Obesity is a serious health threat that is faced by all countries. Modern busy life makes people follow unhealthy eating habits, thereby resulting in a major section of people being overweight. There are a variety of diet plans that people follow to try to beat the excess fat and burn the pounds.

While many of the weight loss options that hit the market do help people lose weight, the results are not permanent. If you wish to lose weight, you need to consider a long term solution, rather than just temporary ones that get rid of fat, only to replace it with extra fat later. A healthy diet is the best way in which to get fit and stay healthy. A healthy diet does not mean that you need to starve yourself silly or torture yourself by abstaining from foods that you love. All that it implies is that you need to make a few changes in your diet and eating habits that will help your body look and feel good.

Food seems to be the boon of some and the bane of others. Many find it hard to distinguish between foods that are beneficial and foods that would just ruin their health as well as their figure. If you are looking out for foods that are low in calories, but which are still healthy and which will help you feel full, feel free to peruse the list below.
