"Diet" is a negative word. Diet labelled food confuses many people. What constitute a diet food? is it food of low calorie, low fat, low sodium, low sugar, gluten-free, or which one is the right one?" Said Jane Korsberg, Senior Instructor in the Case Western Reserve University's Department of Nutrition in Cleveland.

In addition, many dieters that specifically target food are seldom satisfied. For example: Snack contains 100 calories; was created to help people control their calories, but the reality often does not work in that way which in the end led them hungry throughout the day.

You do not need elaborate plan to become slim. All you need to do is choosing the food smartly, maintaining the portions, and remains active.

"Learning to eat right would be more useful. The emphasis should be on choosing healthy foods every day and make change for a better healthy lifestyle" said Jane.

If you need some recommendations, you can start with five delicious food choices while maintaining slim body, as reviewed by Livestrong.



1. Apple
Apple is a good source of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber not only contributes to a healthy digestive system and reduced cholesterol, but also beneficial for smart eating choice because it does not contain a lot of calories.

A study in the journal Appetite found that when women add three apples or pears in their daily diet, their weight will get reduced. There are also people who added three cakes of wheat in their diet, even though both contain the same amount of fiber.

According to Alan Aragon, a nutritionist and author of Girth Control: The Science of Fat Loss & Muscle Gain, crispy foods such as apples, can be a trick for a person to feel fuller. The act of chewing can send satiety signals to the body.


2. Almonds
If you're looking for a delicious lunch, a handful of almonds is a good choice. A study in 2009 which was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that women who ate Almonds at least twice a week are more successful in maintaining weight loss than those who do not eat it.

One ounce of almonds contains only 167 calories, 6 g protein, 3 g fiber, the composition of nutrients that will make you feel satiety. Furthermore, like apples, almonds is classified as crunchy foods so that it can make you full faster.


3. Salmon
Seafood can be a part of a healthy diet. There is some evidence that the fat in salmon can increase satiety. For example, The study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that when dieters eat salmon several times a week, they lost approximately 2 kg more than those who do not include seafood in their diet menu.

Fat content of salmon is relatively low, every 3 ounces contains only 175 calories. Salmon is also a good source of protein.


4. Egg
There is no doubt that the protein, such as fiber, has an impressive power to full your stomach. One of them is egg. A research shows that eating eggs for breakfast can help you fight hunger throughout the day.

A study reported in 2008 in the International Journal of Obesity found that when dieters eat two eggs on breakfast for five days a week, they lost 65 percent more weight than dieters who eat breakfast a lot of bread. Eggs help you feel fuller throughout the day.


5. Tomato
Non-starch vegetables such as carrots, celery, and spinach, contain lots of fiber. Like other foods which high in fiber, these foods can help make you feel full. Tomatoes are a good choice as well as a next delicious food to eat.


Actually I didn't know such foods would be a good diet choice because I never do diet. Why? because I don't need to.

Have you ever do diet? Is there another food you want to add in for the sixth one? If yes, just tell me in the comments :)
