Unfortunately, many people will not set realistic weight loss goals and will be looking for that quick fix…a fast way to lose weight.

Therefore, many people will look towards diet pills to help them lose weight fast.

So, are diet pills safe? Will diet pills actually help poeple lose weight AND maintain that weight?

Here’s the truth about diet pills and weight loss…

In some cases, diet pills can help boost metabolism temporarily. However, this can be risky and should not be done without consulting a doctor.

Unfortunately, many people become addicted to diet pills and this can lead to disaster.

Furthermore, most of these pills are simply water-loss pills…These do not work!

Yes, you will lose weight temporarily, but you will put it right back on as soon as you replenish your dehydrated body.

Yesterday’s weight loss tip inlcuded the top five weight loss foods recommended by 1-800-Weight-Loss.com (whole grain breads, fish, spinach, olive oil, & pink grapefruit).

Here’s why…

1. Whole grain breads

If you’ve been paying attention to latest weight loss fads, you know that carbs are the current diet buster. Many weight loss programs claim that if you just stay away from all carbs you’ll lose weight no matter what else you eat. That’s not only wrong, it’s downright dangerous for both your health and your diet.

Instead of cutting out carbs, you should be aiming to reduce carbs to a healthy portion of your diet - which most doctors agree is about 50-60% of your caloric intake. That means that if you’re on a 1500 calorie a day diet, you should be striving to get about 900 calories a day from grains, fruits and vegetables. Whole grain breads pack a lot of nutritional value. Replace your two slices of white toast with 1/2 a cup of oatmeal or whole grain cereal, and for about the same number of calories, you’ll be getting three times the vitamins, amino acids and roughage that your body needs to function. You’ll feel full far longer, too - because you’ve given your body something to work on that will take a while to digest.

2. Fish

Eat at least three servings of fish per week. Fish is low in fat, is high in protein, and provides something that most other proteins don’t - omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 is one of the main building blocks in your cells. If your body doesn’t get enough Omega 3 fatty acids, it will try to build cells from other fatty acids. The problem is that those cells are not as flexible, and not quite the right shape. Among the cells that aren’t quite right are the ones in your brain that help control impulses and tell your body what it needs. By providing enough Omega 3 fatty acids for your body to use, you’ll be healing the damage done through years of poor diet. And since fish, as a general rule, has fewer calories than most meats, you’ll be saving calories as well. Just remember that you’re replacing portions of meat with fish, not adding them to what you already eat.

3. Spinach

Spinach is one of the lowest cost sources of nutrition you can give your body with 13 calories and 2 grams of carbohydrate in 2 cups of chopped raw spinach. Every serving gives you folic acid, manganese, beta-carotene, protein, lutein (a potent anti-oxidant), magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin K. You can eat it raw in salads, steamed as a side dish, or sauted in a tiny bit of oil for a different taste, and still get all the nutritional benefits.

4. Olive Oil

Have you every heard of the Mediterranean diet? Well, as it turns out, olive oil is a mono-unsaturated fat that is the primary source of fat in the so-called Mediterranean diet. Your body does need a little fat to process vitamins and use them properly. It contains antioxidants, flavonoids, beta-carotene and vitamin E, among other things. One tablespoon has a whopping 125 calories, but drizzled on a 13 calorie spinach salad with a little lemon juice and some garlic, you still have a meal with less than 150 calories - and a whole lot of healthy fuel for your body.

5. Pink Grapefruit

With only 40 calories in half a grapefruit, you’re getting 45 mg of vitamin C, lycopene, pectin, beta-carotene and potassium. It’s versatile and tasty. Eat it as is for breakfast, or toss it into a salad with spinach for an extra punch to perk up the nutritional quality of your diet.

It’s easy to see why 1-800-Weight-Loss.com recommeds the above foods. However, don’t forget…the best weight loss plan always combines a healthy diet with daily exercise.
