Easy strategy for weight loss

I was surprised by this article in the New York Times magazine. The article was on calorie restriction diets. And what caught my attention was the fact that people tend to eat the same weight of food every day. The problem is that some days we eat more calorie dense foods.

So if you want to lose weight, focus on foods that bring a lot of nutrition but low calories. An example is an apple, low calories for the weight. Conversely, alcohol has a lot of calories with little nutrition.

Thus make the bulk of your food, high nutrition and low calories. Dr. Phil calls it high yield foods. Looks like fruits and vegetables win the comparison again. Non of the low fat crap allowed.
