BEST SUPER FOODS FOR WEIGHT LOSS


Best super foods for weight loss

Now there is no reason for you to add weight or complain about weight gain with these super foods you can now stay slim and lose weight without crash dieting or skipping meals

* Brown Rice- brown rice is heartier, fiber packed alternative to less-than-super white rice. A half cup of serving contains 1.7 grams of resistant starch, a healthy carb that boost metabolism and burns fat. Plus it’s a low-energy density food; it’s heavy and filling but low in calories.  

* Broccoli- cooked or raw, this cruciferous veggie is well known for its cancer-preventing powers, but with a punch of filling fiber in less than 30 calories a serving, its bound to prevent weight problems too.
*Avocados- there are no reason to be afraid of eating fats as long as they are the right fats. Oleic acid, a compound in avocados healthy monounsaturated fats (MUFAS) may trigger your body to actually quiet hunger. Stick to a quarter or half of an avocado and watch that belly fat melt away. The creamy fruit is also packed with fiber and protein.      
* Pears- just one pear packs 15% of your daily recommended amount of fiber. one study found that women who ate three pears a day consumed fewer calories and lost more weight than those who didn’t ditch the peeler because the skin is where all the filling fiber is hiding.
*Grape fruit- even if you changed nothing else about your diet, eating half a grape fruit before each meal may help you lose a pound a week. A compound in the tangy fruit can lower insulin, a fat storage hormone, and that can lead to weight loss. It’s also a good source of protein, and because it’s at least 90%water, it can fill you up so eat less.
* Almonds-nuts are another super food rich in healthy fat that help you slim down. Almonds in particular can help you shed pounds: in a study, people who added a daily helping of nuts to a low-cab diet lost more weight than people who followed the same diet but swapped almonds for a carb-heavy snack like crackers.
* Kidney beans-one of the several varieties of beans to make the list, red beans offer protein and fiber (more than 5grams per serving) kidney beans are also rich in resistant starch; a 1\2 cup serving packs nearly 2grams of this slimming carb.
*Wine-studies have shown that moderate wine dinkers have narrower waists and belly fat than liquor drinkers .Resveratrol,the famed antioxidant found in grape skin ,stop fat storage ,but I would prefer a fresh squeezed grape juice.
*Bananas- bananas are slimming super food at the heart of health carb lovers diet. a slightly green medium size banana will fill you up and boost your metabolism with its 12.5grams of resistant starch .even ripe banana still ranks high on the list  of foods containing resistant starch, with almost 5 grams.
* Eggs-eggs get a bad rap when it comes to weight loss. but the breakfast staple is loaded with protein that will curb your appetite.dont worry about cholesterol, study found out egg eaters don’t have higher cholesterol or lower good cholesterol than bagel eaters.
* Dark chocolate-chocolate lovers, rejoice a nibble of dark chocolate here and there can slow down digestion so you feel full longer and eat less at your next meal. Dark chocolate is full of MUFAS; studies show eating a diet high in these healthy fats can rev your metabolism to burn fat and calories .it may also help by curbing craving for salt, sweet or fatty diet wreckers.
*Oranges-at only 59 calories, you may not expect much from an orange, but thanks to a hefty dose of fiber, it ranks highest among fruits on a list of 38 filling foods put together by Australian researcher, feeling  full can help you eat less throughout the day.
* Potatoes-true, potatoes are high in carbs,but they are three times as filling as  a sheet of white bread, and top all the foods on the same satiety index as oranges. Plus, potatoes are also rich resistant starch, which helps your body burn fat.
* Pine Nuts-nuts lovers don’t have to stick to almonds. These tiny bites pack the same heart-healthy fatty acids that quell hunger hormones and burn belly fat. Plus, at only 95 calories for more than 80 nuts, you can enjoy them guilt free.
* Cheese-fresh goat cheese and feta contain a fatty acid that helps you feel full and burn more fat .when shopping for cheese, look for cheese labeled” grass-fed”, as those will have the highest content of this healthy fat.
* Low –fat milk-the same fatty acid is found in milk, and milk‘s proteins can keep you feeling satisfied. The added calcium may also help; in one study, women burned more fat and calories when they 1,000 to 1,400 milligrams of calcium per day.
And my favorite of all time Green tea- this steamy sip hydrates like water, which can help fill you up and shed pounds. Plus, the anti-oxidants in green tea will up your fat burn and calorie burn. study shows that  five cups of green tea a day could help you lose twice as much weight ,most of it around your middle.
