Eat quality food to lose weight

    There is a simple way to stay slim. Eat quality food instead of worrying about the amount of food you eat. Experts at the Harvard School of Public Health in America revealed that small lifestyle changes can make all the difference and help one stay in shape. Consuming bigger amounts of healthier food rather than smaller amounts of poor quality produce is the key. They said that focusing on calories alone would not help. Instead, the best way to stay at a healthy weight is to eat nutritious food of good quality.
    They recommend that people watching their weight need to cut out fizzy, sugarsweetened drinks, potatoes and refined grain foods like white rice and low-fibre breakfast cereals. And they should eat a lot more ‘natural’ foods, like fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and yogurt, while avoiding anything processed. “Small dietary and other lifestyle changes can together make a big difference – for bad or good. This makes it easy to gain weight unintentionally, but also demonstrates the tremendous opportunity for prevention,” the report quoted Dariush Mozaffaria, study co-author as saying.
    Nutritionist Angela Dowden said, “This research singles out once again the benefits of minimally processed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and yogurt. As well as being nutrient-dense they are satiating and their fibrous nature also require slightly more energy to digest.”
