Food for weight loss!

pheno

Hi,

What sort of food should you be eating most/least to lose weight?

Thanks.

If you just want to lose weight, eat less calories than you burn.

If you want to do it in a sustainable, healthy way then it's more complicated.

How much do you want to lose? What kind of training do you do? Are there any foods you won't eat?

I would like to lose around 10 kgs. I do very little training if any, I stand in work, if that counts hahaha.

I'm not picky about food, so not really.

Perhaps then you should read all the stickies first. Then post specific queries.

You need to count your calories, friend. As for the best foods to help keep hunger at bay without breaking the calorie bank: strawberries(and pretty much every other berry) are surprisingly low in calories and satiating. Sugar free jello, while not necessarily good for you, is filling too, and an entire bowl will only set you back some 30 calories.

Just read up on the hep a warning on frozen berries



Make sure you eat breakfast. When I'm dieting I replace mine with a cup of porridge made with water and added cinnamon keeps you full for the morning

They don't have to eat breakfast.

Protein burns off weight quicker than carbohydrates

No it doesn't.

Seriously, read the pinned threads.

The three macronutrients of food are proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The caloric cost for your body to use them differs. In relation to the thermic effect, refined processed carbohydrates and fats have only a 3% rate (approximately). This means that it requires only 3 calories for your body to use/burn 100 calories of refined carbohydrates and fats.

Some proteins, however, have up to a 30% rate! Therefore, they are often referred to as fat burning foods or the foods that speed up metabolism. Some proteins are even better than other proteins are. Those are the super-charged proteins.

A high-protein diet not only promotes hypertrophy but also enhances fat loss. Researchers at Skidmore College (Saratoga Springs, New York) found that when subjects followed a high-protein diet–40% of total daily calories from protein–for eight weeks, they lost significantly more bodyfat, particularly abdominal fat, than those following a low-fat/high-carb diet. One reason eating more protein may work is that it boosts levels of peptide YY, a hormone produced by gut cells that travels to the brain to decrease hunger and increase satiety.

Loran, going by your 2nd post,

Carbs still add on a surplus 97 calories per 100

Protein still adds on a minimum 70 calories per 100 consumed.

So eating carbs nor eating protein will "burn off weight"

I find (for myself) that protein based foods help me to lose weight and keeps me fuller for longer.
