How
they help you lose? |
| SWEET
POTATOES |
 |
Their
high fibre and high and complex carbohydrate content helps regulate
blood sugar levels and satisfy the appetite. They are also loaded
with cancer fighting vitamin A |
| LEAFY
GREENS (Drumstick leaves, amaranth, spinach) |
|
They
fill you up with fibre and not many calories. And the fuller you
are, the less room for higher calorie foods. They are also a great
source of vitamins and minerals. |
| LEAN
PROTEINS (skinless chicken, fish, egg whites) |
 |
Some
people feel more satisfied after a meal that includes small amounts
of high protein foods. |
| FRUITS
(Apples, grapes, mangoes, guavas, papaya, etc) |
|
Sweet
and easy to eat, fruits fill the void between meals, and offer a
satisfying substitute for the desserts such as cakes and cookies.
They are also a great source of insoluble fibre (which helps prevent
constipation ), pectin (a fibre component that fights cholesterol),
and many antioxidants. |
| VEGETABLES
(Carrots, cabbage, lady finger, french beans, beets etc) |
|
Veggies
provide the crunchy sensation we miss when we cut down snacking on
high calorie items. They are loaded with fibre, vitamins and
minerals. |
| WHOLE GRAINS (Brown rice, barley,
bulgur wheat) |
|
Their
chewy texture helps slow down your eating while filling you up with
fibre. The nutty flavour helps satisfy your taste buds |
| BEANS AND LEGUMES |
|
A
fabulous source of fibre and protein, beans are an excellent main
dish substitute for higher fat animal proteins. |
