1. Consume Nutritionally-Dense Foods:

Consuming healthful snacks and meals are important for increased energy levels and to reach and maintain a healthy body weight. Creating a meal plan consisting of 25% protein, 25% whole grains, and 50% vegetables and fruits can be helpful in this regard. The recommended daily fiber intake should be 22 to 34 grams daily.

Reducing the intake of saturated and trans fats from the diet can also minimize the risk of coronary heart disease. Rather than saturated fats, you can eat polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA).

To maintain successful weight loss and boost energy levels, you can consume the following nutrient-dense foods:

• Nuts

• Legumes

• Whole grains like oatmeal and brown rice

• Vegetables and fresh fruits

• Fatty fish, including salmon, sardine, and tuna.

Besides consuming healthy foods, here are some of the foods you should avoid eating:

• Processed foods.

• Gluten found in items such as bread, bagels and baked goods.

• Foods with processed sugar, butter, and unhealthy oils.

• Processed meats, and fatty red meats.

Consuming the right foods will not only help you lose weight but it will help increase your energy. Want more ways to increase your energy and lose weight? Add Craving Defender to your daily routine!
