Starting off my list for the most weight-loss friendly food, we have…
Salmon
We bet you didn't see this one coming.
When people talk about food that can help you lose weight then salmon may not be the
first thing to comes to mind.
We don't blame you after all Salmon is categorized as an oily fish and contains lots of fats.
This is good enough to make any fitness freak think twice before eating Salmon, but there
is more to salmon than meets the eye.
Salmon is a rich source of iodine, a nutrient that boosts metabolism and helps maintain
proper thyroid function.
Apart from that it also contains Omega-3 Fatty
Acids that have been proven to reduce inflammation,
one of the major causes of obesity.
Oh and it is a rich source of protein as well.
So the next time you come across Salmon, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
Moving on from one unexpected entry into the list, here is a familiar one…
Broccoli
If the last one had you in a fix, this is pretty easy to guess.
Broccoli contains plenty of nutrients that are good for the body.
In fact if you can have a bowl of chopped broccoli in a day, you will be ingesting about
5 grams of fiber.
It is a nutrient that helps in your digestion process.
Additionally, Broccoli is a rich source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K.
This vegetable is especially good for people with blood pressure problems as it helps to
maintain it.
What's more?
Broccoli is very low in calories.
Yes, you heard that right.
One bowl of chopped raw broccoli contains only about 30 grams of calories, which can
be easily burned by a few laps around the house.
No wonder, nutritionists always recommend broccoli to me.
I better pick up a few while I am here.
Let's move to the third food on my list, it is also a bit unusual one...
Whole Eggs
If you thought the salmon was a strange entry to this list then looks like it has a contender,
whole eggs.
A study conducted on 30 women found that women who had whole eggs for breakfast didn't feel
the urge to eat a lot for the next 36 hours.
As a result, they ended up losing more weight than women who had bagels for breakfast.
If that was not mind-blowing enough for you then we have another one.
Another study shows that having whole eggs
with a less calorie diet helps in weight reduction.
In other words, if you have eggs during breakfast, you will not feel as hungry and that will
help you control your calorie intake for the rest of the day.
Interesting, don't you think?
Who would have thought that a food with such a high percentage of fat would help in losing
weight?
Speaking of which, here is another unlikely food
Meat
When you think of meat, you may not categorize it as a weight-loss friendly food.
Although there’s no significant evidence people have even linked meat with diabetes.
While, processed meat may cause some problems for you, fresh meat is actually very helpful
when it comes to losing weight.
Meat is rich in protein and can help you burn up to 100 calories a day.
Studies also suggest that if you can increase your protein intake every day, it will reduce
your cravings for snacks.
So, if you are on a low-carb diet then feel free to stuff yourself with as much meat as
you can consume.
You can also try out the fatty meat without the worry of getting fat.
In case you are on a high-carb then we would recommend that you eat lean meat without all
the fats.
And on the chance you’re allergic to red meat or you don't like it, you can go for
the white meat.
Keep in mind though, the levels of protein varies so make sure that you are having enough
white meat, if you choose that option.
While we’re on the topic of protein, we can't miss out on our number 5 pick
Cottage Cheese
Like most dairy products, Cottage Cheese is high in protein and calcium.
As we have already discussed, foods with a high amount of protein helps burn a lot of
calories.
So, in that case most dairy products should have made the list, right?
Well they haven’t because apart from being rich in protein, they are also high in fat
and carbohydrates.
So what’s so special about cottage cheese?
Well, it’s low in fat and carbohydrates.
So, what you end up having is all the good stuff.
Now, that sounds like a definite bonus.
There is one problem though, just because it is low in fat does not mean that it does
not have fat, so we would recommend having it in moderation.
Hmm, this list is quite a revelation.
Take the next item in the list for an example…
#6 Boiled Potatoes
Yes ladies and gentlemen, one of the most weight-loss friendly foods out there is boiled
potatoes.
I know what you are thinking, recently many people have had the same thought but there
have been speculations on whether they are healthy enough to be consumed.
They are a rich source of fiber and potassium though and that means they can not only help
you lose weight but also help you regulate your blood pressure.
As far as I am concerned, you will be killing two birds with one stone.
No, we are not really going to kill any birds.
It is just a figure of speech.
Coming back to the point, as we are talking about fruits, how can we forget about our
number eight pick…
Grapes
According to a study, which was conducted on 91 individuals over a span of 12-weeks,
grapes can help you reduce weight.
These individuals were given fresh grapes before meals as well as at the end of the
experiment, they were able to lose about 1.6 kilos or 3.5 pounds.
That is staggering, here I have been trying to lose weight for the past few days and people
are doing just by eating grapes.
Grapes also help fight a metabolic abnormality known as insulin resistance, which has been
related to many chronic diseases.
This brings us to our next point…
#9 Beans
After discussing other foods that are high in fiber, I felt obligated to mention beans
in this list as it is a good source.
I have already told you that fiber helps you reduce weight.
Although, fiber is not the only thing that beans have, they are also high in protein.
Now, this is the ultimate food to have for losing weight.
Protein will burn the calories and fiber will help in the digestion process.
Ah, good old fiber and protein.
What would we do without you?
Avocado
This is a rather well-known food in the weight reduction club.
While, other fruits would be flexing their carbs, avocado would be providing you with healthy fats.
This fruit also contains lots of water and, you guessed it, fiber.
You probably know by now that with this nutrient, you can bet on losing weight.
Oh fiber, I love you with every fiber of my being.
Speaking of which, here’s our next food...
#10 Tuna
We started with salmon and we are here at tuna.
Hmm, that is fishy!
Compared to salmon, tuna is more of a predictable entry into this list.
After all, it is famous for being very low in calories.
Similar to salmon, tuna is also high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids and I have already told you how
useful that is for shedding a few pounds.
Tuna is the preferred choice of body builders, models and athletes who want to have a high
protein diet, but don't want to deal with the extra calories that come with other options.
Oops!
I almost forgot to mention to you all.
Tuna has lots and lots of proteins.
There you go, you have another reason to add Tuna in your diet.
With that I am done shopping.
Whew!
So, which one of these foods would you like to try in order to lose weight?
