subject: Make Nice Body Tips [print this page] Popular diets fool some people into thinking weight loss success can be achieved by eliminating certain types of foods. Your diet should still include fruits, vegetables, meat, grains and some fats. While this is true of cutting sweets and snacks, many diets exclude foods that are essential. The body needs protein to build muscle, while fruit, vegetables and grains supply us with carbohydrates that fuel our bodies.
In order to achieve successful weight loss, you may need to cut some calories and make food substitutions. Choose lean protein sources like poultry and fish over meats with higher fat content. Switch to complex carbohydrate sources, such as fruits and vegetables and foods made from whole grains. Your diet should include plenty of fruits and vegetables because they supply us with water, fiber, vitamins and nutrients.
