You can hardly go to the grocery store, or even read a magazine, without seeing ads for diet foods. These are the low fat, low carb, etc. pre-packaged foods that are supposed to help us stick to our diets. But do these types of foods really help us lose weight? The problem iwith many of these so-called diet foods is that they contain a lot of energy packed in a dense package, and they usually contain little water. As for how these processed foods are made, who knows what other chemicals we are putting into our bodies to replace other foods.

High Water Content Foods

During the 80’s we saw a popular diet, Fit for Life. this was based on the idea of natural hygeine. The authors claimed that it would help not to combine proteins and starches in one meal. Many people lost weight on this diet, but is this why? The other part of the diet advised dieters to eat 70% of high water content foods. I believe that this advice, more than the food combining thing, was the ticket.

Nowadays, we see diets based upon the idea of volumetrics. What is this? Well, to me it looks like the 1980s advice of making sure that 70% of a diet is high water content food.

Hot Chocolate is Diet Food!

Here’s one example I just love. The authors advice dieters to calm a chocolate craving by drinking chocolate milk made with skim milk instead of eating a candy bar. This is great advice. The 8 ounce glass of chocolate gives us more to eat, is more filling, has other nutrients, and also contains less calories than the candy bar! I think a better choice would be drink a mug of hot chocolate! Because it is hot, it takes longer to drink, and it has the benefits of drinking low fat milk too!

So here’s one diet food that works - hot chocolate!

Raisins vs. Grapes

They also use the example of grapes vs. raisins. These are basically the same thing, right? The raisins are just dried grapes, but because the water has been removed, you get to eat about 3 times the volume of grapes to equal the same calories.  You can endulge in lots of bowls of grapes, apples, oranges, etc. without runing your diet. Enjoy nature’s candy. Fruit is a great diet fruit, but be wary of dried fruit.

Stick Veggies in your Pasta!

You really don’t need a pre-packaged diet meal either. If you make a pasta dish, use a heavy hand with chopped up zuchinni, celery, onions, etc. You can double the volume of the dish that you could eat without adding calories. You will feel more satisfied, take in some essential vitamins and minerals, and also be less likely to overeat later.

We Natural Eat Food By Weight and Volume!

Studies have proven that people tend to eat about the same weight of food every day! It is just the way we are programmed to eat. If tha weight of food has a high water content, we will take in less calories and stay hydraed. If that weight of food has a low water content, we risk overeating and weight gain.

So what are good diet foods tha work?

You can eat almost anything you want if you eat it the right way!  

Your breakfast of ceral and milk should include some fresh fruit. Eat it on the side or slice it up and put it in your bowl. Use fresh fruit, and not dried fruit. You may feel as if you are forcing yourself to eat too much at a meal, but you will do yoruself a favor later because you are unlikely to feel hungry or suffer food cravings.

For lunch, make sure you include plenty of lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles on your burger. Eat a salad on the side too. Sure, you’ve eaten a burger, but you’ve also taken in alot of veggies , are likely to feel full, and will be less tempted to snack in an hour.

Homemade, not the store bought calorie traps, smoothies are great snacks. Simple crush ice, fruit, and some skim milk or low fat yogurt in a blender. In this case, the crushed ice makes this drink one you have to savor slowly. It should satisfy a sweet craving too.

How Do You Sneak More High Water Content Food Into Your Diet?

I did not come up with this idea, but got it from another CNI Core4 weight loser (winner)! She had been losing her weight at a steady pace, but really wanted to jump start her efforts in order to reach a goal for a certain big event. She said that this 9 day “ignite” program helped her trip off 11 pounds.

Now I am not a medical professional, and you should check with your doctor about any new diets, but this looks pretty sane to me.

Have a CNI Lean Shake for breakfast. You may want to make it with skim milk, or make a smoothie (fruit and yogurt) instead of just using water.

Eat a normal, satisfying lunch but try to leave out empty carbs like white bread. Shoot for around 500 calories, and include fiber and carbs. Use your Cheat, of course! Things like a turkey sandwhich on high fiber bread, a chef’s salad, or chicken with veggies and a wheat roll would probably be good alternatives.

For dinner, stick to protein and veggies, and avoid many carbs. Again, use your cheat.

If you want to snack, have a Lean Shake, 1/2 cup of low calorie ice cream, yogurt, a hard boiled egg, or that old standby - veggies and low fat Ranch dressing.

Take 2 Flush Capsules before bed.

Again, this is only to quick start your weight loss, and isn’t part of the normal CNI Core4 program. You need to do what works for you!

Experts agree that certain strategies can help lots of us control their appetites. If you can still endulge, but maybe time your eating a bit different, you may actually be able to consumer less while feeling satisfied with the food you eat! In fact, sometimes you should actually add food to your daily diet, and not take food away in order to be happier while you watch what you eat.

Eat a Salad Before Lunch and Dinner - Make yourself (or order) a nice salad. Add just about any fresh fruit or veggies you want, but go easy on any high fat dressings. A salad has tons of benefits including fiber, natural cleansing, and a satisfying crunch! I have found that if I force myself to have a large salad before dinner at a pizza place, I will manage to restrict myself to a couple of slices of pizza rather than a whole pie!

Stay hyrdrated - Sometimes you are really thirsty, and not hungry. A glass of ice tea, cup of coffee, or sugar free soda can work. Of course, a tall glass of cold water is better. Sqeeze some lemon or lime in your water for added taste and benefits.

Endulge Early - You’ve heard it before, but a good breakfast really helps. Go ahead an add that egg because the protein should help you stay satisfied longer. An egg, scrambled with some green peppers and onions, and maybe with some salsa, is a treat. And add a bit of cheese if you like as a flavoring.

In addition to breakfast, we seem able to control our appetities early in the day, rather than later. Why not have that birthday cake at lunch instead of after dinner? You will probably find that your appetite is diminished the whole rest of the day if you do.

Soup is a great snack. Keep some cans of soup in the pantry, and have a bowl (or the whole can) in the evening when you want to snack. It is easy to prepare, very satisfying, and most soups are quite good for you!

Any more tips on keeping the edge off of our appetities without starving ourselves? Register and comment!

When we say that a food has negative calories, it does not mean the food has 0 calories, and of course, it does not mean that a food really has less than 0 calories. It means that this food takes more energy to digest than it contains, and so the net affect on your body equals no calories. Many foods like this are very high in fiber and other nutrients, and they should be included in your diet every day. They can help you lose weight, stabilize blood sugar, and cleanse your body of toxins.

We have talked about the effects of Konnyaku - the Japanese plant that comes in CNI Cheat or in Noodles. This food really can work like a diet miracle food because it is high in fiber, increases a feeling of fullness, and requires some digestive work from your body! You can get more info on Miracle Noodles here, or look at how to block calories with CNI Cheat.

Other Foods That Cut Calories

Of course, these are not the only negative calorie foods you may find. Many popular vegetables like Asparagus, fennel, gourd, aubergine, broccoli, leek, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, marrow, cauliflower, peppers, celery, chicory, radish, spinach, cress, tomato, cucumber, and turnip can really help you fill up, use up calories in digestion, and of course, get healthy! You just have to be careful how you prepare these foods though. If you cook them with fats or other foods, it may offset the calorie elimination properties.

OK, this is a more realistic post than week 1 and week 2 of CNI Core4 weight loss. I have had a longer time to stay on the 4 suppblement products and evaluate their effectiveness. We all know that the first week or 2 of a diet will give us more dramatic weight loss results, and the real test comes after more time!

I am down about 13 pounds in 2 months. That includes a holiday week of total backsliding. I still feel great with no adverse effects. I know that some people have had more dramatic weight loss, but since I did not put in any excercise or special diet foods, I am satisfied that 13 pounds is making good progress. I started at about 40 pounds over weight, so my long term goal does not look quite as scary. Now I need to trim about 27 pounds.

I have also dropped a size in my pants, so that’s very satisfying. I am setting myself another goal of losing about 5 - 10 pounds in another month. So I’ll keep you posted about how that goes! I will be happy to lose 10 pounds, because that should put my long term goal at less than 20 pounds which should be a walk in the park!

Do you want to lose 20 pounds? Or do you have a larger goal, like losing 40, 50, or more pounds. Do you have a timeframe in mind? Let’s say you’d like to lose 40 pounds in 6 months. That can seem like a large goal, and a very long term schedule of dieting and working out.

Lose 10 Pounds at a Time

I have spoken to many people who managed to trim down. Most of them found that the best diet strategy that really worked was to set more modest mini-goals. We decided that setting goals of losing 5 to 10 pounds be a certain date, with an option to set a new goal at that time, worked out the best for us!

So it is really tough for anybody to determine to lose 100 pounds in 18 months! But is is not so tough to work on losing 10 pounds in 2 months! We like to do this, and then give ourselves a small diet break in between - where we try to eat to maintain our weight, but not always to lose weight.

Plan your diet around Holidays

Let’s say you celebrate some major holidays like most of us do. Why not set your mini-goals around those holidays. If you consider Christmas/Chanukah, Valentine’s Day/Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter/Passover, Memorial Day Week-end, 4th of July, Labor Day Week-end, Thanksgiving, etc. Notice they are fairly evenly spaced. So enjoy yourself on the 4th of July, but determine to get back on the wagon and trim off another 10 pounds by Labor Day week-end!

A 10 pound at a time diet, like this, can be a safe and sane way to lose weight. Meanwhile, you can be happy to have met your mini-goals, and not frustrated that your long term goal is far in the future!

I have been asked to review FatLoss4Idiots - the popular online diet. They make a good case for their weight loss system vs. some of the other popular diets. For instance, do you ever notice that most of the thin people you know never really seem to diet, while the heavier people are always dieting?

Visit Here:
FatLoss4Idiots With Discount Promo Code

Fat Loss 4 Idiots is not really for idiots, but it is one of the easiest diets to follow. They start you off with an online application that allows you to specify over a dozen of your own favorite foods. Then the diet is customized around the food you like to eat which should help people. Nobody likes to feel deprived of their favorite foods, and that’s why a lot of people cannot stick to many popular diets.

They advertise that people will lose over 9 pounds every 11 days, but individual results do vary. What I find is that people who need to lose more pounds will lose weight faster. The closer a person is to a normal weight, the harder it will be to take off those last few pounds.

How Does This Diet Work?

The idea of the program is to use the body’s natural hormone responses to different types of foods to help with weight loss. Our diets tend to work against our natural ability to lose weight. For instance, some foods, like processed starchy food will make our body produce a lot of insulin, while less starchy food will keep blood sugar levels stable. By learning to “tell” our bodies to burn food for energy, and not store it for fat, we can get fit and lean.

Besides being simple, it is also pretty affordable. You only pay one time, and yup - my link has a  FatLoss4Idiots promo code for a substantial discount!

After 4 days, I lost about 4 pounds, and that was up to almost 7 pounds my the end of the first week. Now, I am ending my second week, and am happy to say that I have lost 10 pounds! And I lost that weight feeling so full and satisfied that I could not believe the scale was still going down!

Which CNI COre4 Product Is Best?

I think all of the products really work well together, and it would be hard for me to pick one. At first, I really liked the Lean protein / amino acid supplement. I still like it, and have to have it every morning, but now I’m hooked on Cheat! Cheat is the sprinkle you put on your food. It is made from Japanese Konnyaku plants, and it has no odor or taste at all. What it does is add bulk and fiber which help you feel satieted, and also actually blocks your intestines from absorbing about 1/4 of the calories in the food you eat.

I Love To Cheat - CNI Cheat That Is!

I think I really needed the Lean smoothies at first because my body was missing some vital amino acids, but now I am getting them regularly with a cool vanilla breakfast smoothie every day. Now, my attention has turned to Cheat, ’cause who wouldn’t want to cheat?

I got my first packaage of the Core4 Weight Loss Supplements, and I wanted to report my experience. I really love them. And no, it has actually only been 5 days - since my package came on Tuesday afternoon. But yes, I have lost 4 pounds without having to only eat weird foods or feeling sluggish or anything.

Lean - I love this protein and amino acid shake mix. It has a great vanilla flavor, and unlike other similar mixes, it actually tastes great! I wish that Lean came in a larger size though, because I would like to replace a meal with it every day, and they only give you 14 servings.

Cheat - This is fun. You sprinkle a few shakes on your food. You feel full so one serving is enough. The high fiber and special properties actually make you want to stop eating while you still have food on your plate!

Accelerate - This is an energizer, but it did not give me a shaky feeling. I actually felt more youthful, and full of youthful energy - if you know what I mean!

Flush - I was worred that this would be a harsh laxative, but it was very gentle and natural.

CNI and ME!

I went to a festival yesterday and was worried about being tempted by all of the festival food. But I had a Lean shake before I left, and also took an Accelerate pill. I was very satisfied to stop at having one burrito (yum) with a beer. I did walk around a lot, and then later we stopped for dinner. I did not feel like finishing the food on my plate, which is just not like me! It was great - and I got up this morning to see I lost another pound!

Well let me start off by writing that some protein shakes can help people lose weight, stay lean, or even build muscle mass. But not all protein shakes are the same. Some contain protein, but also high amounts of calories, and may not be the best for actually losing weight. Some contain protein in a form that cannot be used by the body, and will not really do much good.

But a good protein shake - one that contains high qualify protein and amino acids, tastes decent enough to consume, and does not contain a huge dose of belly busting calories - can help people lose weight.

Reduce Cravings - One reason that people experience food cravings is because they do not consume enough protein. In a perfect world, we would all be able to eat right and get enough protein and other nutrients in our diet. In our world, we skip breakfast, take a donut off of the snack cart, and endulge in a fat laden coffee drink on the way home.

A protein powder mix, like CNI Lean, can be added to a glass of water - yes, it tastes ok - or mixed in another drink for a slight vanilla flavor - and take the edge off of our appetites. 

 Join CNI for Free - learn how you can order Lean wholesale, and also benefit others while making money if you want to. You do not have to sell the product to order it wholesale, but many users became such big fans of the product that they chose to tell all of their friends about it!
