Do not be misled by the title. Just because it says that, does not mean you are allowed to indulge in your sinful treats as much as you want. You can still eat your greasy steaks and pizza on the weekends just as long as you institution moderation and eat healthy for most of the week. The last thing you want to feel is deprivation. So here is a list of food that not only taste good, but can also help in shedding pounds off of you.
1. Spices flavor your food and increase your metabolism at the same time. Spice up your food with all sorts of peppers, chili, garlic, cloves, curry, mace, nutmeg, cinnamon, hot mustard, bay leaves, paprika, and allspice.
2. Spicy hot recipes and sauces/pastes make you consume lesser volume of food and may even safe you from Alzheimer's Disease. Treat yourself with some chili casserole, tom yum, wasabi, etc.
3. When you find yourself craving for some dairy products, also go low fat: low fat milk, low fat cheese, low fat cream, and low fat yogurt.
4. When it comes to rice, brown is healthiest. Its consumption does not cause the blood sugar to spike. Brown rice is great for diabetics.
5. Whole grain cereals and oatmeal for morning meal or as light mid-day snacks.
6. Whole grain breads instead of wheat breads. Wheat breads instead of white breads.
7. Sweet potatoes instead of quarterly potatoes.

9. Fresh and natural produce because they are low in calories, sodium, fat, and sugars compared to processed foods.
10. Any vegetable and fruit because they are high in water content and fiber, but low in calories.
11. Lean cuts of any meat such as pork tenderloin, beef round steaks, and chop cuts of veal. Steaks are also allowed for as long as the fats are trimmed off.

13. White meat instead of dark (for poultry) - the breast region of a chicken or turkey
