Healthy Dieting TipsNegative Calorie Foods: These are foods that use more energy to process then they have. Therefore the more you eat of these foods, the more stored up energy you will burn. If you stay away from empty and high calorie foods ( cakes, pies, 16oz. steaks, etc.) and eat only negative calorie foods, you will loose weight without counting calories or starving.

Information About FatsAn accumulation of 3,500 extra calories is stored by your body as 1 pound of fat. Fat is the body's way of saving energy for a rainy day. One thing about exercise is that it raises your metabolic rate not only while you're huffing and puffing on the treadmill. Your metabolism takes a while to return to its normal pace; it continues to function at a higher level, your body burning an increased number of calories, for about two hours after you've stopped exercising. Carbohydrates and proteins are healthier sources of calories than fats. Although our bodies do need a certain amount of fat to function properly -- an adequate supply of fat allows your body to absorb the vitamins you ingest -- an excess of fat can have serious health consequences. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends that a maximum of 30 percent of our daily calories come from fat. So, if you eat 2,000 calories a day, that's a maximum of 600 calories from fat, or 67 grams of fat, per day. However, many doctors and nutritionists now set the maximum number of fat calories at 25 percent of our daily caloric intake. That's 56 grams of fat per day for a 2,000 calorie diet.
