Foods That Can Help To Lose Weight

Weight loss is one of the most common problems ailing people in the present times. With pressing deadlines everywhere, be it studies or jobs, spending time on healthy eating seems to be a distant prospect. The result is - excessive consumption of calorie-rich fast food and expanding waistlines. Now, you plan to lose weight, but do not have enough time for doing exercise. What to do? Simple, eat! Surprised, aren't you? Do you know that there are certain foods that can actually help you lose weight? Called negative-calorie foods, they require much more calories to digest the calories that what they provide to the body. The result is that when you eat such foods, you burn more calories than you consume and thus, lose weight. In case you want to know more about the foods that can help to lose weight, the following list will come handy.

Did you know that by binging on eggs you can lose weight easily? Sounds interesting!! It is a fact that eggs help you reduce weight. Since they are loaded with proteins, you tend to feel fuller for a longer duration. The protein present also prevents spikes in blood sugar, which can lead to food cravings. As per a research, a person who has two scrambled eggs with toast as his/her breakfast tends to eat less for the next 36 hours as compared to a person who indulges in a bagel breakfast of equal calories.

Some people just have the tendency of overeating during meals. Result - obese body and ever widening waistlines. If you are also one amongst them, it is best advised to binge on a large plate of salad before meals. (Please avoid the creamy dressing if you want to lose weight). It has been proved that people who consume big, low-calorie salad intake less food during the meals. This is mainly because salad makes a person feel too full to binge on extra food. Apart from this, salad is also good for the body, in general, because it contains high volumes vitamins C and E, folic acid, lycopene, and carotenoids

Against what people tend to believe, pears have the largest fiber count in fruits, instead of apples. The fruit contains pectin fiber, which decreases blood-sugar levels, helping you avoid in-between meal snacks. Thus, by including pears in your regular diet, you can reduce your weight to quite an extent and get rid of the unwanted fat as well.

 

If you are trying to lose weight, nothing can be far more effective than consuming grapefruit. The fruit contains phytochemicals, which reduce insulin levels, thereby forcing the body to convert calories into energy, rather than unwanted flab. Just by eating half a grapefruit before each meal or drinking a serving of the juice three times a day, you can lose weight phenomenally. However, remember, you would not lose weight overnight - the process would take time.
