Mealtime tricks to speed weight loss and lower cholesterol

Here are two easy-to-do “tricks” that may help you attain a healthy weight and protect your heart health. 

1. Adopt a “veggies first” approach to mealtime. When you start with fiber-rich foods like salads; steamed, dark leafy greens; or cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower), you can maintain a more stable glucose level, feel full faster, and front-load your gut with phytochemicals that help promote weight loss — especially if you have prediabetes and insulin resistance.

2. Consider a healthy meat alternative called Quorn. It’s made from fermented fungi. When researchers had 20 guys swap out 8 1/2 ounces a day of red and processed meat for the same amount of the mycoprotein-rich mixture for two weeks, the results were impressive. Their study, in the European Journal of Nutrition, found that participants eating the plant-based protein saw a 12% drop in lousy LDL cholesterol, a significant reduction in blood pressure, and they reduced their waist circumference by a bit less than half an inch. That’s a lot in two weeks!
