There was some excellent information and the featured guest was Joy Bauer, who wrote several cookbooks and nutrition books, the latest being "Cooking with Joy". Read below what the show was about! She said it was EXCELLENT and wished she had taped it!!! Maybe we can catch the re-run.

The View

Tue., Aug. 16: "Weight Loss" special

Tuesday, August 16th
(Originally aired 6/20/05)

Today's show was all about getting in shape!

Since recent studies have expressed that eating dairy may actually help you lose weight, we recruited nutritionist Joy Bauer to explain exactly what that entails as well as to disclose other foods that also vow to assist in shedding those extra pounds. Below you will find a brief description of the topics discussed on this morning's program. For more nutritional advice, pick up a copy of Joy's latest book Cooking with Joy. This publication is now available through the ABC TV Store.

FIBER
Insoluble fiber takes a longer time to chew and provides volume to food without adding a lot of calories.

All-Bran Cereal
Low-Carb Bread
Wheat Bran

Soluble fiber helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, which ward off hunger and cravings.
Strawberries
Apples
Pears
Steel-cut oats oatmeal
Chickpeas
Black beans

JUICY FOODS
Fruits and vegetables with a high water content "built in" helps to fill you up resulting in eating less collectively throughout the day. Drinking straight water separately does not have the same effect since it leaves the stomach more rapidly.
Watermelon
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Mushrooms
Grapefruit
Cantaloupe

LEAN PROTEINS
Lean proteins can slightly rev up your metabolism after ingestion. To calculate your daily personal requirements, multiply .50 x your body weight in pounds to find out how many grams your intake should be.

Chicken breast
Canned light tuna
Shrimp cocktail
Turkey breast
Tofu
Turkey burgers

DAIRY
There is some evidence that ample dairy can help promote weight loss. Stick with low-fat or non-fat sources and reap the other benefits from calcium as well, bone health, colon protection, alleviate menstrual cramps and help manage blood pressure.
Non-fat yogurt
Part skim string cheese
Skim milk
Low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese
Low-fat or fat-free cheese

SPICY FOODS
Capsaicin has been shown to increase fat oxidation. However, studies have yet to prove that hot spice can promote weight loss. On the other hand, studies have reported that people are often satisfied with less food when the meal is spicy hot. Plus, you automatically eat slower and drink more water.
Chili peppers, jalapenos
Habaneros
Hot salsa
Spicy vegetarian chili
Stir-fry veggies with chili peppers

DIET SODA
A study from The University of Texas has shown that people who drink diet soda are more likely to become obese because they are over compensating and give themselves permission to eat high caloric foods. Bottom line is you must be accountable for the calories you intake and drink water!
Next, Jorge Cruise, weight loss expert and author of The 3-Hour Diet, showed us how the things we do in our daily routines, such as brushing your teeth and going to the mall, can actually burn calories and help us lose weight. Below you will find a brief description of the topics discussed on this morning's program.

Furthermore, The 3-Hour Diet is now available through the ABC TV Store.
