Here are the 8 most weight-loss-friendly foods on earth that are supported by science.
Most of the foods, included as part of a weight-loss diet, have a few things in common: they're high in fiber (which helps keep you feeling fuller longer) and have a low energy density, that means you can eat a decent-sized portion without overdoing it on calories.
You are what you eat. Relieve Stress By Eating The Right Food. Choose what you feed your body.
1. Fatty fish (Omega-3 rich food)
Salmon are incredibly healthy and very satisfying, keeping you full for many hours with relatively few calories.
They are loaded with high-quality protein, healthy fats and various important nutrients. One of which, is the iodine. This nutrient is necessary for proper thyroid function, which is important to keep your metabolism running optimally.
2. Eggs
Eggs are an excellent source of protein. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids the body needs for growth and development. They are one of the best foods to eat if you need to lose weight. They are high in protein and fat, and are very satiating. Eggs also contain vitamin D, which helps ease both anxiety and depression.
Eggs are also incredibly nutrient dense and can help you get all the nutrients you need on a calorie-restricted diet. Interestingly, almost all the nutrients are found in the yolks. Egg yolks are another great source of vitamin D.
3. Sweet Potato (or potato)
Potato has several properties that make them a perfect food both for weight loss and optimal health. They contain an incredibly diverse range of nutrients. They’re particularly high in potassium, a nutrient that most people don’t get enough of and that plays an important role in blood pressure control.
4. Vegetables
such as Asparagus, Broccoli, Bok Choy, Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower
Their health benefits are vast. They're low in calories and carbohydrates, making them the perfect non-starchy addition to any weight-loss plan. These vegetables are simple to include throughout the week. Use them as the hearty base for meal-prep salads or blend them into smoothies.
5. Tuna
Tuna is another low-calorie, high-protein food. It is a lean fish, meaning it is low in fat. Tuna is popular among bodybuilders and fitness models who’re on a cut, as it’s a great way to increase protein intake while keeping total calories and fat low. If you’re trying to emphasize protein intake, make sure to choose tuna canned in water, not oil.
6. Fruits
Fruits do have properties that make them weight-loss-friendly. Even though they contain natural sugar, they have a low energy density and take a while to chew. In addition, their fiber content helps prevent sugar from being released too quickly into your bloodstream.
7. Almonds
Almonds are an excellent source of fiber, and they're high in protein. Eating foods with the one-two punch of fiber and protein can help you feel fuller longer, which makes it less tempting to reach for an unhealthy snack between meals.
Rich in vitamin E and a good source of heart-healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats, almonds are a great choice to sprinkle over a salad or side dish. You can also use them in pesto in place of walnuts or pine nuts, top your morning granola with them, or simply keep a small bag in your purse as an emergency snack.
8. Water (with a hint of lemon/ lime)
Water is a weight loss ally in a number of ways. For starters, if sipped prior to a meal, it can help makes you eat less. Water helps you blast even more fat because it is a much better beverage choice than diet soda or fruit juice, both of which are full of artificial sweeteners that can pack on belly fat super fast.
Lemon can also help encourage weight loss. Just one lemon contains an entire day's worth of vitamin C, a nutrient that has the power to reduce levels of a stress hormone called cortisol that triggers hunger and fat storage. Lemons also contain polyphenols, which researchers say may ward off fat accumulation and weight gain.
With that, the best foods for weight loss also tend to be the most nutritious, allowing you to cut calories and shed pounds without sacrificing your health. No matter what, you always want to choose foods you enjoy eating, otherwise, it's going to make sticking to your eating plan pretty difficult.
