Eating for energy while you’re slimming

Many overweight people cite lack of energy as one of their main problems. Lack of energy is a key issue for many overweight people. If you are eating the wrong types of food, then your body is not in a position to provide you with any energy, and the more overweight you become, the less likely you are to feel the inclination to move around and exercise.

The only way to improve your energy levels is to embark on a slimming programme. This will help you to lose weight and rejuvenate your metabolism so that it produces more energy when you eat. You can do this with an eating plan made up of natural foods, without resorting to energy drinks or foods.

If you have a motivation for being more energetic, such as playing with your children or grandchildren, achieving a sporting ambition, or wanting to join a club or society, then you’re already halfway there. Wanting to lose weight and gain energy, and making a commitment to do it is an important part of your slimming plan, and will make it much easier for you to see it through.

Becoming more energetic comes naturally with properly-managed slimming, but there are some foods that can give you an energy boots without being high in sugars or saturated fats.

- Green vegetables. Leafy green vegetables are a great source of minerals and vitamins and can be eaten raw in salads, or lightly steamed. They can provide you with additional energy as well as keeping your body healthy.

- Seeds. Some types of seeds and nuts are good sources of energy and, because they’re small and portable, can be taken with you in the car, in your bag or kept in the office to give you an energy boost during the day. They’re much more effective than a chocolate bar.

- Grains. All non-refined grains are good for slow energy release, which will keep you going throughout the day. Eating brown rice with vegetables for lunch, for example, could help your energy levels throughout the afternoon.
