recommend high intensity cardio as it will provide the best results)
• Weight training exercise
• And most importantly....STAY CONSISTENT! Consistency is key if you want to see results.
