ACTIVE CALORIES - HEARTY FOODS

This is a continuation of the post below regarding Active Calories.  Yesterday I mentioned 4 types of active calorie foods, chewy, hearty, energizing, and warming.  Today's post will deal with Hearty Foods.

Hearty foods include fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, brown rice, whole-grains, cereals.  As you can see from this list, it is very easy to eat at least one food from this group per day.  Actually, if you even try just a little, you can include one in almost every meal.  You will notice some of these foods also are chewy foods giving you a double touch of active calories help.  These foods not only require more work to eat and digest than many other foods but are also packed with fiber and that means taking up more room in your belly compared to some other foods with the same number of calories.  The more room your calories take up in your belly, the less room you have for other calories including second helpings. Just another little tip to help you change your eating habits for the better.
