Cutting Fats in the Daily Diet

A way to add fun into your diet without increasing the fat and calories is to opt for no calorie, non-stick butter spray over fatty oils, shortening and lard.

Low Calorie Options for Dieters, Fresh Fruit, Nuts, Eggs & Vegetables to the Rescue

Calorie-free is going to be a bit difficult to find in your pantry or fridge, but the following food comes pretty close: 1/2 grapefruit with Splenda or Equal - 37 calories.

Sliced mushrooms and onions make an awesome dish when sauteed in a bit of no calorie, non-stick butter spray. Add salt and cracked pepper - and any herbs that you happen to fancy. 

Take note that raw mushrooms are very hard to digest and may cause stomach upset in some individuals.

Almonds -These packed-with-fiber little nuts may hold a key in opening up clogged veins. Although high in fat, it's of the monounsaturated variety which translates into controlling serum cholesterol.

Potatoes and orange juice are excellent potassium- rich food choices. For a low calorie potato option, slice a small potato very thin and 'fry' in non-stick cooking oil for zero additional calories. Enjoy with a bit of catsup if desired.

To burn calories and promote weight loss and optimum nutrition in your diet, eat foods that work with other foods thereby breaking them down at a faster burn rate. This dieting trick is known as Food Combining.

The yolk is extremely high in cholesterol, containing more than two-thirds of the recommended daily limit of 300 mg.

However, the yolk has many health strengths necessary for immunity, healthy skin, nerves and vision. The yolk also contains good amounts of B Vitamins, Vitamin A, iron and riboflavin.

Calories Burned By Walking

 You don't have run 40 miles per day to lose weight. Moderate exercise works more effectively in keeping off as well as in losing excess pounds in comparison to frenzied activity.

When the body is overworked, it simply cannot perform as efficiently as a rested body. It's simply good common sense.

A brisk daily walk for about 10 to 15 minutes will do wonders for weight loss while achieving a stronger, fitter body.

Just 15 minutes of brisk walking results in burning 104 calories in the 150 pound individual.
