Weight loss begins with a proper and healthy diet. Choosing the right foods is crucial for boosting metabolism and burning fat. That's why we have a list of 10 natural foods that can help you lose weight fast.
Here are the 10 foods that promote fast weight loss
Avocado
Avocado is high in fat also called "healthy fats". They represent 85% of the fat content of avocado. According to a study published in Nutrition Journal, the results showed that people who ate avocados tended to have a healthier diet, a lower risk of metabolic syndrome, and a lower body weight than people who did not eat them.
Broccoli
Broccoli is low in calories and fat and loaded with dietary fiber. A cup of chopped raw broccoli contains only 30 calories, while the same amount of cooked broccoli contains 54 calories. In addition, a cup of raw broccoli provides over 100% of your daily intake of vitamin C and vitamin K. It is also a good source of folate and vitamin A and also provides vitamin B6 and potassium. In addition, dietary fiber allows you to feel satiety faster and therefore eat less. In addition, broccoli and several vegetables have been shown in a study to be associated with prevention of obesity.
Chia seeds
Two tablespoons of chia seeds contain almost 10 grams of fiber. That's about 40% of the recommended daily intake. Diets high in fiber have been associated with weight loss. According to a study published in Annal of Internal Medicine, eating 30 grams of fiber a day can help you lose as much weight as dieting more complex.
Cranberries
Cranberries contain significant amounts of flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds that are positively associated with health, and cranberry juice beverages are rich in these bioactive compounds. In a study published in Nutrients, and that examined the association between cranberry juice consumption, macronutrient consumption and weight status, the results revealed that, compared to non-consumers of cranberry juice, those who consumed them were leaner and had a reduced risk of obesity.
Eggs
Eggs are not only healthy, they are loaded with nutrients, but they also help with weight loss. According to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity, the results showed that breakfast with eggs improves weight loss, when combined with a diet low in energy.
Oily fish
Oily fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring ... etc, are perfect for losing weight. In a study published in International Journal of Obesity, the results showed that the inclusion of lean or fatty fish, or fish oil in a diet with reduced energy content, resulted in a weight loss of about 1 kg after 4 weeks, compared to a similar diet without seafood or supplement of marine origin.
Grapefruit
According to a study published in Journal of Medicinal Food, the results revealed that adding grapefruit to the diet can lead to serious weight loss. The researchers found that eating half a grapefruit before meals or taking a juice of this fruit three times a day helped participants lose an average of 1.6 kg and 1.49 kg respectively. Many subjects in the study lost more than 10 pounds in 12 weeks.
Lentils
Lentils are an excellent choice of food if you are trying to lose weight. Because lentils are virtually fat-free but high in fiber, they tend to fill you up without adding unnecessary calories to your meal. According to a study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, eating about 130 grams of legumes each day resulted in a weight loss of 0.34 kg for more than six weeks with the addition of a single serving of legumes to the diet, and without any special effort to reduce other foods.
Oat
Oats is an excellent source of dietary fiber, which is very important for weight loss. As we have already seen, the fibers contain few calories and help to stay full longer, which makes you not eat too much, and therefore lose weight.
Pungent foods
Eating pungent foods can boost weight loss. According to a study published in Bioscience Reports, consumption of hot peppers can contribute to weight loss by thermogenesis, which is the process of creating heat from fat burning. The researchers found that capsaicin, a compound found in chilli, prevents weight gain by activating thermogenesis in the body.
