4. Begin with Broth
Research shows you'll eat about 20% fewer calories if you start a meal with soup instead of diving right into the main course. Just skip high-calorie creamy-based varieties.

5. Have a V-8
Vegetable juice may help quell your appetite and control calorie consumption. When University of California, Davis, researchers had a group of men and women follow a low-calorie, heart-healthy diet, those who drank at least 8 ounces of low-sodium vegetable juice daily lost 4 times more weight than those who skipped the healthy beverage.



6. Make Your Own Snack Packs
Dieters actually ate more when given pre-packaged 100-calorie snack packs than when they received larger packages, reports a study published in the Journal of Consumer Research. These products may be perceived as low-cal “diet” food, but in reality, they tend to be sugary and non-filling so you may not stop at just one, explains Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD, director of sports nutrition at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. A better (and cheaper) option: buy a big bag and portion out your own sensible servings.

Recent research confirms that the most important component for weight loss, especially after age 40, is controlling calories. Aim for 1,600 daily for optimal weight loss. To help, we rounded up the best research-backed tips for cutting calories, curbing your appetite, and keeping your weight loss efforts on the fast track.

1. Trim Down Portions at Home
Restaurant servings aren't the only ones growing. According to a study of 18 recipes published in The Joy of Cooking since it was first released in 1936, home-cooked meals have 63% more calories per serving today. One of the reasons is a 33% increase in serving sizes since 1996.

The solution: Halve recipes. Or assume you'll have leftovers and store half the food as soon as it's cooked.


2. Skip Over-Sweetened Drinks
People who eliminated just one sugar-sweetened beverage from their diets a day lost more weight over 6 months than those who reduced the same number of calories from solid food, found a Johns Hopkins University study. Researchers speculate that liquid calories are less satiating, leaving you hungrier.

3. Eat Protein at Every Meal
In a European study of 205 slimmed-down men and women, those who ate about 25% of their daily calories from protein (about 100 g for a 1,600-calorie diet) had an easier time maintaining their weight loss. Protein may help because it keeps you feeling full longer and uses more calories during digestion than carbohydrates and fat do, concluded the researchers.

Good choices: 3 ounces of chicken (26 g of protein), 3 ounces of tuna (22 g), 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese (14 g), 1/2 cup of soybeans (11 g), 1 cup of quinoa (8 g).

Eat the Right Fats
Cut back on saturated fats (found in meats and full-fat dairy products) and avoid trans fats (found in some commercially baked goods and fried foods, and listed on labels as partially-hydrogenated). Stick with unsaturated such as monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are mainly found in olive and canola oils, nuts, avocados and olives. Polyunsaturated fats can be found in corn, soybean, safflower or sunflower oils.

Go for Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Research has shown that omega-3s lower triglycerides (fat in the blood), help maintain the "good" cholesterol, and decrease the risk of sudden heart attacks, blood clots and stroke. These compounds are found in fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines) and plant foods (flax seeds, walnuts).



Get Moving
Extra pounds and inactivity can put stress on the heart and create other health problems. Exercise is key to weight management. Try to aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day. Not only will it help shed some pounds, but it will also raise "good" cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Have Some Wine
Alcohol in wine, beer and distilled spirits has been shown to protect the heart in some studies by increasing HDL, or "good" cholesterol. Additionally, heart-healthy polyphenols (antioxidants) occur in both red and white wine. If you don't drink, it's best not to start now, but if you do, have moderate amounts. That means one drink per day if you are a woman or two drinks per day if you are a man.

Take control of your health by adopting food and lifestyle changes. Eating sensibly with some modifications, as well as exercising, can keep your heart strong and healthy. Follow some of our suggestions below and your heart will love you for it.

Eat Fruits & Vegetables
Not only are fruits and vegetables high in vitamins, minerals and fiber, they're also very low in calories and high in antioxidants, which can help prevent chronic disease. Fill up on an abundance of these delicious and beneficial foods every day.

Focus on Fiber
Fiber refers to the indigestible carbohydrates we eat and is found in fruits, vegetables and unrefined grains. It keeps the body's digestive system running smoothly and helps the body feel full, a key to weight management. Most importantly, soluble fiber, which is found in oats, nuts, seeds, apples, pears and berries, helps lower cholesterol.



Go for Low-Fat Dairy
To reduce the amount of saturated fat and calories in your diet, replace high-fat dairy products (such as whole milk, cheese, sour cream and cream cheese) with skim or 1% milk, low-fat yogurt, Neufchatel and low-fat cheeses.

Watch Your Sodium Intake
Sodium can raise blood pressure. The largest portion of sodium in Americans' diets comes from processed foods. By cooking fresh food at home, you can cut back on sodium dramatically. Also try removing the salt shaker from the table, using herbs and spices for flavor and cooking with half as much salt as in the past. If you use canned soups, broths and sauces, select low-sodium versions.

5) Cheese
There are three reasons that cheese is a great diet food:

1. It's packed with protein and fat, which keep you full.

2. Cheese is versatile and convenient. You can eat it right out of a single-serving package—making it a great snack—or use as a dip or to add more flavor to almost any dish.

6) Butter
If this delicious dairy product were the star of a sitcom on the Health network, the show would probably be called "Everybody Hates Butter." The reason, of course, is that it contains a significant amount of saturated fat. But again, it's animal fat, like the kind in beef, bacon, and chicken skin. This is a natural fat that men and women have eaten for thousands of years.

What's more, fat, like that in butter, is necessary in order to help your body absorb many of the healthy nutrients found in vegetables. For instance, without fat, your body can't absorb carotenoids—powerful disease-fighting antioxidants found in colorful vegetables—or fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. So go ahead, eat butter, and do it without guilt.



7) Coconut

Ounce for ounce, coconut contains even more saturated fat than butter does. As a result, health experts have warned that it will clog your arteries. But even though coconut is packed with saturated fat, it too appears to have a beneficial effect on heart-disease risk factors.

One reason: More than 50 percent of its saturated-fat content is lauric acid. A recent analysis of 60 studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that even though lauric acid raises LDL (bad) cholesterol, it boosts HDL (good) cholesterol even more. Overall, this means it decreases your risk of cardiovascular disease.

The rest of the saturated fat in a coconut is believed to have little or no effect on cholesterol levels.

We think coconut is highly underrated—if you like the taste, try it as snack, eating the unsweetened, shredded kind straight from the bag. (You'll probably have to search the health food section of your grocery store to find it.)

8) Sour Cream

For years, you've been told to avoid sour cream or to eat the light version. That's because 90 percent of its calories are derived from fat, at least half of which is saturated.

Sure, the percentage of fat is high, but the total amount isn't. Consider that a serving of sour cream is 2 tablespoons. That provides just 52 calories—half the amount that's in a single tablespoon of mayonnaise—and less saturated fat than you'd get from drinking a 12-ounce glass of 2 percent reduced-fat milk.

More importantly, sour cream is a close relative of butter, which means you're eating natural animal fat, not dangerous trans fat. And besides, full-fat tastes far better than the light or fat-free products, which also have added carbohydrates.

For years you've heard that eating saturated fat is like pouring superglue into your arteries. But the fact is, this forbidden fat actually increases your HDL (good) cholesterol, which helps remove plaque from your artery walls, decreasing your risk of heart disease. So quit depriving yourself and start eating these eight foods—without guilt.

1) Beef
Most people consider turkey, chicken, and fish healthy, yet think they should avoid red meat—or only choose very lean cuts—since they've always been told that it's high in saturated fat.

But there are two problems in that thinking. The first problem is that almost half of the fat in beef is a monounsaturated fat called oleic acid—the same heart-healthy fat that's found in olive oil. Second, most of the saturated fat in beef actually decreases your heart-disease risk—either by lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol, or by reducing your ratio of total cholesterol to HDL (good) cholesterol.

And besides being one of the most available sources of high-quality protein, beef also provides many important nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins. So the idea that beef is bad for you couldn't be further from the truth.

2) Poultry

We probably don't have to sell you on the virtues of chicken and turkey. After all, nearly all experts agree that these foods are healthy sources of high-quality protein. But unlike most nutritionists, we also say go ahead and eat both the dark meat and the skin. Because both are composed of animal fat, their fat composition is very similar to that of beef. Meaning neither raises your risk for heart disease.

Remember, eating more fat—not less—is the key in helping you automatically reduce your calorie intake, without feeling deprived.



3) Pork

It's true: Pork really is the other white meat. Ounce for ounce, pork tenderloin has less fat than a chicken breast. And food scientists are finding ways to make it leaner and leaner every year.

Of course, the downside to this is that fat is what makes pork taste so good—which explains why ham and bacon are far more popular than leaner cuts. (As Emeril Lagasse says, "Pork fat rules.") But remember, there's no reason to fear fat—especially when you follow the tenets of the TNT Diet.

Not everyone has a taste for bacon, pancetta, and ham. But you can make your choice based simply on what you love without worrying about the fat in these foods. When you follow the TNT Diet, your health and body composition results will be every bit as impressive with these foods as without—so why deny your taste buds?

One caveat: Bacon and other cured meats often contain sodium and other preservatives, such as nitrates, that may raise blood pressure or increase your risk for cancer. To limit your risk, choose fresh meats or packaged products that contain no preservatives—typically labeled "all-natural"—whenever possible.

4) Eggs

Whole eggs contain more essential vitamins and minerals per calorie than virtually any other food. They're also one of the best sources of choline, a substance your body requires to break down fat for energy. In addition, eggs provide lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that help prevent macular degeneration and cataracts.

They may even be the perfect diet food: Saint Louis University scientists found that people who had eggs as part of their breakfast ate fewer calories the rest of the day than those who ate bagels instead. Even though both breakfasts contained the same number of calories, the egg eaters consumed 264 fewer calories for the entire day.

However, you've probably been told at one time or another to avoid eggs because they're high in cholesterol and fat. This is the same thinking that led to low-fat diets—and a mindset that has probably made us a lot fatter over the past decade. It's simply a leftover recommendation from the low-fat legacy that was never forgotten.

In a recent review of dozens of scientific studies, Wake Forest University researchers found no connection between egg consumption and heart disease.

3) Broccoli
To beat a common cold, turn to this stalwart of the cruciferous family (which also includes kale, cabbage and cauliflower). Rich in vitamin C and fibre, broccoli also contains phytonutrients, which have anti-carcinogenic properties and can boost immunity, cleanse the liver and protect our eyes. Eat it raw or lightly steamed for maximum benefit.

Eat it

4) Apples
As we all know, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Teacher's favourite fruit is packed full of antioxidants including vitamin C and quercetin, which apparently bolster the body's immune defences. Pectin, a soluble fibre found in apples, is also said to help relieve constipation and lowers levels of bad cholesterol.

Eat it

5) Eggs

For something so small, an egg crams an awful lot in. They are a brilliant source of protein, and provide good levels of iron, zinc, B vitamins and selenium. They also contain choline, which is cited as vital for brain function and memory. Best of all, you can whip them up in a jiffy.

Eat it
Perfect boiled egg

6) Almonds

With a high magnesium and monounsaturated fat content, almonds are said to be good for our hearts, while a dose of vitamin E helps to protect our skin from damage. Almonds are a great source of protein, fibre, B vitamins, calcium, zinc and iron. Add almonds to Greek yoghurt for a healthy breakfast, spread almond butter on toast, or for a more decadent treat, dip almonds in melted dark chocolate, another superfood.

Eat it
Pear and almond cake




7) Green tea
Green tea is very rich in a group of potent antioxidants called flavonoids, which are said to have immune enhancing and cancer protective properties. "It is thought that one of the reasons why cancer rates are lower in Japan than the Western world is due to the high consumption of green tea (around three cups daily)," says Kim.

Eat it
Green tea ice cream

8) Sardines

Sardines are oily fish, which means they are a great source of omega 3 fats, vital for good heart, brain, skin and hormone health. Whether fresh or tinned, these little fish also provide lots of protein, vitamin B12, selenium and vitamin D. Tinned sardines on toast makes a fast and delicious budget lunch.

Eat it

9) Turmeric

"Turmeric has been used for centuries in China and India as an anti-inflammatory agent," says Kim, "and can be helpful in cases of joint and muscle pain." Turmeric is also said to be a powerful antioxidant and a source of iron, manganese and vitamin B6, all of which adds up to the wonderful conclusion: eating curry is good for you. Hurrah.

Eat it
Potato, tomato and cashew curry

10) Red wine

Stock up your wine rack. According to Kim, the odd tipple of red wine won't do you any harm and in fact, might benefit you. Red wine has protective properties due to a high content of polyphenols, antioxidants which can apparently protect against cancer, heart disease and (brilliantly) premature ageing. Wines made from Tannat or Malbec grapes usually contain the highest polyphenol levels.

Eat it

Eating yourself healthy doesn't have to mean forking out for exotic edibles. Charlie Cottrell goes in search of the superfoods in your kitchen cupboards

Health trends get people's pulses racing; either with delight at the latest virtuous vittals or in horror as another food fad hits the shelves and our pockets.

Most unprocessed, natural foods can be classed as superfoods, fruits, vegetables and proteins, such as pulses and fish, are rich in nutrients and beneficial to our health.

There has been a huge amount of hype in recent years about 'superfoods', and they have come and gone in trends. While it is fantastic that these healthy foods are being brought to our attention, it's important to not get carried away with the bandwagon. Focus on a super diet rather than individual superfoods.

Here are top 10 familiar superfoods:

1) Beetroot

Beetroot contains beta-carotene and betacyanin, powerful antioxidants which are said to help improve liver detoxification. It is also high in folic acid, essential for a healthy pregnancy. Impressively versatile, beetroot is a great cleansing post-Christmas food.

Eat it

Hugh's chocolate and beetroot brownies

2) Garlic

Natural antiviral and antibiotic properties make garlic great for warding off winter coughs and sniffles. Chomping garlic has been shown to reduce levels of bad cholesterol and it contains good levels of vitamin B6, making it a superfood for the heart. If your friends can take it, eat it raw.

Barley

When volunteers in a USDA study added barley to the standard American Heart Association diet, LDL "bad" cholesterol levels fell more than twice as far.

• Barley makes a great substitute for rice, adds depth to soups and is terrific combined with dried fruits, nuts and a little oil and vinegar for a hearty salad.

Beans And Lentils
From a recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, LDL "bad" cholesterol levels fell almost twice as far in those volunteers on a low-fat diet who added beans and lentils (along with more whole grains and vegetables) to the menu.

• Experiment with beans in soups, salads, and dips. Tuck them into burritos, lasagnas and casseroles.

Blueberries



Blueberries contain a powerful antioxidant called pterostilbene that may help lower LDL cholesterol.

• Toss a cup of frozen blueberries together with a half-cup of orange juice and vanilla-flavored yogurt into the blender for a healthy breakfast drink. Sprinkle fresh blueberries on cereals and eat them by the handfuls for snacks.

Oats
When women in a University of Toronto study added oat bran to an already heart-healthy diet, HDL-cholesterol levels — the beneficial kind — climbed more than 11 percent.

• Consider a daily bowl of oat bran hot cereal or old-fashioned oatmeal for breakfast. Oat bran muffins can also pack a tasty dose into your day.

The best meal for anyone worried about their cholesterol is a meal low in saturated fat and abundant in fruits and vegetables. And although there are no magic bullets beyond that healthy prescription, certain foods have been shown to give cholesterol levels an extra nudge in the right direction.
Weave some of these whole foods, all pinpointed by research as cholesterol-friendly, into your daily diet, and be sure to try some of our heart-healthy recipes below.

Alcohol
Drinking a glass of wine with dinner — any alcoholic beverage, in fact — has been shown to raise good-cholesterol levels and lower the risk of a heart attack. (Excessive drinking, however, raises heart-disease danger.)



Almonds
Substances in almond skins help prevent LDL "bad" cholesterol from being oxidized, a process that can otherwise damage the lining of blood vessels and increase cardiovascular risk.

• Sprinkle almonds on cereals and salads, nibble on a handful for an afternoon snack.

Avocados
The monounsaturated fats in avocados have been found to lower "bad" LDLs and raise "good" HDLs, especially in people with mildly elevated cholesterol.

• Slice avocadoes into sandwiches and salads or mash with garlic, lemon juice and salsa for a terrific guacamole.

4) Blueberries

 Host to more antioxidants than any other North American fruit, blueberries help prevent cancer, diabetes, and age-related memory changes (hence the nickname "brain berry"). Studies show that blueberries, which are rich in fiber and vitamins A and C, also boost cardiovascular health. Aim for 1 cup fresh blueberries a day, or 1/2 cup frozen or dried.

SUBSTITUTES: Acai berries, purple grapes, prunes, raisins, strawberries.

FIT IT IN: Blueberries maintain most of their power in dried, frozen, or jam form.

PINCH HITTER: Acai, an Amazonian berry, has even more antioxidants than the blueberry. Try acai juice from Sambazon or add 2 Tbsp. of acai pulp to cereal, yogurt, or a smoothie.



3) Black Beans
All beans are good for your heart, but none can boost your brain power like black beans. That's because they're full of anthocyanins, antioxidant compounds that have been shown to improve brain function. A daily 1/2-cup serving provides 8 grams of protein and 7.5 grams of fiber. It's also low in calories and free of saturated fat.

SUBSTITUTES: Peas, lentils, and pinto, kidney, fava, and lima beans.

FIT IT IN: Wrap black beans in a breakfast burrito; use both black beans and kidney beans in your chili; puree 1 cup black beans with 1/4 cup olive oil and roasted garlic for a healthy dip; add favas, limas, or peas to pasta dishes.

HOME RUN: Black Bean and Tomato Salsa > Dice 4 tomatoes, 1 onion, 3 cloves garlic, 2 jalapeños, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 1 mango. Mix in a can of black beans and garnish with 1/2 cup chopped cilantro and the juice of 2 limes.







2) Walnuts

Richer in heart-healthy omega-3s than salmon, loaded with more anti-inflammatory polyphenols than red wine, and packing half as much muscle-building protein as chicken, the walnut sounds like a Frankenfood, but it grows on trees. Other nuts combine only one or two of these features, not all three. A serving of walnuts--about 1 ounce, or 7 nuts--is good anytime, but especially as a postworkout recovery snack.

SUBSTITUTES: Almonds, peanuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts

FIT IT IN: Sprinkle on top of salads; chop and add to pancake batter; spoon peanut butter into curries; grind and mix with olive oil to make a marinade for grilled fish or chicken.

HOME RUN: Mix 1 cup walnuts with 1/2 cup dried blueberries and 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks.

1) Oats



The éminence grise of health food, oats garnered the FDA's first seal of approval. They are packed with soluble fiber, which lowers the risk of heart disease. Yes, oats are loaded with carbs, but the release of those sugars is slowed by the fiber, and because oats also have 10 grams of protein per 1/2-cup serving, they deliver steady, muscle-friendly energy.

SUBSTITUTES: Quinoa, flaxseed, wild rice

FIT IT IN: Eat granolas and cereals that have a fiber content of at least 5 grams per serving. Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed on cereals, salads, and yogurt.

 PINCH HITTER: Quinoa Salad > Quinoa has twice the protein of most cereals, and fewer carbs. Boil 1 cup quinoa in 2 cups of water. Let cool. In a large bowl, toss it with 2 diced apples, 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 cup plain fat-free yogurt.

8) Spinach

It may be green and leafy, but spinach is no nutritional wallflower. This noted muscle builder is a rich source of plant-based omega-3s and folate, which help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. Bonus: Folate also increases blood flow to the nether regions, helping to protect you against age-related sexual issues. And spinach is packed with lutein, a compound that fights macular degeneration. Aim for 1 cup fresh spinach or 1/2 cup cooked per day.

Substitutes: Kale, bok choy, romaine lettuce

FIT IT IN: Make your salads with spinach; add spinach to scrambled eggs; drape it over pizza; mix it with marinara sauce and then microwave for an instant dip.

PINCH HITTER: Sesame Stir-Braised Kale > Heat 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger, and 1 tsp. sesame oil in a skillet. Add 2 Tbsp. water and 1 bunch kale (stemmed and chopped). Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Drain. Add 1 tsp. soy sauce and 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds.

7) Yogurt

Various cultures claim yogurt as their own creation, but the 2,000-year-old food's health benefits are not disputed: Fermentation spawns hundreds of millions of probiotic organisms that serve as reinforcements to the battalions of beneficial bacteria in your body. That helps boost your immune system and provides protection against cancer. Not all yogurts are probiotic, though, so make sure the label says "live and active cultures." Aim for 1 cup of the calcium and protein-rich goop a day.

SUBSTITUTES: Kefir, soy yogurt.

FIT IT IN: Yogurt topped with blueberries, walnuts, flaxseed, and honey is the ultimate breakfast--or dessert. Plain low-fat yogurt is also a perfect base for creamy salad dressings and dips.

HOME RUN: Power Smoothie > Blend 1 cup low-fat yogurt, 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, 1 cup carrot juice, and 1 cup fresh baby spinach for a nutrient-rich blast.





6) Tomatoes

There are two things you need to know about tomatoes: Red are the best, because they're packed with more of the antioxidant lycopene, and processed tomatoes are just as potent as fresh ones, because it's easier for the body to absorb the lycopene. Studies show that a diet rich in lycopene can decrease your risk of bladder, lung, prostate, skin, and stomach cancers, as well as reduce the risk of coronary artery disease. Aim for 22 mg of lycopene a day, which is about eight red cherry tomatoes or a glass of tomato juice.

SUBSTITUTES: Red watermelon, pink grapefruit, Japanese persimmon, papaya, guava
FIT IT IN: Pile on the ketchup and Ragú; guzzle low-sodium V8 and gazpacho; double the amount of tomato paste called for in a recipe.

PINCH HITTER: Red and Pink Fruit Bowl > Chop 1 small watermelon, 2 grapefruits, and 1 papaya. Garnish with mint.

5) Carrots

Most red, yellow, or orange vege- tables and fruits are spiked with carotenoids--fat-soluble compounds that are associated with a reduction in a wide range of cancers, as well as reduced risk and severity of inflammatory conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis--but none are as easy to prepare, or have as low a caloric density, as carrots. Aim for 1/2 cup a day.

SUBSTITUTES: Sweet potato, pumpkin, butternut squash, yellow bell pepper, mango.

FIT IT IN: Raw baby carrots, sliced raw yellow pepper, butternut squash soup, baked sweet potato, pumpkin pie, mango sorbet, carrot cake.

PINCH HITTER: Baked Sweet Potato Fries > Scrub and dry 2 sweet potatoes. Cut each into 8 slices, and then toss with olive oil and paprika. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 350°F. Turn and bake for 10 minutes more.
