Foods high in animal protein, fat, salt and sugar usually contain little fiber, so you have to eat more of them to fill up. But they're also digested quickly, causing blood-sugar swings that trigger over-eating. These triggers are limited or eliminated in a Heart-Healthy diet. Baked potatoes, pasta, fresh vegetables and fruit are all lower in fat, salt and sugar but are high in fiber, so it makes it easier to stick with the new eating plan. |

Studies show that very little of our complex carbohydrate intake is converted into body fat. It takes a lot more calories for our bodies to metabolize complex carbohydrates than to process fat. So we burn extra calories just by eating the Heart-Healthy way. If you maximize the carbs and minimize the fat at every meal, every bite is more likely converted to energy instead of fat. |

Improving the quality of your life is the most compelling reason to make and maintain lifestyle changes. That means people who choose a healthy diet for their hearts are more likely to stick with it- and keep the weight off for good. |
