Can you lose weight by watching calories and eating high fiber foods?

well you have to do a little more than watching the calories... 'cause i know i sometimes sit on the couch and just watch them come in the form of doritos without thinking twice!\n\nbut anyways, your body's weight is limited by laws of science, so in fact, calories in vs calories out is the main factor as to your weight fluctuations (other than water retention).\n\nso, what does this mean? well... you have two sides of the equation you can manipulate to make your calories in be less than your calories out (which would in turn make you lose weight).  First, you can decrease calories in.  Second, you can increase calories out.\n\nbut before you start cutting back on a diet and thinking you'll lose weight, remember this: if you take in less calories than you exert, guess what kind of weight your body will likely lose first?  the answer is: muscle weight!  your body likes to go this order in choosing what to burn as extra energy: carbs, proteins, then fats.  your body can go through the carbs rather quickly, and then hit the proteins. now it will hit a little bit of fat simultaneously as well, but you will proportionately lose quite a bit of muscle as opposed to fat. \n\nnow here's the dilemma... the more muscle you have, the more fat you burn during activities!  so by losing muscle weight by reducing calories in, you then start reducing calories out as well... it's a sick cycle.  so then, how the heck do you lose fat?\n\nwell, simple answer is... you have to exercise--weight training and other anaerobic exercise is crucial for this purpose--in order to maintain muscle mass!  \n\nso hopefully the term "diet and exercise" will begin to make a bit more sense than just two dull words jammed together.

Have you tried a high fat diet?

The diet you've shown is 'balanced' and you'll lose weight.  \n\nYou won't lose quickly because your carbs are high, but you'll lose.  Be sure the chicken is without skin or sauce.  Watch the butter or sauce on the rice.\n\nI prefer faster weight loss, but you need to pick a diet that you can stick with.

I would think you are probably just eating a lot of fiber.  It does not sound unhealthy to me.

No.  If you want to lose fat, you have to consume less calories than you expend.  That's a combination of eating and activity.  If you move your body more, then you can increase the rate of loss, but eating regularly and exercising regularly is the best way to go.\n\nAnyone who tells you that you can eat whatever/however much you want to eat and lose weight by (a) eating certain things, (b) taking certain supplements or (c) reading a book, etc. etc. is just selling something.

the only way to lose weight is by exerting more energy than you put in.  for instance,  you eat a can of tuna that has 60 calories per serving and each can has 2.5 servings.  that's 150 cal right you would have to run 1 mile to burn 150 calories. (apx)  There is now magic pill that will take it off only proper diet and training.  It doesn't even matter what you eat as long as its not sugar and fat.  You just have to do more than you eat.

Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results. However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.\n\nFood-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.\n\nHigh-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.\n\nHigh-fiber, low-calorie diets: As I've noted in many previous blog entries, fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.\n\nLiquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long‑term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.\n\nFasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health.\n \nNo fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start: \nEat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients. \n\nGet some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.\n\nInclude sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.\n\nChoose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no mo

No, fiber will not cause a weight gain. Fiber regulates the level of blood sugar, which may help in weight loss. It also regulates your bowel movement. The daily norm of fiber for 2000 cal diet is 25 grams a day. \nI hope this info helps:)

Count the calories you take in daily, and adjust it according to what is healthy for you, or a number designated by your physician or nutritionist. Most people eat more calories in a day than they need to eat to maintain their weight. If you eat less calories in a day than you expend, you will lose weight over time. No healthy or longstanding weightloss occurs rapidly though. Long term weight loss will occur through healthy lifestyle choices.

It's a really great start and you will notice a difference.  Watch your food intake, too.  Don't assume that because you are exercising you can eat more.  The only real way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in.  Good luck!

Technically no; however, at some point you will reach the Law of Diminishing Returns, and carrots will no longer fill that void for you and may cause you to move to some other "munchie" which will make you lose weight; vary you diet with something similar to carrots.

The only safe and effective way to lose weight is to watch what you eat and to exercise.  If you do not change your lifestyle, any weight you lose with any fad will come right back plus some and will most likely damage your body in the meantime.
