It’s easy to think that if you want to lose weight, you should avoid eating, but there are some foods that can actually speed up your weight loss. These so called ‘superfoods’ are not only great for your weight-loss efforts but they are also packed with nutrients, making them fantastic for your wellness and wellbeing.
These superfoods help to build up your bones, guard against chronic diseases, give you better eyesight and improve your cognitive abilities, and in addition to all that they can help you to lose weight – and to keep it off for good.
Black beans are one such superfood. Just one cup of these little black beans contains an enormous 15 grams of protein, but without all the saturated fats that are found in many other sources of protein such as red meat. This protein keeps you feeling fuller for longer.
Oats are also great for weight loss as they are full of fibre, so keep you feeling satisfied for a long time. Half a cup of oats contains 4.6 grams of a healthy carb called Resistant Starch, which helps to burn fat and also boosts your metabolism.
Avocados are another one that can help to boost your weight loss. Those who have been on many diets may feel wary of this vegetable as they know that it is high in fat – but it is important to understand the difference between bad fats and good fats, and this is packed with the latter. In addition to this, oleic acid in the healthy fat of avocados may actually help your body to quiet the hunger pangs. Just quarter to a half of an avocado can help to get rid of your body fat.
Salmon is a great lean protein, which can fill you up without adding any fat. It’s also full of this hunger-curbing acid and full of healthy oils that can make you look good and feel well.
