Lose Weight by Eating More

Is it possible to lose weight by eating more? Sure, if what you're eating more of are high-fiber foods. How is this possible? Simply put, fiber is a natural calorie absorption blocker.

A study performed by the USDA found that women who doubled their fiber intake from 12 to 24 grams per day absorbed 90 fewer calories. This equals losing 10 lbs. over the course of a year. Fiber keeps you full, thereby decreasing the total amount of calories consumed per day.

Fiber is extremely important to health and weight loss. So much so, the U.S. Food & Nutrition Board has set the first recommended daily intakes: men up to age 50 need 38 grams of fiber per day and women need 25 grams per day. To reach these recommendations, a minimum of 6 servings of fruits and veggies and 3 servings of whole grains are needed daily.

So where can you find fiber? Here is a list of foods that will help you reach the daily fiber intake recommendations:

Onions (1/3 cup = 1 gram)
Broccoli (1/2 cup = 2 grams)
Oranges (1 orange = 3 grams)
Flaxseed (1 tbsp. = 1 gram) ~ sprinkle on cereal or in yogurt
Asian pears (1 pear = 4 grams)
Almond butter (2 tbsp. = 2 grams)
Hot chocolate (1 cup = 3 grams)
Rye bread (1 slice = 2 grams)
Beans (1/2 cup = 6 grams)
Oregano (1 tsp. = 1 gram)
Basil (1 tsp. = 1 gram)
Light popcorn (1 bag = 8 grams)
Chickpeas (1/2 cup = 6 grams)
Frozen chopped spinach (1/2 cup = 2 grams)
Whole wheat pasta (1 cup = 5 grams)

Other foods high in fiber include: oat bran, oatmeal, flour or whole wheat tortillas, mushrooms, sesame-seed buns, low-sodium V8, sweet potatoes, wild rice, cauliflower, carrots, nuts, and berries.

it's what not very bright people do.

i don't recomend it, but yeah. buuuut, u will lose muscle first, then water, than fat. sooo, u could take the short cut and burn the fat first by exersizing. Your body will go into self preservation mode, you will not lose weight.

You need to eat small healthy meals and exercise

will you die if you bleed to death? does this answer your question? it freaks out your metabolism which makes it easier to gain more weight when you finally break your fast. it's better to eat healthily and excercise so you look toned, not skin-and bone.

honestly, yes you will lose weight, your body will go into starvation mode and you will lose strength and pretty your body will eat itself to stay alive, you will ache all over and crave even a nearby fly for food, you will wish death comes soon and often for you.

eat a damn burger and love it

yes and you will eventually die. but if you in fact live, you will gain back the lost weight and about 15% or more BACK! Not in the way you want, if you deprive yourself of food, your body will begin to "eat" itself, it's definetly not something you want to do

You will only make yourself sick. And anorexia.

If you starve yourself your body just starts to conserve even more.not eating only makes you GAIN weight..the best advice is this, work off more calories than you burn and you will loose weight..

If you eat 1500 calories a day (sensable 3 meals) and work out for 30-40 mins per day you can expect to loose 1-2 pounds per week.

PS. most models you see have help with their pictures..its called an air brush and no matter how much you diet, you will probably never look like that..and you will make yourself miserable in the process..

no,the best way to lose weight is to eat right and exercize.if you stop eating,you'll slow down your matabolism,which helps you gain weight.
