When trying to lose weight, you may want to consider avoiding or limiting foods that are high in sugar, calories, and unhealthy fats, as well as those that lack nutrients.

A diet rich in fruit, vegetables, healthy fats, lean proteins and some whole grains will serve you best in terms of sustainable weight loss and health. Combined with a consistent exercise routine, you'll experience sustained weight loss and weight maintenance once you reach your goal weight.

Researchers discovered that women tend to store more fat after a meal than men but they burn through that fat more quickly.

If losing weight by burning fat is your goal, be mindful of what you eat for breakfast. Men and women don’t achieve the same result when they eat similar foods. A healthy and nutritious diet fuels your body and mind.
