With the huge proliferation of weight loss diets on the market it can be difficult to see the wood for the trees, yet there is a very simple way of managing your diet that is effective, easy, and helps prevent hunger.

Sticking to food with a low energy density is the key, and this is backed up by recent research.

Studies have shown that food with a high water content is also higher in nutrients, and a greater quantity can be consumed without putting on weight.

Weight loss was higher than with conventional diets, and participants also felt fitter and more energetic.

Another big advantage of eating predominantly low energy-dense food is it removes the need to count calories, and let's face it that is one of the biggest turn-offs for people considering starting a diet.
