Weight loss and fiber? How do they work together?
When it comes to weight loss and sustaining a healthy weight, it is important to remember that it is not just dependant on exercise or nutrition! Nutrition and exercise MUST work together in order to burn fat and maintain a healthy weight!
When you eat you want to try to eat foods that are low on the glycemic index! The lower on the index these foods are the longer the release of glucose takes. This means you stay fuller, longer!
Some foods that are low on the GI are, kidney beans, apple, spaghetti, orange, green peas, banana! Fiber is important as it not only helps lower blood cholesterol levels and controls blood sugar but it also has a high satiety index.
A high fiber diet benefits those trying to maintain a healthy weight because you will feel less hungry for a longer period of time!
What burns calories? You do! Body=Car Muscles=Engine Food=Fuel
Cars will burn more gas as the engines get bigger! Our bodies work the same way. The more muscles we have on our frame the more calories we use. Like a car we do burn calories when we are idling around and depending on the size of the engine you will burn more calories!
A healthy, long term, successful weight plan will include some resistance training!
