Many people look to diet fads and trends for ways to lose weight.
However, many of these programs aren't sustainable; even if you do shed a few pounds, you'll likely gain it all back.
More traditional efforts like adding fruits and vegetables to your diet can provide you with speedy weight loss with results that are much more likely to last.
To accelerate the weight loss process,you may need to approach fruits and vegetables in a more extreme way, but keep it healthy and sensible.
The most common would simply be adding several servings of fresh produce to add valuable fiber and nutrition to your diet.
However, others are more stringent. Some people make a majority of their diet fruits and veggies with just small amounts of chicken and fish.
Other people don't eat meat at all, but do indulge in eggs, yogurt, milk and cheese alongside the vegetables.
The most strict of all fruit and veggie diet is the vegan diet, which requires that you eat only foods that come from plants.
Fruits and vegetables offer numerous health benefits, besides assisting in your weight loss efforts.
They can contain everything from vitamin E (apples, bananas, blackberries), vitamin A (tomato, kiwi, sweet potato, spinach) and vitamin C (orange, kale, lemon,
potato) to iron (grape, avocado, peas, carrots), folic acid (strawberry, cantaloupe, broccoli, asparagus) and zinc (corn, lima beans, squash).
Consuming fruits and vegetables provides your body with enough fiber to keep your digestive system functioning properly.
