If you are looking to start a diet regimen or if you are looking to find foods that will help keep your body looking lean and fit, then you will definitely need to do some research. Despite what many people believe, there are quite a few varieties of foods that can help you to lose weight. When you eat the right types of food your body responds accordingly. The calories you will burn throughout the day will be boosted and cravings will subside more and more. This is a list of nine foods that will help you during your weight loss journey.

1. Oats—Oatmeal has the highest satiety rating of any food you can consume, so it is the most filling of all oats. Look to get some fiber from your oatmeal as well. Instant oatmeal can pack around 4 grams of fiber, while minimally processed oatmeal has around 5 grams. To get more out of your oats, replace bread crumbs in recipes with oats.

 

2. Eggs—People recognize eggs as a powerful tool in their diets, especially egg whites. However, all of the egg, yolk and whites, are beneficial to losing some inches. Protein found in eggs is not only helping produce muscle mass, but it will keep you fuller throughout the day causing you to eat less. If you cannot seem to find the time to make a healthy breakfast of eggs each morning, then bake a frittata before the week begins to reheat on busy mornings. You will get the benefit without losing time.

 

3. Kale—If you are looking for more iron and calcium in your diet, which most are, the kale is the best option. There are only 34 calories with 1.3 grams of fiber in one cup of chopped kale. If the thought of kale seems too risky for your taste buds, the go for a milder option of spinach.

 

4. Lentils—The nutrients found in lentils (protein and soluble fiber) help your body to stabilize blood sugar levels. When your blood sugar levels are stabilized you will not experience insulin increases that usually lead to excess body fat. Take advantage of lentils by putting them in pasta dishes in place of the meat.

 

5. Apples—When choosing a snack, an apple is the best way to go. Apples happen to be very filling thanks to the 4 to 5 grams of fiber in just one. Antioxidants found in apples can also help to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome, a condition indicated by excess belly fat.

 

6. Olive Oil—The healthy fat found in olive oil will help to keep your appetite in control and increase satiety. There are also anti-inflammatory properties found in this oil. When you use it on veggies in a salad, it will even boost the antioxidant power of the vegetables.

 

7. Blueberries—You cannot go wrong with any type of berry in your diet, but blueberries happen to be the best choice. Blueberries have the highest amount of antioxidants out of all commonly eaten fruits. These “power” berries also have around 4 grams of fiber in one cup, so munching on blueberries will help absorb some of the fat you are eating.

 

8. Wild Salmon—Salmon is good for your health and will improve your sensitivity to insulin. By conquering insulin sensitivity, you will begin to build more muscle, thus causing you to burn more calories. When enjoying your salmon, keep the recipe simple with some salt, pepper, and lemon.

 

9. Pomegranates—While to most, it is not a secret that pomegranate juice can work wonders, but the seeds from the fruit are also heavy hitters when it comes to weight loss and health. Antioxidants and folate are found in the seeds, and they are low in calories but high in fiber. You can munch on the seeds raw, or replace nuts in salads with pomegranate seeds.
