Like oatmeal, nuts contain a lot of fiber, which is great to prevent hunger. Apart from this, in nuts you will also find protein (and lots of it) and omega 3, both of which help you burn fat quicker. However, make sure you only eat raw nuts and not packaged because the later contains plenty of salt, which is not great for weight loss.
One of the best nuts that you can eat is the Brazil nut as it has what is needed to keep the body full of thyroid hormones, which help keep your body’s metabolism high. A high metabolism helps your body burn off additional fat during exercise.
Fish
The most ‘popular’ fish eaten in households are all great for aiding. Tuna, Salmon and Sardines allow Leptin (a fat burning hormone) to become ‘more active’ in the body. (like fiber) stops your body from ‘craving’ food. Leptin is also the hormone which decides if you store the calories (which will cause weight gain), or if you ‘use’ the calories for energy (which will burn them).
Organic Beef
A little known fact about organic beef is that it contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which, even though CLA is itself a fat, it helps you burn off other fats. Various tests have shown that people who consume CLA will lose weight, even if they do not make any changes to the way that they live.
Starch (Resistant)
Starch is another fibre which (as we know by now) is an appetite suppressant. However, these types of starches (found in bananas, potatoes and whole grain among others) have been proven to allow your body to burn in the region of 25% more body fat during exercise. This type of starch also prevents your body from storing fat, which will prevent you from putting on ‘un-necessary’ weight.
As you can see from the above, there are plenty of foods that you can eat in order to, and without a doubt if you choose these foods (in place of your regular diet) then you will get to your target weight much quicker than if you ignore the above. Remember; always look around for the best foods for your needs, as there are plenty more foods other than the ones listed above that can really help you lose the weight that you require.
