I need a long list of foods I can eat to lose weight I heard to eat high fiber and protein and low carb foods. I love all kinds of foods. Seafood all meats fruits veggies cheese so I wanna know what I can eat that will help. I'm going to be doing cardio exercises about everyday. I'll eat about 6 small meals a day to get my metabolism going and drink alot of water. If you have any other helpful hints that will be appreciated!


Answer
Here is a list of healthy foods :)
- Go for natural, organic food
- For fiber, go for plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, high fiber cereals that aren't high in sugar - for example bran cereals; oatmeal, brown/wild rice, sweet potato, whole grain breads, whole grain and brown rice pastas, nuts, nut butter, etc.
- For protein: beans, eggs, cheese in moderation, cottage cheese, tofu, tempeh, tuna, salmon, etc.

Protein & fiber, along with veggies & fruit will help keep you full =)

~ Greek yogurt or yogurt (nonfat) - Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt
~ Eggs, cheese, cottage cheese (2% is fine), goat cheese, skim milk or goat milk, etc.
~ Vegetables
~ Fruit & Berries
~ Beans (chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, mixed beans, etc.) - full of fiber and protein :)
~ Veggie burgers (Amy's makes great veggie burgers)
~ Whole grain breads: multigrain bread, ezekiel bread, rye bread, whole wheat pitas, whole grain tortillas or bagels, etc.
~ Whole grain pasta or brown rice pasta, brown/wild rice, quinoa, buckwheat, etc.
~ Sweet potatoes or potatoes
~ Hummus
~ Oatmeal - great source of fiber, you can add toppings like: almond butter or peanut butter, nuts, fresh berries/fruit, raisins, dried fruit like cherries/cranberries/blueberries, cinnamon, skim milk or non-dairy milk, nonfat greek yogurt, jam, honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, etc.
~ Healthy cereals (Kashi, Nature's Path Organic, etc..high in fiber like raisin bran)
~ Nuts, seeds, almond butter, peanut butter
~ Non-dairy milks like soy, almond or rice milk
~ Ground flax seed to add into a smoothie, top yogurt, etc.
~ Olive oil, good healthy fat, great for stir frys with lots of veggies.
~ Salmon & Tuna
~ Tofu & Tempeh - are great in sandwiches, wraps, on salads, etc.
~ Whole grain crackers
~ Whole grain waffles or pancakes
~ Dark chocolate, in small amounts, great for a treat


A few other helpful tips :)

- Drink green tea. Water + lemon (cleansing, great for your digestive system, skin)

- Avoid: soda, diet soda or any diet drinks, artificial colors or sweeteners, white flour, too much sugar, overly processed foods

- For exercise, you can also try things like simple walking or yoga/pilates - very healthy for you :)

What are some really healthy meal recipes/ideas?







I like to exercise and cook, but I need some more ideas what I can make through my day: breakfast, lunch or dinner recipe ideas.


Answer
wraps are easy and healthy. you can make them for any meal and put whatever you want inside.
there is also grilled chicken with any kind of salad
tuna salad (sandwich or crackers) only use a tiny bit of mayo and squeeze the juice from one lime in it.
any lean meat on the grill is healthy (if it's too cold, broil it), serve with steamed veggies.
chili or vegetable soup (not high up on the healthy list, but not too bad)
fresh fruit, boiled eggs and cheese are good
you could also keep some fresh veggies already cut and cleaned in the fridge to have as snacks with ranch or any other dip
