Question 2

what are the food items should be avoided for reducing the weight?

Accepted Answer

Here's what to do: Avoid anything that's greasy (i.e., leaves a grease spot on a paper napkin), sugary, and/or really salty. Avoid the stuff you really like to eat -- this is the real secret. This will help. Your physician can help you determine whether there may be a glandular component to your obesity. If you exercise, your brain will help you make better food choices.

Question 3

food to reduce weight and fat?

Accepted Answer

Insoluble fiber: There are two key features of successful weight loss diets - reduce sugar and increase fiber.  The fiber helps to limit the absorption of sugars so you don't get a blood sugar spike and associated Insulin spike.  Insoluble fiber is the stringy stuff you find in fruits and vegetables - celery carrots, etc.  You can't get that type of fiber from a pill nor from blending up your veggies. Cheers!

Question 4

foods that will increase my weight?

Accepted Answer

Weight is a matter..: ...Of calories in vs. Calories out.  If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight.  That said, do it in a healthy way;  you do yourself no favors by trying to gain weight by eating cookies. Also, discuss with your doctor whether you are actually at a healthy weight or not.  If your doctor says your weight is good, it is unwise to continue trying to gain.

Question 8

what food should i eat to reduce my weight?

Accepted Answer

No specific food: The best way to reduce your weight is to decrease your total caloric intake and also increase your activity level.  You should have a balance of calories from protein, fat and carbohydrate.  There are no specific foods that will reduce your weight.

Question 9

number one food that makes you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

There isn't just one: There isn't a magical food that makes you lose weight.  However, if i was pressed to pick one, i would say water since most of us are dehydrated anyway.  Drinking water (rather than sugary fruit juices and soft drinks -- including "diet" ones!)  will help our metabolism work more effectively.  Also, replacing grains and starches with non-starchy, multicolored vegetables would be useful too.
