Wouldn't it be great if you could lose weight by eating? Well, your wish is about to come true. In this post we will look at three foods that will help you lose weight. Sound too good to be true? Well, read on to understand what I mean!
1. Lean meats:
Lean chicken meat is one of the best weight loss foods you can ever have! Why? It contains lots of protein and very little fat, and as you know, protein will build lean muscles. Lean muscles will help you burn fat by accelerating your metabolic rate!
Chicken has the advantage of being readily available and is one of the most economical meats in the store. If you're not too keen on chicken try turkey breast! In any case, make sure you eat only lean meats and stay away from red meat!
Fish is also very good for rapid weight loss. Fish such as salmon and tuna contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids fall in the category of 'good fats' or unsaturated fats. You gained weight because of a hormone called leptin which stores fat inside your body. Omega-3 fatty acids will cut down on leptin; when that happens, you are pretty much bound to lose weight!
2. Olive oil:
Replace your fatty oil with olive oil. Olive oil is almost free from the 'bad fats' (saturated fats) and contains a considerable amount of unsaturated fats. These unsaturated fats will not only suppress your appetite but also fight cholesterol. In short, olive oil will keep your cholesterol levels down.
3. Berries:
Berries are excellent for weight loss. There are many types of berries: blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc. All of them will help you with weight loss. Strawberries are one of the best among the berries: not only do they taste good, but also help in suppressing your appetite. Once you get rid of hunger pangs, you can focus more on your weight loss goals and less on eating!
As you can see, just because you want to lose weight doesn't mean that you have to starve. Many people tend to starve or follow crash diets but nothing beats eating and losing weight. I firmly believe that if you eat the right foods, you will not only lose weight but also become healthy.
As a plus, the foods I mentioned above are also rich in vitamins and antioxidants. And remember that these are not the only weight loss super foods that are available to you. Other foods such as nuts, oatmeal, eggs and almonds can also help you with weight loss. Add these foods to your diet and see how quickly you are able to get rid of that surplus fat!
