If you are trying to lose weight, then you are not the only one. Around the word, millions of other people are attempting to do so, too.

The types of food you habitually eat can greatly affect your success, or otherwise, in getting rid of excess weight.

For the purpose of attempting to become slimmer, the foods we eat can be divided into two different categories, the good and the bad.

The good foods that can, when eaten regularly, help you to lose weight quickly are referred to as high-satisfaction foods. They are so called because you become quickly satisfied or ‘full’, and stay so for a long time afterwards, when you eat them.

High-satisfaction foods contain a lot of protein and fibre, but very little fat. They assist you to shed excess weight because you need to eat only little amounts of it at a time. They quench your appetite for food for a long time. Because of this, you are able to get slimmer much quicker.

Probably the best, and commonest, example of high-satisfaction foods is the potato. Others are fish, oatmeal, wholemeal pasta, steak, baked beans and whole-grain bread. A bit lower down the high-satisfaction list are common foods like bran cereal, white rice, brown rice, eggs and cheese.

There are fruits that fall into the high-satisfaction category. Such fruits include apples, oranges and grapes.

To help you shed weight faster, you should try to eat more of high-satisfaction foods. But, you should try to avoid, or at least cut down on, low-satisfaction foods.

Low-satisfaction foods include croissant, cakes, candy bars, doughnuts, ice cream and potato chips or crisps. Unlike high-satisfaction foods, you need to eat huge amounts of these before you feel ‘full’. Besides, they contain lots of fat but less fibre and protein than their high-satisfaction counterparts. Eat such foods only occasionally, if at all, if you are trying to lose weight.

In addition to eating high-satisfaction foods, and avoiding low-satisfaction foods, look for highly-recommended slimming pills, tablets, capsules and/or teas to assist you get slim even faster.
