Introduction

One of the best ways to lose weight is by adopting a nutritious low-calorie diet. There are many low-calorie food items that can provide the same amount of nutritional benefits as their higher calorie alternatives.

Liquid Gold aka Olive Oil

Olive oil is the ingredient with highest monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) content. This is important because higher the content of MUFA in the diet lowers the amount of bad cholesterol and triglyceride. The probability of having heart diseases, high blood pressure and stroke is less with the use of olive oil. Higher MUFA helps in weight loss and reduction of fat around the belly area. Three powerful antioxidants Vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols are present in olive oil. Olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties and it can help prevent many heart diseases. For people suffering from diabetes, extra virgin olive oil is the best option. Olive oil is the number one ingredient in diets prescribed to control obesity. It is a low-calorie fat that only benefits the body in wonderful ways.

Secret Ingredients

Best tip for better diet habits is choosing whole grains over refined grains. The reason for converting to unrefined grain is due to the fact that these have their bran intact. These results in more fiber, vitamins, magnesium, zinc etc. Also, the extra fiber will make a person feel full which results in the person feeling full with fewer amounts of calories. Fruits and vegetables are important in everybody’s diet. And these generally have low calories. Among fruits, the ones with least amount of calories are - apples, strawberries, oranges, grapefruits, watermelon, tangerines, and apricots. These have a lot of dietary fiber and Vitamin C.

Spinach, mushrooms, carrots, kelp, red bell peppers, asparagus, tomatoes, green beans, celery, broccoli, zucchini, cauliflower, summer squash, and onions are the top low-calorie vegetables with countless benefits. Sugar (maple syrup, honey, white sugar, corn syrup etc) and sodium intake must be reduced drastically while adopting a low-calorie diet. The last tip on what a low-calorie diet should include is to reduce the amount of meat and switch from whole milk dairy products to low-fat dairy products. Conscious and mindful eating in healthy proportions must be encouraged.

Boiling vegetables can at times lead to the removal of important nutrients and minerals. But steaming vegetables does not have any such consequences. Almost all beneficial aspects of the vegetables are retained along with enhanced flavor. Grilling vegetables and meat with extra virgin olive oil and making salads are also super healthy cooking practices.
