The View

Tue., Aug. 16: "Weight Loss" special

Tuesday, August 16th

(Originally aired 6/20/05)

Today's show was all about getting in shape!

Since recent studies have expressed that eating dairy may actually help you lose weight, we recruited nutritionist Joy Bauer to explain exactly what that entails as well as to disclose other foods that also vow to assist in shedding those extra pounds. Below you will find a brief description of the topics discussed on this morning's program. For more nutritional advice, pick up a copy of Joy's latest book Cooking with Joy. This publication is now available through the ABC TV Store.

Fiber

Insoluble Fiber takes a longer time to chew and provides volume to food without adding a lot of calories.

All-Bran Cereal

Low-Carb bread

Wheat Bran

Soluble fiber helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, which ward off hunger and cravings.

Strawberries

Apples

Pears

Steel-cut oats oatmeal

Chickpeas

Black Beans

JUICY FOODS

Fruits and vegetables with a high Water content "built in" helps to fill you up resulting in eating less collectively throughout the day. Drinking straight Water separately does not have the same effect since it leaves the stomach more rapidly.

Watermelon

Lettuce

Tomatoes

Cucumbers

Mushrooms

Grapefruit

Cantaloupe

LEAN Proteins

Lean Proteins can slightly rev up your metabolism after ingestion. To calculate your daily personal requirements, multiply .50 x your body weight in pounds to find out how many grams your intake should be.

chicken breast

Canned light tuna

Shrimp cocktail

Turkey breast

Tofu

Turkey burgers

DAIRY

There is some evidence that ample dairy can help promote weight loss. Stick with low-fat or non-fat sources and reap the other benefits from Calcium as well, bone health, colon protection, alleviate menstrual cramps and help manage blood pressure.

Non-fat yogurt

Part skim string cheese

Skim milk

Low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese

Low-fat or fat-free cheese

SPICY FOODS

Capsaicin has been shown to increase fat oxidation. However, studies have yet to prove that hot spice can promote weight loss. On the other hand, studies have reported that people are often satisfied with less food when the meal is spicy hot. Plus, you automatically eat slower and drink more water.

Chili peppers, jalapenos

Habaneros

Hot salsa

Spicy vegetarian chili

Stir-fry veggies with chili peppers

DIET SODA

A study from The University of Texas has shown that people who drink diet soda are more likely to become obese because they are over compensating and give themselves permission to eat high caloric foods. Bottom line is you must be accountable for the calories you intake and drink water!

Next, Jorge Cruise, weight loss expert and author of The 3-Hour Diet, showed us how the things we do in our daily routines, such as brushing your teeth and going to the mall, can actually burn calories and help us lose weight. Below you will find a brief description of the topics discussed on this morning's program.
