Losing weight isn’t easy. One has to work out regularly or at least a few times a week and eat clean. But, nowadays, we are swamped by all those fast food ads, and what’s more, junk food is present now more than ever. People really have a hard time finding proper, healthy food to eat. This is especially hard for those who don’t really have enough time to visit the grocery store and prepare home-cooked meals. They look for easy and quick alternatives, and that’s where the problem occurs. That’s why we’d like to talk about healthy foods you’ll want to eat if you aim to lose weight.
Fitness and Diet: What to Eat to Lose Weight?
Soup
Beans
Certain foods can help you shed weight so we couldn’t just omit beans from this article. Many claims that beans are inexpensive and filling! And that is true. For all of you who are working out and thus working towards losing weight, you should eat beans since they are an excellent source of protein. On top of that, beans are high in fiber and slow to digest. Therefore, you will feel full for an extended period which will most likely stop you from eating more.
Protein
Veggies
We’d do you wrong if we didn’t mention vegetables. Add pureed vegetables to your diet since they can be quite useful as ‘cheat’ foods. You will cut back on the calories you’re eating and enjoy that ‘cheat’ meal at the same time. Penn State researchers once added pureed cauliflower and zucchini to mac and cheese, and people liked the dish as much. However, they ate two hundred to three hundred and fifty calories fewer. Think about this next time you ‘forget’ to add veggies to your dish.
Whole eggs
Salmon
It is common knowledge that oily fish such as salmon is quite healthy. Moreover, it is very satisfying, keeping you full for many hours with few calories. Salmon is high in quality protein, healthy fats, and all sorts of important nutrients. Of course, fish and seafood in general supply a significant amount of iodine. Iodine is important for proper function of the thyroid gland which is responsible for your metabolism. On top of that, salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids which have been proven to reduce inflammation. Inflammation plays an important role in obesity and metabolic disease. So, add salmon to your diet!
Beef (grass-fed)
Bear in mind that you most likely won’t lose weight efficiently if you just eat clean and don’t work out. Healthy food and regular exercise are the winning teams when it comes to weight loss!
