Eat more of colourful and less of white foods for weight loss

What are the white foods?

White foods include refined flour, white rice, potatoes, sugar, salt. When consumed, these foods are converted to sugar or energy and if you do not use up this energy, it will get converted and stored as body fat.

What are the colourful foods?

These are basically foods that are coloured, the fruits and vegetables. These foods are packed with fibre as well as nutrients that are required by our bodies. In addition they are high in antioxidants.

Examples of coloured foods include peppers, broccoli, peas, apples, watermelon, grapes etc. These foods should be consumed daily and there is a wide variety to choose from. You could make them into salads, have them as snacks, as a main meal, or as a part of a meal. The options are endless!

So aim to eat more foods of the coloured variety instead of their high carbohydrate counterparts, and reap the weight loss benefits.
