Top Ten Weight Loss Foods

Beans

Add a serving of beans, one of the best sources of fiber, to your menu three times a week. They have an amino acid called tryptophan, which helps control your appetite, and the fiber keeps you feeling full longer. There are many of these types of beans you can eat including, black beans, chick peas, kidney beans and many others. Beans are great for those of us who are trying to achieve quick weight loss.

Nuts

Nuts, such as almonds, help manage your appetite because they contain mono-saturated fatty acids. A handful can keep you feeling satisfied until your next meal. Almonds and walnuts are the best, but others types of nuts are good as well. Research shows that if you eat whole grains instead of refined grains, you can lose over two times more belly fat, and the fiber reduces the spikes in blood sugar levels.

Avocados

Avocados contain health fats. Healthy fats are good for appetite control because they keep you feeling full longer. Avocados are a good choice as they also contain a lot of fiber and don't cause your blood sugar levels to see-saw.

Berries

Cranberries, strawberries, blueberries, and pomegranates are all good choices. Yale University School of Medicine found that a meal high in carbs and sugar causes free radicals to destroy the neurons that signal when you're full. Antioxidants destroy free radicals and berries are loaded with antioxidants.

Fiber

Fiber rich foods like oats, celery, carrots and many others. If you increase your daily intake of fiber to 24 grams, the fiber can absorb up to 90 calories per day. These are like "free" calories! They simply leave your system.

Veggies with folate

Folate containing vegetables. Folate is one of the B Vitamins. The British Journal of Nutrition discovered that people with high levels of folate can lose up to 8-1/2 times more weight when they diet. Vegetables high in folate include broccoli, brussel sprouts, bok choy, cauliflower, kale, and cabbage. These types of vegetables are quite helpful for you to realize rapid weight loss.

Apples

Apples, and other fruits with peels, are high in fiber. If you eat four serving of a fiber-rich fruit each day, you can easily reach the goal of 24 grams. A UCLA study determined that this extra fiber was the difference between overweight people and people whose weight was normal.

Grass Fed Beef

Grass fed beef is lower in fat. If you want to reduce the grams of fat in the beef you eat, 3-1/2 ounces of beef that has been raised on grass has 2.4 fat grams, whereas traditional beef can have up to 16.3 grams of fat.

Hemp Seed

Hemp seed is last but not least. This food is often considered the most nutritious food on the planet. It has an almost perfect balance of protein, complex carbohydrates and healthful fats. To get the most nutrition per calorie, nothing beats hemp seed.
