Here’s a list of foods and drinks you can consume all for 150 calories and below. You won’t have to keep clicking an arrow to the next page and the next 25 times to see these (one of my pet peeves I can’t stand to do when I view a list online.) I have them all listed on the same page which makes it tons easier to view. To help you understand how to lose weight. Please refer to my previous article. http://organicsusana.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Lose-Weight-Naturally-and-Happily You can see that eating an extra 3500 calories in a week is adding a pound of weight to your body (4 pounds you will gain in just a month=48 pounds extra a year). Eating an extra 3500 calories in a month is adding a pound a month which is 12 pounds a year! The list below will help you get more bang for your buck and you will notice that the fruits and vegetables on this list can be consumed in higher amounts due to its’ low caloric features while getting the best nutrients.

1. 2 calories for cup of brewed coffee (black coffee has a lot less calories as you can see, it’s when we add those tasty condiments to them the calories then rise.
2. 10 calories for 5 stalks of celery (5 inch stalks)-and a tablespoon of peanut butter added is an additional 94 calories to this (not bad for a satiating snack)

While I don’t advocate obsessive calorie counting, I do promote being aware of the quantity and quality of your food intake. I also highly encourage you to get into the habit of reading labels so you can control what goes into your body. Keeping a food journal is not to count calories but for you to see just how much food you are consuming daily. It also lets you view how much healthy food you are putting in your body. You can’t go wrong in the produce department when you are hungry. Try to pinpoint foods not on this list that you eat which are of calorie dense foods but have little nutritional value plus they won’t satiate you. It really will help you to see a list of smaller portion foods you can eat as snacks for an energy surge and it really prevents you not to overeat at meal times. Many of us are unaware just how much drinking alcoholic beverages can add to our weight issues, so it’s good to visualize our intake of this.
