Weight Loss - Can You Gain Weight Eating Health Foods?

By Beverleigh H Piepers

Do you often feel as though you are eating as healthily as you possibly can, but yet you are still gaining weight? Are you fed up and frustrated with dieting because nothing seems to help you reach the weight you desire? 
If so, it is understandable you would be frustrated. Eating healthily takes work, and when you are fighting food cravings, you want to know you are getting something out of it.

Here is what to know about this issue...

1. Healthy Foods Still Contain Calories. First, note healthy foods still do contain calories, and that is why it is possible to gain weight eating them. If you eat too many healthy foods, you still can have the issue of taking in more energy than you burn off over the course of your day and that is what causes you to gain weight.

To lose weight, you need to do one thing: burn off more calories than you consume. It has nothing to do with eating healthily or not. It is easier to lose weight generally speaking if you eat healthily because those foods tend to be more satisfying, but this is not always the case.

2. Calorie Dense Healthy Foods Should Not Be Eliminated. Next, note calorie dense foods should not be eliminated from your diet plan. Sure, you should restrict the high-calorie dense ones like nuts, oils, avocados, and so forth. Eat smaller servings of these items but still include them because they provide you with a wealth of proper nutrition.

3. Using Volumetrics Is Key. Finally, also note volumetrics is key if you want to lose weight while eating healthily without calorie counting. Volumetrics has been proposed as being an innovative way of appetite control

This is mainly eating foods that contain few calories for how much of the food you can eat. For instance, take popcorn. You can load up and eat five cups of popped plain popcorn for about 100 calories. Eat the same amount of potato chips, however, and you would be easily 750+ calories. And remember foods, for example fruit or soup, hold a lot of water and have a low density. That is, has few calories per pound.

If you focus on this while trying to lose weight, you will find your journey is more comfortable and satisfying.

So keep these points in mind. You definitely should be eating healthy, but there is more to losing weight than just this alone.

Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
