I believe that avoiding highly processed foods may be the first step to help lose weight. They might taste great, but processed foods have got very little nutritional value, making you feed on more in order to have enough vitality to get through the day. For anyone who is constantly eating these foods, changing to whole grains and other complex carbohydrates will let you have more strength while eating less. Good blog post.
