Need some help dieting but not sure what to try? These healthy foods will do the trick!
1. Eggs
Studies show that they don’t affect blood cholesterol and don’t cause heart attacks like the many rumors before. They are actually ranked the highest in helping you lose weight. Whole eggs are high in your daily protein, and the trick is, they help you feel full more quickly. Also, forget the rumor about only eating the whites, almost all of the nutrients are found in the yolks!
2. Leafy Greens
Listen to your parents when they say eat your broccoli! "Greens" means spinach, kale, lettuce, collards, celery and many others! These are not only low in calories and carbohydrates, but loaded with your daily fiber. Leafy greens are also very nutritious and are high in vitamins and minerals. This includes calcium, which has been proven to help in burning fat!
3. Salmon
If you're a fish lover like I am you'll love trying this new food! Salmon is considered to be an oily fish, the more oil the better! It'll satisfy your taste buds and keep you feeling full for many hours after. It's also full of your daily proteins and nutrients. Also, salmon and other seafoods are great for keeping your metabolism up because they are full of the mineral iodine.
4. Lean Beef and Grilled Chicken
These lean meats are where you get most of your protein (unless you're vegan like me). Eating a diet that is high in protein can help you burn 80-100 calories more per day! Awesome right? Studies show that just by increasing your protein to 25% more of calories intake, it can cut cravings by more than half! Keeping you fueled throughout the day!
5. Avocados
Despite what people think, avocados are actually a fruit and not a vegetable! Most fruits are loaded with healthy carbs but avocados are actually full of healthy fats! Avocados are great with salads and on toast! A serving size is 2-3 slices!
I've personally changed my diet and eating habits and include a lot of these foods on the daily and the results are amazing! These foods taste great and will get you looking and feeling good in no time! Don't forget to drink lots of water!!
