Great tips on fast and nutritious weight loss foods to get you in shape in no time.

At this time of year, the holidays provide so many tempting foods, almost everyone gains at least a few pounds, leading right to that top of the list New Year’s resolution: I want to lose x amount of pounds. There are diets and weight loss programs of every description. One program may work for one person and not for another, probably due to the faqt that the individual’s metabolism or simply the food choices of the particular weight loss plan. In some cases, people can’t deal with what seem to be tiny portions of food that aren’t satisfying enough to stay with the program.

Building your own diet program around weight loss foods is easy enough. So what constitutes weight loss food? Foods that are high in fiber, loaded with antioxidants and are low in fat and refined sugars. It is Simple as that.

In any case, we’ve got some weight loss food that is failsafe and will get you to your goal in a hurry. Now surely you know that packing your plate with fruits and veggies will not only fill you up, but are extremely low in calories. Many people are instantly put off, to think that they must consume two fruits or veggies at each meal and two more as a morning and afternoon snack in order to meet their quota.

Let’s first consider how this might be achieved without feeling you’re being overwhelmed with produce. For a nutritious breakfast that meets the requirements, try some of these ideas for delicious weight loss food. Almost everyone likes banana bread. Substitute a cup of applesauce for a portion of the liquid called for in the recipe and use a sugar substitute. Make a fruit smoothie, incorporating three of your favorite fruits and blend it up with some yogurt or low fat milk. Have an apple, followed by a couple of slices of whole grain toast. Practice eating slowly. Due to the fiber content of produce, you’ll feel full.

For a mid-morning snack, enjoy a one cup serving of a mixed fruit salad, a small bowl of fresh or frozen strawberries with a dressing of non-dairy topping or a banana. You’ll easily feel satisfied until lunch.

For lunch, go for a chef’s salad drizzled with a low fat dressing, or a 4 ounce piece of lean meat with a side of mixed vegetables.

For your afternoon snack, a few celery sticks and a bit of spinach dip should do the trick.

Dinner? Fish is an excellent choice, as is a skinless chicken breast or lean pork chop. Serve a dinner salad on the side. Dress your meat with a salsa. Applesauce, or baked sliced apples sprinkled with cinnamon, goes well with pork.

Weight loss foods are abundant. You may well find that you can’t even eat all of this food – you’ll be too full! Now add up all the calories. You’ll be astonished at how little this number will be. Not only that, but fiber rich foods often burn more calories in digesting them, than they contain. Now that’s weight loss food!

Here’s a really great tip. Get a book on seasonings and marinades. Use herbal salt substitutes that spark the flavor like salt, but contain no salt.

Exercise! Just 30 minutes a day, 4-5 days each week. Drink 8 big glasses of water and avoid hight calorie drinks like sodas. You’ll be rewarded with quick weight loss, increased vigor and good health that lasts a lifetime!
