What Foods Can Help Me Lose Weight Fast?

Posted By: Unknown on 22:00
By eating certain foods you can actually lose weight!
Amazing, but completely true. The days of misinformation from the so-called weight loss experts are over, as it is well documented that certain 'super foods', as they are known, actually hold fewer calories than it takes the body to digest them, making them negative calorie foods.
An apple, for example, contains 100 calories, yet it takes 150 calories for the body to digest it. Do the maths, if you ate 10 apples that would mean you had consumed 1000 calories, but in order to digest those 10 apples the body has burned 1500 calories meaning a calorie deficit of 500 calories. Now this figure equates to a pretty substantial weight loss, and hopefully you can see now that you do not have to starve yourself to achieve weight loss you just have to eat the right foods.
Unfortunately, during middle age many people start to put on weight and this is because their metabolic rate slows down and their bodies begin to burn fewer calories; eating super foods is an excellent way for them to lose weight and keep it under control, here is a list of some super foods to get you started, but there are many, many more.
1. Peanut Butter: Replacing regular butter with peanut butter is a great idea. Unlike regular butter which is almost completely fat, peanut butter is rich in protein, needed to build lean muscle which in turn burns calories, and fiber, a natural appetite suppressant.
2. Almonds: There are two types of fat, saturated and unsaturated, commonly referred to as good fat bad fat. The saturated fats are the villain of the piece and will make you put on weight whereas the unsaturated fats are the knights in shining armour, providing your body with much needed and essential nutrients such as fatty acids. Almonds, and other similar types of nut, are full of unsaturated fats and protein and will help you lose weight by increasing your metabolic rate.
3. Green Tea: If you are a tea drinker, try swapping your regular tea with green tea. Although regular tea is fine, green tea contains certain fat fighting chemicals which will help you with your weight loss. This is why you see green tea in the ingredients of many weight loss products.
4. Beans: Beans in all their varieties are excellent at suppressing appetite as they are extremely rich in fiber, and also take a long time to digest, not to mention that they possess a high protein level also, needed, as previously mentioned, for building lean muscle.
