Hey!
Are you stuck with salad at a party while your friends enjoy cheesy pizza?
We are not saying salad is bad.
But that’s the hard part of being health conscious.
You might be able to keep up with this difficult diet for some time.
But when you get bored you end up eating calorie bombs.
You need some real tasty food.
In today's video, we’ll be discussing foods that never make you fat if you remember the
golden word “ moderation.”
Are you allowed pasta?
What about wine?
We're talking all that and more...
How long has it been since you have enjoyed churros with chocolate sauce?
Scared about the fat and sugar in them?
(pause)
We have a healthy replacement for these treats.
Apple fingers and peanut butter dip!
Just cut up thin slices of red or green apples and dip them in peanut butter.
You can even eat pears in this manner.
Devour it when you fancy some dessert.
It can especially work on your 4.00 PM cravings.
The star ingredient that elevates this entire dish is the delightfully creamy peanut butter.
A spoonful of the chunky variant contains 100 calories per tablespoon.
That's not something you would want when you are on a weight-loss mission, right?
But surprisingly a study showed that consuming nuts and nut butter regularly lowered the
risk of weight gain and obesity in 50,000 women.
It also has monounsaturated fats which are also great for your heart.
But don't rush to add PB and J's back to your diet.
We’re coming up with a healthy twist in a minute.
Eating dollops of peanut butter alone is not going to make you lose weight.
Peanut butter keeps you full for a longer time by suppressing the blood sugar level.
The high protein and fiber content will automatically make you feel less inclined to eat chocolates.
Peanut butter simply makes delicious dipping sauces, fillings, dressing for your Thai salads
and smoothies.
Want to know what else makes a fabulous smoothie?
Bananas!
(pause)
It's about time that this fruit comes clean.
Bananas have always been tagged as “fattening fruits.”
But in reality, they make pretty weight loss-friendly food.
A medium banana will give 105 calories with vitamins and fiber- the ultimate weight reducer.
If you have fiber regularly you’ll have no problem losing a few pounds.
In fact, a study has shown women can lose half a pound of their body weight with every
extra gram of fiber they eat.
You can add bananas to your oatmeal and smoothies.
Don't forget to add a spoonful of peanut butter to it.
Want even better results with this fruit?
Then try some green bananas.
They also go by the name plantains.
They have higher resistant starch as compared to the yellow ones.
Studies have shown that it can burn fat faster and keep you satiated.
You can add them to your savory dishes like soups, salads, and sauces too.
People believe that you get too many carbs from bananas.
Which is right…
But your body needs carbs as well.
It's a major food group and is the main source of energy.
If you are depriving your body it will come back as a boomerang and make you eat all the
carb-rich cakes and doughnuts.
You might have seen all weight watchers craving pasta, bread and noodles.
And why shouldn't they?
They are so yummy!
They probably believe that carbs will make them fat.
But not if you stick to strict portion control.
Having a cup of pasta or a sandwich is absolutely fine.
You can even switch to whole grain or multigrain varieties that will keep you full for longer
and aid in digestion.
As promised, here comes the recipe of healthy PB and J...
Well, we'll just say PB and B instead of J. You must have guessed it right.
We are adding bananas instead of jelly to add sweetness.
And whole wheat or multigrain loaf instead of the white bread.
We’re sure you'll love this revamped version.
Enjoy your carbs a little cautiously.
Don't forget to put multigrain crackers on your grocery list this month.
Looking for a healthy dip to go along with those crackers?
How about some hummus?
(pause)
It not only looks and tastes creamy but it has some amazing ingredients that boost the
weight loss process.
This Middle Eastern dip or a spread is made by blending chickpeas, some sesame seeds,
lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil.
It's densely packed with plant proteins and is extremely delicious.
Research has shown that if you are a regular hummus or chickpeas eater you'll be less likely
to be obese and have a lower BMI.
Scientists compared the waist circumference of people who regularly consumed it and people
who did not.
The participants who ate hummus had 2.2 inches smaller waist circumferences than those who
didn’t.
It's time to crack open another weight loss wonder food.
(pause)
We’re hinting at eggs.
But not just the egg whites.
You need to stop discarding the yolks.
They are the cheapest source of vitamins and proteins that will help you build muscle.
There isn't a better way to start your day than omelets, hard-boiled eggs, or frittatas.
The egg yolk will have a little more calories but the thermic effect of food will use those
calories for the digestion process.
So instead of having many egg whites just try having 1 to 2 whole eggs.
Poached eggs and toast on your cooking list for Sunday brunch?
Check!
You probably eat more green leafy vegetables when you are concerned about your weight.
But are you eating enough of the green guac?
(pause)
Avocados are rich in fats.
But those are the good fats that your body needs.
It gives them that typical creamy texture.
No wonder you can make delicious rich smoothies when you blend one in your mix.
1 serving will have approximately 125 calories.
Avocados contain bioactive compounds and many nutrients that will stop you from becoming
overweight or obese.
For an easy peasy breakfast just slice them up on top of your toast.
But generally, breakfast is not the time when you run out of patience.
It's generally the midnight cravings that make you slip up from your diet plan.
This is where you open a bag of chips and finish it all by yourself.
30 minutes down the line you start feeling terrible.
What if you could swipe this with an equally crunchy snack?
(pause)
We're talking about popcorn.
Interestingly, there is research that proves popcorn is more satiating than potato chips.
If you want to take it a notch further you can try air popping the whole grain popcorn
without any butter.
It will be a smart choice for managing your body weight, maintaining energy, and keeping
hunger pangs away.
We have just made the potato chips the villain.
But that doesn't mean potatoes are bad in general.
Have you heard of the Spud diet?
(pause)
According to a weird study if you eat just potatoes for two whole months for all your
meals and snacking you would be losing somewhere around 12 Pounds depending on your age, body
weight, gender, and type of activity that you do.
You have to eat it baked without adding any gravy, sour cream, or cheese.
Huh!
Were you thinking of french fries?
Try just a few seasonings.
It's such a versatile tuber!
There are too many ways of having it, from mashed to grilled.
But this may seem wild and your body will be majorly missing on other nutrients.
So always enjoy in moderation.
More research found that regular potato intake did not cause weight gain in active men and
women.
Another insanely great food is cottage cheese.
(pause)
A few folks even make their own.
Don't worry if you're not into displaying culinary exuberance.
It will be readily available at your grocery store in containers.
Your breakfast bowls, dips, pancakes, sandwiches, scrambled eggs, pasta, and salads can taste
divine by adding this cheese.
It is fresh and not aged like the other varieties.
It's white and has a soft chewy texture.
Studies have shown it to be a great source of calcium. 100 grams will have 83 mg of Calcium.
It is especially important for women and athletes.
It's effective in reducing weight and managing type 2 diabetes.
But if you are a meat lover and looking for protein options then you would want to stick
to the lean cuts.
Chicken and turkey are much healthier than red meat.
100 grams of lean meat will contain about 185 calories.
If you start adding these portions to your meals you will automatically eat 12% less
of other food by weight.Studies say that high carb and meatless meals are bound to make
you fat.
So continue having grilled chicken and turkey in your meals.
Now that most of the food groups are settled let's look at a few drinks.
(pause)
What fun is a party without a little indulgence?
You can safely have a glass or two of wine a week.
That way you won’t feel left out.
Red wine has always been preferred by many for its potential benefits.
But could a glass of red wine be your secret to weight loss?
Studies have shown light-to-moderate alcohol intake, especially wine, may be more likely
to protect against weight gain.
That’s another reason to love your vino!
But remember this is true only if you have a glass or two.
The moment you empty half a bottle you will go above your calorie budget.
Now here’s the deal with white wine…
(pause)
White wine has about 121 calories.
Researchers believe that daily consumption of white wine in moderate amounts did not
cause an increase in body fat or waist circumference.
Looking for a corkscrew?
Be watchful that you don't increase the number of drinks.
It will probably make you hungry and make you crave all the unwanted junk foods.
No fitness goal is complete without staying active.
Exercising is one of the many tips that help to get rid of the extra flab.
