10 Foods That Help Weight Loss

Listed are 10 weight loss foods that you can feel free to eat when trying to shed the pounds. These aren’t all low calorie, which may confuse you, but bear with us, we’ll explain why they’re all perfect for weight loss! Low calories are helpful for weight loss, but low carbohydrate is just as important!



1. CELERY



Firstly, a whole cup of chopped celery has less than 20 calories! Do we need to say any more?
Secondly, it also has plenty of folate (Vitamin B9), which is used in cell division and needed to make healthy DNA.

And finally, it is even more abundant in Vitamin K, which stops the process of blood thinning.

Hence, it is not only a great weightloss food but also really healthy, and you should add it to your diet!



2. EGGS



A large, hard-boiled egg only has 78 calories.

Eggs are full of protein and healthy fats, thus, they suppress hunger due to their high nutrient content.

In addition, if you have 3 boiled eggs, you’ll be consuming only 234 calories and you won’t have the urge to eat for hours!



3. SALMON



Salmon has plenty of healthy fats and is loaded with DHA and EPA (two types of Omega-3 fats). Both of these are essential for brain health.

But don’t let it’s fat content deter you! It has ZERO carbohydrates and is also very high in protein (25g per 100g).
Like eggs, the fat and protein will keep you feeling full and will kill the urge to snack constantly throughout the day.

4. BEEF



Firstly, Beef is very high in protein (28g per 100g), which makes you feel full.

Secondly, Beef is high in iron as well, which helps transport oxygen around the body. Therefore, itis great for people suffering from iron deficiency.

It’s also delicious and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Who says weight loss has to be hard?!



5. CHICKEN



Chicken has a lot of protein and a little fat, which is effective in assisting weight loss (noticing a trend here?!).

It also has ZERO carbohydrates. Therefore, it will be sure to assist in the weight loss mission.



6. AVOCADO



Avocado is actually a fruit, not a vegetable. Unlike most fruits, it isn’t packed with sugar, but it actually has a good amount of healthy Omega-3 fats.

It also has a lot of fiber (which can promote healthy gut bacteria) and other key nutrients, which are essential for optimal bodily function.



7. BROCCOLI



Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable. Cruciferous vegetables are packed with fiber, which can make them very filling.

They are also extremely nutritious with a huge amount of Vitamin C (Vitamin C is crucial for a healthy immune system) and Vitamin K as well.



8. BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Like broccoli, Brussels sprouts are also a cruciferous vegetable. Therefore, they are very filling for their size.

It is also full of Vitamin C and Vitamin K and is overall a very nutritious food that you should be sure to implement in your diet.

I recommend steaming broccoli and brussels sprouts and adding them to your low carb meals as a great source of vitamins.



9. CHIA SEEDS –



Chia seeds are one of the best weight loss foods. Primarily, they are very high in fiber.

In addition, they expand to 12 times their size when mixed with water in your digestive system. This keeps you feeling nice and full.

Potentially this could temporarily make you look a little bigger in the short term, however, they will fill you up and suppress hunger.



10. KEFIR



Kefir is absolutely packed with probiotics. This is essential for gut health.

As more and more research comes out about the importance of gut health, foods like Kefir should be growing in popularity.

New research is showing that a gut high in bacteria called Christensenellaceae is linked to weight loss and having low amounts of the same bacteria is linked to obesity.

Therefore, you’ll want some kefir to top up your Christensenellaceae stores!

Be sure to get organic kefir, as well as all the other foods on this list! (If you can’t, that’s okay, just do what you can).
