6 Low-Calorie Foods For Weight Loss: From Apples To Yogurt
« on: November 17, 2017, 02:26:47 PM »
Dieting is an important part of weight loss. What you eat affects greatly whether you would lose or gain weight. Certain foods can add more pounds, while others are beneficial for weight loss.

Here are seven low-calorie foods for a healthy weight.

Grains

Whole grains are loaded with fiber and contain a significant amount of protein. Great examples include brown rice, quinoa, and oats. Due to soluble fibers, oats increase satiety and are good for metabolic health. Rice is high in resistant starch.


Beans




Legumes provide the excellent combination of weight loss ingredients. They are an excellent source of fiber, and according to scientists, it may prevent certain diseases. Beans especially are a beneficial food for weight watchers because they also contain complex carbs, nutrients, and antioxidants. And last, but not least, you can use them in many ways from light salads to hot soups. The possibilities are really endless.

Veggies

There is a great reason to eat more vegetables. Some of them can burn calories. According to studies, one cup of broccoli contains only 25 calories but requires up to 80 calories to digest it. In other words, you have burned 55 calories while eating one cup of this product. Don’t like broccoli? Try cauliflower, celery, or zucchini.


Full-fat yogurt

Yogurt is an excellent dairy product. It contains probiotic bacteria that are beneficial for your bowel function. Having a healthy gut can help protect against inflammation and leptin resistance. Studies demonstrate the full-fat dairy is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and obesity, so people should choose full-fat yogurt.

Salad




Well, salad is the most obvious low-calorie food. Leafy greens are high in vitamin C and antioxidants. You can also add tomatoes and cucumber. Cucumber is especially weight-loss friendly because of its high water content, meaning a low-calorie count.

Apples




Apples contain pectin, a substance that keeps your body feeling fuller for longer. If you don’t like apples on their own, you may add them into salads, muesli, yogurt, or oatmeal.
