Egg Whites and Veggies For Dinner? Lose Weight by Cutting Calories With Filling and Satisfying Meals

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Did you know that our bodies are genetically prone to store excess fat?
Science suggests that this tendency is rooted back to our ancestors who faced a real threat of starvation. Human bodies developed survival mechanisms to store and protect fat to so we would have adequate fuel during a calorie shortage. Obviously, our ancestors did not have the convenience of supermarkets and restaurants that we have today. Our bodies have been programmed to see weight loss as a sign of imminent starvation.

So how are we supposed to burn fat and lose the weight?
It ought to be simple, but when you cut too many calories to lose weight your body senses starvation and will adjust the metabolism to fight this threat. Science and research are proving a far more effective method of losing weight is to "fool" your body by refuel it frequently with small healthy portioned meals that are rich in fiber, nutrients, and protein to build lean muscle mass.

How can we make effective dietary adjustments to "fool" our body?
Replace foods high in sugar and carbohydrates with foods rich in fiber, protein and nutrients. This will enable you to feel fuller on less. You can add extra Vitamin C by adding bell peppers, bok choy, cabbage (red or green), cauliflower or broccoli to your diet. By adding any of these veggies to your meal, you boost your immune system and help out your cardiovascular system as well as adrenal functions!

The key is to find ways to fool your body into being well fueled and satisfied but still reducing the calories you take in. One trick that has been adopted by athletes, body builders, and successful dieters is to substitute whole eggs for egg whites. This is one healthy way of cutting calories and still providing a healthy amount of lean protein to provide the energy your body needs to function properly. Here are some of our most satisfying recipes made lighter using egg whites:
