Summer is the time of year I am most conscious about my weight and the 13 best healthy foods for weight loss is what I plan to eat religiously.
Somehow this is the time of the year I gain weight. I guess it’s because I eat too many fruits… I can eat half a watermelon in one go.. They are so tasty in Greece. ‘All good things in moderation’ … An Ancient Greek Philosopher’s quote we all should follow!!!
I don’t know… All I know is I am thiner in winter… and I need to get rid of that extra belly fat fast…
So here are the 13 Best Foods in order of preference 🙂
1. Avocado
My number one favorite healthy tasty food. You can actually fight fat with fat. Avocados are high in monounsaturated fatty acids, which can diminish belly fat. Check out the best spicy guacamole recipe I love to eat it with grilled chicken and cottage cheese.
2. Berries
The antioxidant anthocyanin, found in berries, can alter gene activity in fat cells, making it harder to gain weight. Love them with Greek yoghurt.
3. Hummus
Guess what? The easy hummus recipe I gave you a few days ago is not only tasty but also a good alternative to mayo saving you tons of calories in the process.
4. Nuts
A recent study showed that people who ate an ounce of nuts a day had higher levels of the feel-good hormone serotonin. With me the problem is I get carried away and eat more than 10 which is more or less how many you should eat every day.
5. Spaghetti squash
Comfort food with low calories!
6. Quinoa
The famous superfood is an excellent source of protein and fiber that helps you feel satiated.
7. Chia seeds
Chia seeds have fiber, protein and omega-3s!!!! Must be included in a healthy diet.
8. Salmon
Grilled salmon has omega-3 fatty acids and high protein content.
9. Eggs
Super healthy and they make you feel fuller for longer. The yolks are full of nutrients too. A low calorie omelet I like to eat is with zucchini.
10. Peppers
Spicy peppers have metabolism-boosting properties…
