Out with Junk Food, In with these Calories Loss Foods

by Rowena French

If want to reach a weight loss goal, the power of temptation
about the wrong kind of food is enormous, especially when we
can see or even worse, touch or smell it. So, if you have
surrounded yourself with high calorie, high fat foods for a
long while don't be surprised that you've eaten them and
kept gaining weight. To remove the temptation, and to make
sure that you have the right kind of food to promote a
calories loss in your new eating program, overhaul your
kitchen and get that junk food out.

Flavorings are generally low in calories themselves and add
other flavor-filled dimensions to many low calorie meals, so
make sure that you have a variety of these on hand. Foods
influenced by Asian, Middle Eastern or Hispanic cultures
include wonderful flavorings that make them exciting to eat!
Ingredients such as soya sauce and olive oil, as well as
more commonly used salt, lemon salt and pepper can add taste
to meat, fish dishes while low calories mayonnaise can dress
up salads to make them a delicious accompaniment.

Hot and spicy salsa with tomato, onions and chili is another
popular low calorie sauce that can be serves as a dip or as
part of a salad. On a sweeter note, there are low calorie
jams and spreads available for that time of sweet
indulgence. Toast and jam can be part of a breakfast menu
and when eaten as part of a controlled calorie diet are
suitable foods to enable the calories loss you want in your
menu.

Although not necessarily recommended for a large proportion
of your diet, canned foods can substantially add to your
calories loss when they are used to supplement other low cal
foods. Because of their long lasting quality it is good to
have a supply of foods like canned beans for an instant side
vegetable dish, canned tomatoes and tomato paste to make
home made bolognaise sauce, and canned fruit (in its own
juice) for refreshingly delicious dessert. Remember to throw
some canned vegetables into winter casseroles as well.

Canned organic soups and broth are made from the best
ingredients possible and are often the basis of quick, low
calorie meals. Canned foods can also extend to popular tuna
filled with protein and good in a salad or as a cooked meat
dish, hummus a tasty dip made from chickpea as well as
low-fat peanut butter always easy to use and important to
have on hand. Each of these foods can be included in the
easy-to-use category and will contribute to your overall
calories loss.

The cost of fresh fruits and vegetables can be prohibitive
sometimes but whenever you can afford these foods, go ahead
and purchase them. Search out the best store or market where
you can often strike a good deal when buying, especially if
when you purchase foods that are in season and readily
available. Fruit and vegetables are always best fresh in
warmer seasons however they can remain in a calories loss
menu in winter and fall if you search out the best brands of
these foods when they are frozen.

Junk food can take many forms but it is generally high in
calories, salt or fat and does little to satisfy hunger for
long. As available junk food adds to the challenge of weight
loss, the best action to take is to remove it and buy in its
place healthy snacks, all part of a calories loss menu and
enjoyable to eat. Try trail mix, tortilla chips, popcorn or
pretzels along with pita bread dipped in olive oil all with
much fewer calories than salt and vinegar potato chips.

Replacing all your unhealthy junk food will help you
reprogram your own healthy eating patterns and establish
these so that your kids will have them for a lifetime.
Although changing old habits is not always easy and not
having junk food in the house may upset you, stay strong and
don't stop snacking, just eat the healthier alternatives
we've suggested. This is likely to be one of the most
important ways for your calories loss to have a positive
affect on your weight loss, your health and your happiness.
