There is a weight loss diet that focuses on just about every type of food out there, and popcorn is no exception. Popcorn is a handy food that is inexpensive, easy to make and high in fiber. Eating popcorn regularly, as long as there isn't butter or excessive salt added, can be part of a healthy, low-calorie diet for weight loss.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Eat a few small, healthy meals each day. Concentrate your meals around high protein, low-fat foods. Start to or continue to eat vegetables and fruit as part of your healthy eating regimen.

  2. Step 2

    Skip the normal snack foods during the day and use only popcorn as your snacks. Keep popcorn around the house at all times.

  3. Step 3

    Get rid of other snack foods in the house that are high in fat and calories.

  4. Step 4

    Drink water with your snacks instead of soda or other high-calorie drinks such as sugary juices.

  5. Step 5

    Buy a hot air popper and popcorn kernels, and use those items to make popcorn instead of using microwave popcorn in your diet. Pop the popcorn without using oil to keep it low-calorie.

  6. Step 6

    Enjoy the hot-air popcorn plain instead of putting butter or popcorn sprinkles on it, which can be high in fat, calories and sodium. Eat as much of this popcorn as you wish, which keeps you full because of its high fiber content. Lose weight as you constantly feel full from eating this low-calorie food.
