What makes Food Better for Losing Weight?

Posted by Maria Kang on October 5th, 2006

Two “Factors” Play An Important Role In What Makes Food Less Calorie Packed & More Filling:

1. Water - Many fruits and vegetables contain water, which provides volume & no calories. Grapefruit, for example, is about 90 percent water and has just 39 calories in a half-fruit serving. Carrots are about 88 percent water and have only 52 calories in 1 cup.

2. Fiber - High-fiber foods, such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains - not only provide volume, but also take longer to digest, making you more full longer.
