Ok, admit it, you want to lose weight but you are afraid that you will need to change the way you eat will be impossible. You are probably thinking you need to live off carrot sticks and celery as the best weight loss foods.
What if I told you that you could still eat the foods that still make you feel like a human? Foods that make you feel full and not getting hunger pains half an hour after eating. It is true, in fact you may not even stray that far from what you are currently eating. But the following will show you the best weight loss foods.
The way to do this is by eating smarter. Avoid all those empty calories. Learn to eat 6 times during the day. Three meals and three snacks. You are probably asking why are you telling me to eat more in frequency, I am trying to lose weight. Well, for starters, starving does not work. The only thing you accomplish is getting rid of water weight and teaching your body to function on lower caloric intakes. In turn this lowers your metabolism. Your metabolism is the key to burning fat. By eating with this much frequency you are making your body work at digesting food and also burning calories at the same time.
So what are some of these best weight loss foods? Well for breakfast you can have whole grain bread, fruit, eggs, yogurt, oatmeal or whole grain cereals. A mid morning snack can be a smoothie, some nuts piece of fruit or peanut butter on celery. An afternoon snack can consist of some more nuts and some fruit, yogurt and berries. For dinner try any type of lean meat or fish. The lean meat can be red or white. Obviously use common sense, don’t make a meal that includes a rich sauce or anything fried. Add to dinner with some green vegetables and whole grain rice. For an evening snack, have your favorite ice cream, as long as it is low fat.
Those are just a few examples you would be amazed at how much real food you can eat while dieting. I have found a website that you can find much more in depth information regarding ways to eat healthier and lose weight. I suggest you visit it now.

Homeopathic HCG Drops is effective in helping dieters lose weight, and especially effective with those wishing to shed twenty pounds or more. The steady weight loss assisted with the HCG Diet hormone can top a pound per day or more. A question is whether the drops or injections are more effective and which method of administration a potential dieter might choose before beginning a program. There are pros and cons to both methods, and considerations should be made according to lifestyle and activities before the diet process is begun.
The HCG powder comes with sterile diluents from the manufacturer and the two must be mixed before injection or oral use. The mixture must be kept refrigerated.
HCG Drops are taken three to six times daily and absorbed sublingually (under the tongue,) and must fit within a dieter’s routine. Dosage levels vary depending on weight loss goals, and depending on the number of pounds to be shed a dose could require an ounce of the HCG hormone for three weeks at a time. By both methods, whether the administration is by drops or injection, the HCG hormone must be kept refrigerated at all times or unless stated by your supplier. This is possibly a setback for those who work outside the home or have long commutes to and from work, travel or if the weekly routine isn’t regular. Drops also require diligence to be sure a dose isn’t missed, so can be a burden for those with busy schedules.
HCG Drops are just as effective… While HCG drops have been found to be as effective as injections, the injections have shown a better result in lowering appetite and hunger pains while increasing energy. Drops are more cost effective compared with injections because the injections may require a doctor’s prescription whereas the drops are available without prescription.
As an alternative to HCG drops, dieters may opt for the injection method as a daily dose, which can be taken once per day convenient to lifestyle and work patterns. Some dieters, while in support of the homeopathic aspect of the treatment, are opposed to needle injections, which are not natural processes.
The needle injections have side effects which can include discomfort, whether pressure or pinching pain or a stinging sensation. There can also be a slight bruising to the area. With the injection method, the refrigerated HCG powder/diluents mix is drawn to a syringe and injected. The injections are usually given in the thigh in dosages of 0.3 cc up to 1cc.
With either choice, the pounds will be shed at the rate of one to two per day, as long as the accompanying diet is well managed. The only major differences between drops and injection dosage methods is with the dosage convenience, cost, and availability. While HCG drops can cost $85 per ounce, injections can cost $400, $800 or more depending on the clinic.

Hunger exists to keep us alive, but it also can morph into a destructive force that could lead us to deforming obesity and even an early grave.
One question people who are interested in fasting and weight loss always ask me is whether or not appetite suppressants work. This has led me to research much on hunger and weight loss. The question is: How can I master hunger and not gain back all the weight I lose through fasting and dieting?
Some of my findings are outlined in this article and I hope it will give you hope and motivation to follow your goals and never give up.
Not a Panacea
Appetite suppressants can be “somewhat” helpful when fasting – but from experience I can tell you that they are NOT a panacea or fix all to the natural hunger pains when fasting or dieting. The only one that I would feel comfortable recommending is Hoodia because it is made from a plant. I would suggest that you use Hoodia, but NOT any other product that has chemicals of any kind or even caffeine – or other stimulant.
Powdered Hoodia has been the one that has helped me the most by “calming” the hunger. You can go online and Google “powdered Hoodia” and you will find an ample selection to choose from. What I do is put a tablespoon of the Hoodia in a cup — usually in the afternoon — and mix it with some water and a squeeze of lemon.
It tastes quite bad, but this approach is the one that I have found produces the best appetite suppression. I also use decaffeinated green tea and seltzer water with lemon to calm hunger. This combination has carried me through 7,14,21,30 and even 40 and 60-day water and juice fasts. It works like a charm. Something about the hot liquid hitting my belly, the Hoodia, and then the effervescence of the seltzer.
Hunger Flagellation?
Do not look at the hunger pains you go through when fasting and dieting as a punishment, or even as a torture to be endured (even though it certainly can feel that way). Instead, welcome the hunger pains as the clear and indivisible sign that your body is working overtime to overcome the very toxicity that you want to get rid of.
The toxicity – or the worst of it at least – hides in between your fat cells. So the only way for the body to deep clean itself is to dig into these cells. The process actually releases these toxins directly into your bloodstream, which in turn can cause pretty violent hunger pains, as well as headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, diarrhea and fever.
These symptoms – as well as the hunger pains – usually go away completely between the fifth and tenth day of water fasting. From then on, many persons feel as if they could go on fasting indefinitely. Confront your hunger face-to-face and realize that this very hunger is the one that will lead you back to your old ways if you do not learn to master it.
A Demanding Child
Many persons feel that it is bad to feel hunger and that any sign of it has to be addressed immediately. Learn to ignore it. Learn to live with it. Now please, I am not saying here that you should starve yourself in an anorexic way. What I am saying is that the belly can be like a demanding child who insists on getting what he wants, when he wants it or else it throws a tantrum.
Discipline it and you find freedom. Try to constantly suppress it and sooner or later it will blindside you and lead you back to where you started. The fasting and dieting process, especially when you are new, is one that can take months and even years. In my case, I fasted on and off for an entire year.
I would fast for 21 days, eat for about two weeks, then fast for another month, eat for 14 days, fast another month etc. IT is about forming life-long “discipline muscles” that will allow you to assume control of your stomach, instead of the other way around. Many persons fast once, break the fast, and within a short period gain all the weight back, and then some.
Toe-to-Toe
The only way to keep that from happening is by facing the hunger directly and becoming “comfortable” with it, to the point where appetite suppressant, or no appetite suppressant, you have the ability to choose what you are going to put in my body.
The real “breakthrough” is mastering hunger in the long-term and being able to say NO – regardless of how hard and loud my stomach yelled for that particular food that I know harms me. This is true freedom, and it is my sincere desire that you find it and experience health and wellness in every area of your life!

If you choose to take injections instead of oral HCG, you should be aware that there are some common side effects. If you experience any of these symptoms, you may want to consider switching from HCG shots to the homeopathic drops, which are gentler and have no reported negative side effects.
1. Headaches
Search any HCG diet forum and you will see right away–several dieters who are taking injections have reported headaches. For some, the intensity of the headaches makes it difficult to function. For others, the headaches are simply an annoyance. However, this does seem to be the most common of all injectable hormone side effects.
2. Irritability
Irritability is another common side effect, and it may be due to the low-calorie diet that is a part of the program. For people who are taking injections and experiencing a lot of irritability, switching to the drops may help this symptom abate. One recent study showed that dieters who made the switch felt fewer hunger pains between meals and higher energy levels than before. Making the switch may help you burn excess fat more efficiently, making you feel fuller and keeping you from feeling irritable.
3. Restlessness
Another common side effect is restlessness, which can keep you from enjoying your down time and even from sleeping at night. Since exercise is forbidden on the diet program and exercise can help curb the symptoms of restlessness, you will need to find another way to treat this issue. You may want to switch to the oral drops, which contain a mixture of supplements, specially crafted to even out your energy level.
4. Fatigue
The flip side of restlessness is fatigue. If you aren’t sleeping well or feel constantly agitated due to the injections, then you will start to feel fatigue as well. Some studies have shown that the homeopathic drops make a good alternative in this case as well, as they promote a kind of natural energy high that comes from burning excess fat.
You should seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of the following after an injection:
An allergic reaction that includes difficulty breathing, hives, swelling of the lips or tongue, or difficulty swallowing; Confusion or severe dizziness; Pain, tingling, or warmth in your extremities; Severe headache
Many people who are afraid of adverse side effects opt for the drops instead of injections. The drops have virtually no reported side effects. Since the dosage of the hormone is small but potent in these drops, any unexpected negative side effects would be much more easily managed, as well.
