Free Foods are the foods that you can consume without having to count them within your recommended calorie plan. They are nutrient dense foods, high in vitamins, minerals, and often, dietary fiber. Free foods help you stay on track in shedding excess weight while providing you with low calorie satisfaction. The free foods listed in this article contain fewer than 20 calories per portion!
When you are on a weight loss path, you're adjusting your caloric intake and eating less. If you still feel hungry after eating your recommended calories, turn to guilt-free foods instead of to potato chips or cookies! Free foods will settle your hunger cravings and help you stay away from over-eating high calorie foods. By making this type of change, you will be able to lose weight more easily.
The largest source of free foods is vegetables, so try to fill up your plate with an abundant amount. The more color you add to your plate, the more bulk you will be eating, and the fuller you will be. Include high fiber foods, protein sources, and a good amount of water in your daily diet to help keep you satisfied.
