The saying that you’re what you eat cannot be any truer; from health to weight to skin, you’re actually what you eat. Losing weight is heavily reliant on what you eat and they’re some healthy food that’s can help you with it.

 

Eating foods high in protein, fats, and fiber is a good way to shed weight. This piece highlights some of these healthy foods you should include in your diet to help with your weight loss.

Eggs

It’s no secret that the simplest way to lose is to reduce calorie intake. Eggs contain just 78 calories and they’re high on protein. A human can consume at most 3 eggs per day.

 

Furthermore, they are quite filling and reduce cravings. So not only are you taking fewer calories, you’re left feeling sated. However, keep in mind that when you fry your eggs in oil or butter, you increase your calorie intake.

Nuts

Nuts are a very good source of protein, fat, and fiber. They are also rich in vitamins like magnesium, potassium, and more. They can also reduce the risk of heart diseases. They’re quite good replacements for junk snacks.

Berries

According to a recent study by Harvard Medical School, eating more fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or apples can help people lose weight.

Scientists found eating more fruit on a daily can prevent weight gain, even if you’re eating the same amount of calories.

Potatoes

They’re high in potassium, a nutrient that most people don’t get enough of and that plays an important role in blood pressure control.

 

On a scale called the Satiety Index, which measures how filling different foods are, white, boiled potatoes scored the highest of all the foods tested.

 

What this means is that by eating white, boiled potatoes, you will naturally feel full and eat less of other foods. This will help with weight loss.

Oats

Oats are actually a superfood. Not only is it packed with fiber, but it’s also one of the very best sources of resistant starch. That’s the kind that digests slowly and triggers the release of digestive acids that suppress appetite and accelerate calorie-burn.

Fish
