Low Energy Density Foods. I get RealAge Tips emailed to me weekly and every once in awhile they send a gem. This week it was about low energy density foods and how they contribute to weight loss.

1. Donât Try to Limit Fat. âEating high-fat foods keeps you from feeling deprived,â says Dr. Westman.

Say Goodbye to Pasta, Bread, and Rice.To lose weight, most people have to stay under 20 grams of ânetâ carbs per day (net carbs refers to the number of grams of carbs minus grams of fiber, because fiber doesnât send blood sugar spiking).ut you can have up to four cups daily of leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach, and collard greens. Limit broccoli, cauliflower, green peppers, okra, and Brussels sprouts to two cups per day. 4. Say No to Hidden Sugars. Fruit, that legendarily healthful food, is packed with sugar, aka carbohydrates.
