Why Follow Strict Diets When Trying Out New Dishes Can Make You Lose Weight?

Being a little experimental with one's eating habits could prove to be a successful recipe to losing weight and staying healthy.

Rather than sticking to healthy food on a daily basis, being a little experimental with one's eating habits could prove to be a guaranteed recipe to losing weight.

Researchers have found that adventurous eaters, known as foodies, weigh less and may be healthier than their less-adventurous counterparts.

Top Food for Dieters
A diet food contains protein, fiber and good fats, which help in weight management. Diet foods if consumed regularly can aid in weight loss. Top diet foods include some nuts, vegetables, grain, fruits.

The study, involving over 500 women across the US, showed that those who had eaten the widest variety of uncommon foods including seitan, beef tongue, Kimchi, rabbit, and polenta also rated themselves as healthier eaters, more physically active and more concerned with the healthiness of their food when compared with less-adventurous eaters.

"These findings are important to dieters because they show that promoting adventurous eating may provide a way for people especially women to lose or maintain weight without feeling restricted by a strict diet," said study co-author Brian Wansink, author of the book "Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life".

"They also reported being much more likely to have friends over for dinner," said lead author Lara Latimer from the University of Texas.
