High Fibre Carbs burn more calories!

sweatadmin — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 21:40:18 +0000

Burn more calories by EATING HIGH FIBRE CARBOHYDRATES: High fibre carbohydrates are harder to digest than simple carbohydrates and therefore have a greater thermic effect. On top of this foods that are high in fibre are generally lower in calories (because fibre itself contains no calories), help suppress your appetite and provide you with many more fantastic benefits. High fibre foods include fruits, vegetables and whole grain products so where possible make sure your dietary carbohydrates come from these sources

To Eat Less: Put a Fork In it!

An easy way to eat less is to eat slower which gives you chance for your stomach to realise it’s full, this also aids digestion. You could also use your non-dominant hand to eat. You’ll be more mindful of what you’re eating and end up consuming less. (Using chopsticks works, too, especially if you’re not a pro.) Just have plenty of napkins on hand.

To Eat Less: Use a smaller plate!

Use a smaller plate at meal times which results in smaller portions. Alternatively you can buy a Portion Plate (Amazon) that shows you partitions for meat (a quarter of the plate), whole grains (another quarter), and fruits and vegetables (half the plate), along with pictures of foods in the proper serving sizes to guide you.

Nuts are packed with protein and a healthy way to snack. In an Eastern Illinois University study, people who were given shelled pistachios ate 211 calories’ worth while those who had the in-shell variety (you crack ‘em open) consumed only 125 calories in the same sitting.

This news article made me smile so thought I’d share it with you!

‘Britain’s fattest orangutan’ Oshine loses 20kg on diet

An orangutan said to be the fattest in Britain has lost a fifth of her body weight after being put on a diet.

Oshine tipped the scales at 100kg (15 stone) – more than double her natural weight – but lost 20kg (3 stone) in 11 months after a lifestyle change.

The 14-year-old ape has cut out sweets, jelly and marshmallows, and instead tucks into a healthy diet of fruit, vegetables and plenty of exercise.

She arrived at Monkey World in Dorset last year from South Africa. Oshine was previously kept as a pet in Johannesburg for 13 years.
