The foods you eat contribute to your overall mood and appetite, the Cleveland Clinic advises.
If you feel good and feel satisfied that you've eaten enough, you may not feel the desire to go back for more, clinic experts say.
Carbohydrates -- an essential part of your diet -- should be whole grain and contain lots of fiber. Here are some of the clinic's choices:
- Whole-grain cereals and breads.
- Potatoes with their skins.
- Brown rice, bulgur and quinoa.
- Fresh vegetables and fruits.
- Whole-grain pasta.
Health Tip: Don't Let Lost Pounds Return
Losing weight is a major accomplishment, but keeping it off can be just as challenging.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests these healthy habits to help keep weight off for good:
- Stick to a healthy, yet realistic eating plan. Be consistent with your food choices and calorie intake.
- Have a healthy daily breakfast.
- Exercise for 60 minutes to 90 minutes nearly every day.
- Keep a journal of the foods you eat and your exercise regimen to spot any patterns you should change.
- Weigh yourself regularly and keep the readings in a log.
- Enlist friends and family to offer ongoing support of your healthy lifestyle.
