I was looking online today for other foods to eat to help lose weight and here's what i found:
1. Milk- has vitamin D and Calcium
2. Watermelon- contains an amino acid called arginine, high water content may also help you feel full for longer
3. Eggs- People who started their day with eggs felt fuller for longer
4. Green tea- zero-calorie beverage
5. Greek Yogurt- loaded with satiating protein, as well as fat-fighting calcium
6. Air-Popped Popcorn- You can indulge in three whole cups for under 100 calories, while squeezing in a healthy dose of fiber, which will help you feel full
7. Lentils- A cup carries an eye-popping 16 g of fiber and 18 g of protein.
8. Water- zero calories, and drinking lots of it may help curb your appetite
9. Raspberries- One cup of raspberries packs 8 g of fiber for just 65 calories
10. Black beans- A cup of black beans contains a belly-filling 15 g of protein and 15 g of fiber
11. Edamame- Soybean pods give you 5 g of fiber and 10 g of protein per cup—and only 120 calories. “The protein and fiber in edamame keeps you feeling full, and since they’re in pods, it slows down eating
12. Pistachios- Like edamame, you have to shell pistachios before you eat them, which keeps you from speeding through your snack and overdoing it
13. Pears- The fruit’s 5 g of fiber should keep your stomach from rumbling, and pears—as well as apples and other white-fleshed fruits—may reduce your risk of having a stroke
14. Coffee- Java-lovers, rejoice—your morning cup of joe may jolt your metabolism. Drinking two cups of black, caffeinated coffee can boost your metabolism by up to 16 percent
15. Tart Cherries- These ruby reds posses an antioxidant called anthocyanins that may reduce belly fat. Bonus: Cherries fight inflammation, may prevent post-exercise muscles soreness, and ease arthritis-related pain.
16. Blueberries- Blueberries contain more antioxidants than any other fruit, and research also shows that, like cherries, they possess fat-cell fighting antioxidants. Fill up on these little guys and you could also be looking at a healthier heart and a reduced risk for type 2 diabetes.
17. Grapefruit- Dieters who eat half a grapefruit before every meal over 12 weeks lose an average of 3.6 pounds
18. Oatmeal- The 4 g of fiber, paired with a surprising 6 g of protein, in every cup of cooked oatmeal helps you feel full. The complex carbs will also give you plenty of energy to burn calories later in the day.
19. Salmon- This superstar seafood is jam-packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which may boost your body’s metabolism and help you burn more fat. Of course, these friendly fats may also improve your heart health, reduce depression, and prevent arthritis.
20. Quinoa- Loaded with protein and fiber (8g and 5g per cup, respectively), this South American grain will quiet your hunger. It’s also relatively low in carbs, which makes it a blood-sugar-friendly food.
Hope everyone is doing good!! keep up the good work!!
