In addition, this diet emphasizes eating foods with a known antioxidants, complex carbohydrates, beans, milk, yogurt, and nonfat cheese.

In the Mediterranean diet, the menus are arranged so that the resulting food composition and the guaranteed high quality body will always fit. Examples include a weekly menu consists of fish, white meats, eggs, and ice cream. Then the monthly menu can be added red meat. This is because red meat contains so much fat that can lead to obesity, so it should be consumed occasionally.

Finally, taking as many as six glasses of water per day. better if coupled with a wine because it contains many antioxidants and are rich in beta-carotene are good for the body. Basically a slim body can easily be obtained also when attention to several factors.

13 HEALTHY FOODS That Can Make You Fat

Some so­-called smart eats are just junk food in disguise. Cut back on them and your thighs will thank you.

Chips, gooey desserts, anything that starts with fried — you know to fight off these calorie cows with a stick. What's tricky is that some foods with famously healthy reputations are actually worse for your weight than the snacks in vending machines and drive-throughs. We fill you in on what they are and why they keep you from hitting that golden number on the scale.

1.Sushi Rolls
sharkysgulfgrill.com
The veggies and seaweed wrap are low-cal, but a lot of the most popular rolls are slathered with cream cheese or mayo (e.g., in that spicy sauce that comes on many options), and the seafood inside may be tempura-battered. Thanks to those ingredients, a standard roll can clock in at 500 to 600 calories. Also, soy sauce is loaded with sodium. It won't make you gain weight, but it'll cause you to retain water, so your jeans will feel (and look) tighter.



2.Dried Fruit
Cup for cup, dried fruit has five to eight times more calories than the fresh kind because it has been dehydrated and is much denser. Fresh grapes, for example, have 60 calories per cup, while raisins have 460. And many brands add sugar, amping up the calorie count even more.

3.Granola
Since it's loaded with good-for-you nuts and oats, it's too bad that they add oil to make it crisp and tons of sugar for more yumminess. One bowl racks up around 500 calories. Other cereals with the same nutrients but less oil and sugar pack half that.

4.Bran Muffins
Whether it's plain bran or mixed with apples or bananas, the fiber fills you up, sure, but considering all the sugar and butter it delivers, a bran muffin is basically just a round slice of cake. One weighs in at about 20 grams of fat, 420 calories, and 34 grams of sugar.

5.Half-and-Half
sodahead.com
You put so little into your coffee, it seems like a harmless way to get calcium - especially when compared to full-fat cream. But a few spoonfuls per cup of joe two or three times a day quickly turns into 200 or more calories plus the same amount of fat as a big pat of butter!

6.Wraps
No matter what you put in it, the average wrap is a major offender. If you roll it out, it can be 1 foot across — seriously — and pack up to 300 calories. Since the surface area is way bigger than two slices of bread, you coat it with a lot more mayo or dressing than you would a sub or sandwich.

7.Bottled Teas
Most store-bought brands are souped up with sugar or honey, which are crazy-caloric sweeteners. Oh, and one bottle can contain two or more servings, bringing the calorie count to almost 200 — similar to a bottle of soda.

8.Rice Cakes
These light snacks are fat-free and low in calories, but they're also completely lacking in fiber or protein — ingredients that experts say actually curb hunger. That means downing two or three won't do anything but add more calories to your daily total and leave you craving something with substance. And limit the flavored kinds — they don't satisfy you more and they tend to have lots of sugar or sodium.

9.Veggie Burgers
Sure, skipping beef in lieu of a meat-free patty may save you a little fat and cholesterol. But depending on the brand and what you put on it, you could easily end up housing more than 1,000 calories. The cheese that often binds the veggies together and the huge size of the burgers are anything but diet-friendly. Add a bun and some ketchup and you might as well have had the quarter-pounder.

10.Juice
Reaching your recommended daily fruit-serving goal by getting it in liquid form might be the reason you can't fit into last year's LBD. A 16-ounce bottle of OJ or apple juice has 55 grams of carbohydrates, the equivalent of five slices of bread. And most of that is sugar — a whopping 12 spoonfuls of it.

11.Diet Microwave Meals
The lean ready-to-eat dishes tend to be high in sodium — since the manufacturers can't rely on calorie-rich fat to make the stuff taste good, they resort to salt. As a result, scarfing them will make you retain water, especially in your arms and legs, leaving you puffy.

12.Salads
There's nothing better for you or your waist than naked veggies, but the shredded cheese, candied nuts, croutons, and globs of dressing often make salads as caloric as an oversize dish of pasta. And nutritionists are quick to point out that innocent-sounding vinaigrettes, though not as fattening as ranches, can be almost as high-cal.

13.Tofu
thedailygreen.com
Order this health food at a restaurant and what you'll most likely get is a plateful of sodium, calories, saturated fat, and even sugar. Tofu itself isn't the issue — the problem is that the white stuff is so bland, it's often served doused in decadent sauces then deep-fried to give it flavor and texture, making it a diet disaster.

The one fruit you should eat this winter

Scientists from the Scripps Clinic (San Diego) studied 100 men and women over a 12-week period. The volunteers were divided into three groups. One ate half a grapefruit with each meal, a second drank 8 ounces of grapefruit juice three times a day and a third acted as a control group. All groups maintained their regular eating habits over the 12 weeks. Despite the fact that none of the subjects actually dieted, the average weight loss in both the grapefruit and grapefruit juice groups was about 4 pounds, with several subjects losing more than 10 pounds.

While scientists aren't exactly sure how grapefruit stimulates weight loss, they do believe it may be due to chemical properties of the fruit that reduce insulin. Grapefruit also contains the flavonol naringin (which prolongs the thermogenic action of caffeine), as well as these nutrients:

      THE THREE apples a day plan: your foundation for permanent fatloss

      4.bp.blogspot.com
      Sometimes it boggles my mind how many diet books writers and nutrition experts can come up with, each with their own special “gimmick.” Now there is a new diet book that suggests you eat three apples a day, one before each meal, for maximum weight loss and increased health.

      So I read Tammi Flynn’s The Three-Apples-A-Day Plan with great skepticism, only to be pleasantly surprised to find that there is in this book a simple and easy-to-follow plan for weight loss and health that takes the basics we’ve all been hearing about - cutting refined sugars and eating more protein and doing weight training with cardio - and adds the fun aspect of apples. Flynn, a registered dietician and Group Training instructor at Gold’s Gym, suggests that by following her very South Beach-sounding diet and exercise plan, you can achieve greater results by simply eating an apple, any kind of apple, before each main meal. The theory is that the fiber fills you up, and the sweetness satisfies your cravings, and as many of the author’s clients’ claim, it works wonders.
