What are the qualities of the perfect food for weight loss?
1) It has to be high in fiber. The most recent weight loss programs emphasize this such as the Full Plate Diet.
2) It has to be high in protein. Most weight loss diet promote high protein diets. The problem is
that if you only use large amounts of animal protein you can actually get sick because of the
lack of fiber and other essential nutrients.
3) It has to be low glycemic. Foods that don't convert into sugar readily in the body are
considered low glycemic. This is a very important feature in any weight loss program and
systems such as nutri- system use this as their main principle.
What food has all these qualities?
Want to guess!

1 cup of bean may contain up to 15 grams of fiber 16 grams of protein and has a very low glycemic
index.
