The key to any decent weight loss diet is going to be the choice of healthy foods. When dieting, it helps to have a wide selection of these foods. Many people do not like to eat the same types of food over and over. Like with many other things we prefer variety.

So with that in mind, check out this list of healthy foods. Most, if not all, should be available in your local supermarket. And if not, then check out your local farmer's market or health food stores.

But more importantly, don't just print it and tuck it away somewhere. Print it and use it. This is the only way that you are going to lose those unwanted pounds.

Health Foods For Weight Loss

As you know, there are three basic types of nutrition: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. The following is a list of good sources for each group.

But one more quick note. As for some of the meats, in a pinch you can go with deli, but cooking fresh is always better, since process meats typically have high sodium content. The same is true for canned vegetables. As for the fruit, fresh is more nutritious than canned, since the canned fruit is usually packed in syrup.
