Weight-Loss Keys

Weight-Loss Keys - How Foods Fight Cancer

To summarize, here are the keys to healthy weight loss:

■ Build your diet from the New Four Food Groups: vegetables, fruits,
beans, and whole grains.
■ Avoid animal products and added vegetable oils.
■ Go high fiber, and enjoy plenty of vegetables, fruits, and bean dishes
in as natural and unprocessed a state as possible. Choose high-fiber
grains, such as brown rice instead of white rice and whole-grain bread
instead of white bread.
■ Add any common multiple vitamin as a source of vitamin B12.
■ There are not many fatty plant foods, but it is good to minimize the ones
there are—nuts, seeds, avocados, coconut, olives, and some soy products.
■ If your doctor gives you the green light for regular physical activity,
be sure to add exercise to your routine. Start slowly. Brisk walking
for a half hour daily or an hour three times a week is a good way to
begin. Then gradually increase your regimen.
