Losing weight doesn't have to be boring when you focus on bright, colourful foods. What does this mean? Simply by making sure your plate reflects a range of colors, you'll naturally produce more balanced as well as healthful menus. Not everyone has the time or even the patience to depend calories, but evaluating the colours on your dish is something anyone can perform - and it only takes an instant!
Exactly why is colour important? Many fatty and calorie foods, such as milk products and startchy carbs, tend to be beige or dark brown. When there are too many of these drab colours on your plate, putting on weight is almost certain.
Like these beige meals often are high in calories and can make you feel hungry later. A mug of beige or brown beans can be over 200 calories....however a cup of red or even green vegetables is under a hundred! Add clean greens, deep purple-reds as well as bright yellow-orange to a dinner, and water the actual nutrient content go up, while calories go down! Plus, you'll get more enjoyment from consuming when there's a variety of colours and tastes on your plate.
Although these ideas may sound whimsical, they're seated in scientific fact. Dr David Heber, renowned nutritional expert from University of California, La established the part of colour in his book, "What Color is the Diet?" Therefore, next time you visit the refrigerator, think colorfully. And remember to mix, not complement!
