2. Lean Protein
Great for the muscle tissues - and the amino acids found in protein are more difficult for the body to metabolize than either fat or carbohydrates.
In other words, the body requires more energy to burn protein than other nutrients.
The body also doesn’t store protein as efficiently as it does carbohydrates or fat - and in turn requires more oxygen and increases the feeling of fullness and satisfaction after eating.
3. Low Fat Foods
Much better than the bad kinds of fat like the ‘trans fat’. Our body needs fat to function, hence make the choice to cook low fat foods.
But on one condition, you can’t eat more than you normally would.
No matter how good the calories are, eating too many calories during the day will result is weight gain.
4. Good Carbohydrates
We need carbohydrates in our diet.
Avoid the bad, refined carbohydrates like potato chips, white bread, donuts and others - as most of the good nutrition has been stripped away.

Your carbohydrates should come from foods such as, fresh organic fruit, vegetables, salads and healthy grains like; organic brown rice, buckwheat, oats and rye bread.
All of these foods are in their natural state as nature intended.
5. Drink Water
Research shows that snacking in particular is often the result of mistaking thirst for hunger.
Drinking plenty of water during the day will control hunger - best yet, has no calories!
So forget the soda drinks and eliminate all kinds of liquid calories from your diet.
6. Have Snacks
The next time you snack, do it on healthy foods.
Instead of turning to a bag of chips or cookies, reach for a piece of fruit instead or low fat snacks. Nuts or seeds would be an even better choice with high protein, high fiber, and healthy fat.
Snacking also increases your metabolic rate, burning 10 per cent more kilojoules.
