7 Super Foods To Help You Lose Weight Healthy

     Many people who want to lose weight find it difficult to know which foods to choose for the best weight loss results. Losing weight by swapping and changing to different diets is not the best way, we need to find a way of reducing energy content from the normal foods we eat every day. These healthy foods make our short list when it comes to healthy weight loss. They are not only satisfying, they arrive in your daily diet bringing a gift - healthy benefits which include fighting heart disease to diabetes.

1. What's not to like about dark, leafy greens? Broccoli, kale, spinach, collard and other greens, and swiss chard are rich in iron and calcium and contain a host of antioxidants like vitamins A, B9 (folate) and C. Not only that, but dark leafy greens are high in fiber and low in calories, so you can eat them until you feel full and not blow your calories for the day. Steam your greens or saut?them with garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil and serve them as a side dish, eat them raw in salads or add them to soups.

2. Skip the bagel this morning. Eggs, which are full of protein, will help you feel fuller longer ?a lot longer. A multicenter study of 30 overweight or obese women found that those who ate two scrambled eggs (with two slices of toast and a reduced-calorie fruit spread) consumed less for the next 36 hours than women who had a bagel breakfast of equal calories. Other research has shown that protein may also prevent spikes in blood sugar, which can lead to food cravings.

3. Baked potatoes are also a great food to help lose weight when part of a small, low calorie meal but again, some people spoil this great example by adding tons of butter. Filling a baked potato with baked beans or cottage cheese is probably the best way to add taste and more nutrition to this low calorie food.

4. Nuts - Almonds,macadamia, pistachio nuts and walnuts. Almonds have been shown beneficial in reducing bad cholesterol while macadamia nuts may help fight cancer. Pistachio nuts may assist in combating eye degeneration. English walnuts are heart healthy. In addition, all provide a dose of protein.

5. The chemical properties of grapefruit are believed to help reduce insulin levels in the body. The smaller the spike in your blood sugar after eating, the more efficiently your body uses the food you've eaten for energy, thus reducing the unused amount that's then stored in the body as fat. Additionally, the pulp found in grapefruit provides your body with fiber, while the high water content helps keep your body hydrated to support your metabolism. This is one of the best natural weight loss.

6. The slimming ingredient isn't caffeine. Antioxidants called catechins are what help speed metabolism and fat burning. In a recent Japanese study, 35 men who drank a bottle of oolong tea mixed with green tea catechins lost weight, boosted their metabolism, and had a significant drop in their body mass index.

7. Recent studies are showing that calcium plays a strong role in how the body burns fat and it's believed that the more calcium that's stored in a fat cell, the more fat that cell is able to burn. While similar findings were reported in people who got most of their calcium from supplements, the best results were found in people who consumed higher amounts of low-fat dairy products. Choose nonfat or low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese and aim for three servings a day. Frozen yogurt doesn't count.
