7 Natural Foods to Help You Lose Weight

Came across this interesting item We all love our steaks and our spuds but what if we could make them healthier? Well, according to research currently being conducted all over the world, there are certain spices, vegetables and fruits that can actually turn an unhealthy dish into one that burns the cals! snip As others have suggested, absolute bunkum! Putting a sprinkle of black pepper on a super sized hot chilli pizza is not going to turn it into a healthy nutritious slimming snack. Using these (and other) natural foods within a strictly calorie controlled diet may increase your metabolic effectiveness slightly, but the main thing is just not to eat more than you need to replace energy used during a 24 hour period. This smacks of 'magic cure' thinking - "Oh, it's all right to eat all these massive meals as long as I include some black pepper and coconut milk in them". Followed by blaming the scientists (or the world in general) when it doesn't work. Oh, and as far as I know steak isn't unhealthy apart from the links between red meat and carbonised food with some forms of cancer. Spuds are far more likely to do you damage because overloading on carbohydrates is the thing that piles the weight on. Look at high protein/high fat low carbohydrate diets - there is a lot of support for this as a healthy way of living. http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf and http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/low-c...-fat-diet.html Cheers Dave R |
