The first 10 steps to losing weight
7. Eat more fruits and vegetables
When researchers at the Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University analyzed the health records of 59,000 African-American women from across the United States, they found that women who consumed a diet high in vegetables and fruit had less of a weight problem over the course of 14 years than women whose diets were low in these foods. Women who consumed a diet high in meat and fried foods gained more weight than women with low intake of these foods. These associations were strongest for women whose dietary patterns did not change during the study period. The associations also were stronger among women younger than 35 years, who gained the most weight (29 pounds during the 14-year study period, on average).
