Introduction
A low-density, high-volume diet requires eating more vegetables and fruits, choosing low-fat protein sources, and selecting whole grain foods. In addition, it is important to drink plenty of water and control portion sizes. Water increases satiety, reduces food intake, and helps eliminate metabolic waste while maintaining the body's fluid balance. It is also essential to avoid foods high in sugar and fat.
For a low-density, high-volume diet, it's important to eat more vegetables and fruits, choose low-fat protein sources, and opt for whole grains.
1. Eat more vegetables and fruits
Vegetables and fruits are rich in fiber and water, which increase satiety and help reduce calorie intake.
2. Choose low-fat protein sources
Examples include fish, chicken, and legumes, while avoiding high-fat meats.
3. Choose whole grain foods
Such as whole wheat bread and brown rice, which are rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, helping regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
In addition, drink plenty of water and control portion sizes. Water increases fullness, reduces food intake, aids in metabolizing waste, and maintains the body’s fluid balance. Avoid high-sugar and high-fat foods such as candies, cakes, and fried foods, which are high in calories but low in nutritional value. Maintaining regular physical activity along with a low-density, high-volume diet helps achieve weight management and overall health.
