Stop Ignoring These 7 Foods If You Want To Lose Weight!

What's the first thing you'd do if you decided to shed a pound or two? Most likely, you'd google a diet. And the internet contains millions of them developed by celebs, celebrity coaches, doctors, professors, scientists, etc.

Anyway, all diets boil down to either making you eat more 'good' foods and/or limiting or eliminating 'bad' foods, or changing your views on foods: the way you think about eating and the way you feel about it.

So, what foods are likely to be included in a diet to help you slim down?

The best 'fat-burning' foods

Actually, fat-burning foods don't exist. There's nothing out there that you can eat and then go watch TV while it's burning fat. People are usually referring to foods that boost your metabolism, give you the feeling of satiety, and are rich in antioxidants and other nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Some of the A-players include the following:

• Nuts - forget the myths about them. Despite being fatty, they are proven to improve metabolic health and promote weight loss, when consumed in moderation.
• Beans, chickpeas, lentis, and peas - they are high in protein and fiber and leave you with the feeling of fullness.
• Avocados - there are superfoods in the list, of course. This fruit is rich in healthy fats, which you shouldn't be afraid to consume. Besides fats, one avocado contains about 147 grams of water and 13.5 grams of fiber.
• Oatmeal, which helps you tame hunger and supplies your body with protein and fiber for better functioning.
• Boiled potatoes - the most filling food, meaning you won't feel hungry afterwards for quite some time.
• Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and other cruciferous veggies - rich in fiber and protein (compared to other greens) and filling.
• Berries - another fiber-rich food that helps fight inflammation, aids gut health, boosts metabolism, and helps aid weight loss.

Can you just start eating these foods and train and lose weight?

Well, you have a goal, so that's a start. Before diving in, try to create a plan for yourself that includes the following:

• A realistic weight loss goal
• A balanced eating plan that requires you to consume fewer calories
• Adopting healthier habits
• Physical activity

Summary

To make your result stick, keep in mind:

• Portions count
• Calories count
• Nutrition counts

Don't get too obsessed about either food or working out, maintain a balance and consult with your doctor before getting started.
