Weight Loss the FoodTrients Way

Weight Loss the FoodTrients Way

Losing weight is never easy, but for many of us, it is a step toward improved health and longevity. The first thing we have to conquer is the fear of feeling hungry. Hunger tells us that we are eating fewer calories than we normally do. This is a good sign on your road to weight loss: The more comfortable we are with feeling hungry, the likelier we are to succeed.

There are many tricks we can use to reduce calories while keeping our stomachs feeling full.

I like to soak dried quinoa or millet in soy milk overnight and then cook it on the stovetop in the morning for a filling, high-protein, low-fat breakfast. Monica Reinagel—the board-certified, licensed nutritionist and a professionally-trained chef who sits on myFoodTrients Board of Advisors — recommends eating foods rich in fiber to fill up the stomach and slow digestion so you feel satiated for longer.

For lunch, I’ll serve my Quinoa Tabbouleh on Pita recipe (which is in my cookbook), a nutrient-dense starter dish or snack—and it’s full of health-sustaining nutritional compounds including fiber, lycopene, sulfur compounds, choline, and chlorophyll, that help your skin stay elastic, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidants.

Other grains with similar high-fiber, nutrition-dense properties include brown rice, freekeh, and wild rice. My Seafood with Wild Rice recipe makes a lovely low-fat dinner that’s high in the FoodTrients Omega-3s, fiber, and selenium.
