Green Beige
September 282009
It sounds pretty amusing when one asks you to have colorful meals for weight reduction. So, this expression needs explanation. It is an approach where you make sure that your meal plate reflects a a spectrum of colors, and produce better balanced and healthful menus. Most people will not have the time or lack patience to keep a count of calories, but minding the colors that you see on your food plate will do the magic.
What is the importance of these colors?
Many food items comprising fat and high calories, like dairy produce and carbohydrates are beige or brown in color. When you have too many and too much of these colors spreading on your plate will certainly result in increasing your weight.
This happens because beige color foods generally are rich in calories and can also make you feel hungry later. For instance, a cup of beans colored beige or brown can contain over 200 calories. In contrast a cup of green vegetables will have less than 100 calories. With this understanding, now consider fresh greens and deep purple reds on your plate along with bright yellow-orange for a meal. All these, with water, give you higher nutrition content, at the same time reducing your calorie intake. You will also enjoy your meal better with all these colors on your plate.
Do you find these ideas crazy? Natural. They in fact do sound crazy. But the fact is well grounded in verifiable scientific findings. Dr David Heber, nutrition expert of repute from the Centre for Human Nutrition, UCLA has established the impact of colors in his book "What Color is Your Diet?" Now, next time you open your refrigerator, think of colors that will do good to you.
