Eat and Lose Fats

If you, for whatever reason, find that you want to lose fats and yet, would like to eat as much as you feel like, your friends might think you have lost your mind. Fortunately, this is possible. All you need to do is select foods with fewer calories or with a lower energy density.

What is the meaning of lower energy density? Foods that have a high water and fiber content have low energy density. So, eating such foods will cause you to feel satisfied, bloated even, while calorie intake is reduced and you might even lose weight.

One example of low energy density food is fruits. However, note that only fresh fruits qualify. Canned fruits are loaded with sweet and heavy syrup, and that means high sugar content. Avoid dried fruit. Though commonly referred to as a healthy choice, it has four times the energy density of fresh fruit. This is because they don’t have much water in them - concentrated calories. Fresh and whole fruit has the least amount of calories and the highest amount of fullness and satisfaction.

Some fruits for your consideration are grapefruit, melons (watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew), berries (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries), papaya and peach.
