If you’d like to lose weight – just eat more...

If you think eating more to lose weight sounds like bad diet advice, it’s not...

...as long as you eat more of the right stuff. Jonathan Bailor, author of “The Smarter Science of Slim,” explains: Calories are not all that matter. They’re not all the same. High-quality foods such as protein-rich seafood, poultry, eggs, nuts and seeds and non-starchy vegetables like celery, asparagus and salad greens will actually help you lose weight. They fill you up and keep you full and are burned off with your normal metabolism, unlike process foods and starches. 

Don’t forget plenty of fiber too. Whole wheat bread, brown rice and oatmeal are all good options. Jonathan also says green tea can work wonders and will help you burn more fat than plain water. Drink 5 to 15 cups a day, hot or cold, caffeinated or decaf.
