How to lose weight and keep it off?
Focusing primarily on group 1 foods, unprocessed or minimally processed foods, from the NOVA classification system, is an important key to losing weight and keeping it off.
Group 1 foods include primarily unprocessed foods, such as vegetables, fruits, unprocessed proteins such as fish and poultry, whole grains, nuts, seeds and beans among others.
Group 4 foods on the other hand, include processed and ultra processed foods such as cakes, cookies, pies, chips, pizza, ice cream, fast food, and a whole host of other foods that are full ingredients that overstimulate the appetite, and may drive us to eat more than we need to leading to weight gain over time.
Group 1 foods are ideal for achieving and maintaing a healthy weight!
