What are some healthy weight loss foods? -

i work out from 2 hours a day id just like to know what foods to eat if i wanted to lose weight. like, whats healthy? veges grilled chicken and fish....any ideas?

Pretty much all vegetables are good. Some have a little more calories than others but generally they have few calories and lots of fiber. Also, if you like bread or pasta, try to eat whole wheat and make sure they don t just contain wheat but actually are whole wheat. They not only have fiber and less processed grains, but whole wheat has been found to have other health benefits as well. Try to drink plenty of fluids but not juice or soda. Drink water, and if you don t like just plain water, drink flavored seltzer waters that don t have calories or very few. People don t realize it when they drink all their calories because they don t feel full. Turkey has less fat than chicken, and make sure you eat baked chicken or saute it in a small amount of olive oil and use seasonings for flavoring (i.e. spices, garlic, onions, etc.). Try to avoid too much salt because that can make you retain water. You do need some sodium in your diet though. That s it for now. Good luck.

you dont have to change your foods just change portions.. eat half of what you would normally eat or about the size of your fist.

nothing processed and nothing too grease

working out 2 hours a day, depending on your type of workout, should be enough to keep you at a healthy weight. but i wouldn t be too concerned with weight loss because you might put on muscle weight. eat vegetables as raw as possible. eat fruit. all those cliches prove true time and again. and drink WATER.
