Anyone can maintain a good health just by following two essential points – (1) have fat and cholesterol free healthy diet and (2) do exercise (or simply walk). Health practitioners usually do not suggest their clients to stay on fasting, rather they prefer to suggest them having nutritional food that eventually contribute to weight loss.

Chilled Soups

Cold or chilled soups can serve the purpose of low calorie dishes. It is excellent to take prior having meal. Also several health researchers confirm that having this type of low-calorie broth-based soup can actually minimize the amount of meal you can intake by providing you a sense of fullness.

Watermelon

Most of the health experts recommend having watermelon if you are really serious about loosing or maintaining your weight. Watermelon, being one of the best weight loss foods, satisfies your demand for fluid in the body while providing you a sweet flavor and a sense of fullness. Watermelon contains carotenoid compounds like lycopene and beta carotene that offer a wide range of health benefits ranging from immunizing against cancer to preventing from sun-burn. The juice of watermelon in combination with cucumber is an excellent delicious weight loss choice.

Grilled Veggie

Without a dish of grilled vegetable on your dinning table, your diet plan with weight loss foods may not be adequate enough. You may add grilled onion, eggplant, carrots, garlic, zucchini and asparagus as a part of your healthy diet.

Salad

No one can possibly avoid having salad in their daily diet if he or she really cares to stay tuned. It is not only one of the healthy weight loss foods, but also easy to prepare. A handful of toasted nuts with whole grain roll, salad greens, ginger vinaigrette or raspberry can provide you a wonderful delicious salad with a promise of well health. You may garnish the salads using herbs from your kitchen garden and a sprinkle of the herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage and parsley can make all the difference. Apart from that you may take several health drinks that never blow your diet. These may include root bear, white wine spritzer, tart lemon pom spritzer and many others. Mostly these beverages are prepared with lemon juice, and pure drinking water. In case of white wine spritzer, you need to add white wine.

Fruit Desserts

Most of us feel that without a dessert at the end of the meal, the meal seems incomplete. But desserts have a high risk for promoting fat and cholesterol to our health system. If you prepare them with natural fruits such as grilled white peaches mixed with blackberries and honey, it will definitely add no extra calories to your diet and offer you an experience of weight loss foods in return.

    thank you for sharing :)

  2. Chilled soups like gazpacho or cucumber-dill that contain lots of chunky vegetables are a great way to start a meal.
    Research shows that a low-calorie, broth-based soup at the beginning of the meal will fill you so you eat less at the meal
