When women want to know or ask what foods to eat so they can be skinny they are essentially looking for foods that aren't going to promote the storage of fat. To become low glycemic a food needs to have a mixture of nutrients, be lower in overall sugars and contain a fair amount of fiber with each serving.

For example a piece of white bread is a high glycemic food because it consists of processed and refined flour. A piece of whole-grain bread would be a lower glycemic food because it contains a good amount of fiber and other nutrients that would slow down the absorption of your food.

Choose a balance of nutrients with your foods which would include fiber, protein and some fat to ensure a lower glycemic food. Since your entire meal is digested at the same time you also need to look at what else you eating at the meal to determine overall glycemic level.

When deciding on a meal you want a balance of a lean protein source, 1-2 servings of vegetable and/or fruit and 1 serving of a higher fiber whole-grain carbohydrate food choice. When eating balanced like this your total glycemic level will be lower, which means your blood sugar levels don't rise as high and your body promotes fat usage for energy instead of fat storage.

When you eat a lean protein source at your feeding opportunities you are also releasing a hormone called glucagon that is the opposite of insulin and counteracts the effect of insulin by promoting the release of fat to be used as energy instead of storing it.

I would say that there are a lot of foods that can help a women become skinny as long as you eat them at the right time and in the correct portions. The best way to be skinny is to eat a lean protein source at every feeding opportunity and a vegetable that is a good source of fiber. Stay away from the high sugar soft drinks or fast foods items that are high in fat.

If being skinny is your goal or you can't lose the weight to fit into that dress then you also have to make sure you incorporate exercise into your program. Nutritional changes by themselves may work to achieve fat loss, but your progress will be much faster when combined with exercise. Incorporating the eating principles above along with an exercise program will have you looking stunning in that amazing dress fast!
