Ten Foods To Help You Loose Weight
Ten Foods that help you loose weight and deliver health bonuses are :
1. Eggs : 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 breakfast of
equal calories.
2. Beans : Cholecystokinin, a digestive hormone, is a natural appetite suppressant. It is one of the best weight-loss pal. A study of eight men found that their levels of
the hormone (which may work by keeping food in your stomach longer) were twice as high after a meal containing beans than after a low-fiber meal
containing rice and dry milk. High-fiber beans can lower your cholesterol.
3. Green Tea : 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.
4. Pears : Pears contain pectin fiber, which decreases blood-sugar levels, helping you avoid between-meal snacking. This may explain why, in a Brazilian study that
lasted 12 weeks, overweight women who ate three small pears or apples a day lost more weight than women on the same diet who ate three oat cookies daily
instead of the fruit.
5. Soup : A cup of chicken soup is as appetite blunting as a piece of chicken. Researchers speculate that even the simplest soup satisfies hunger because your brain
perceives it as filling.
6. GrapeFruit : Its black. Researchers found that eating half a grapefruit before each meal or drinking a serving of the juice three times a day helped people drop more
than three pounds over 12 weeks. The fruit's phytochemicals reduce insulin levels, a process that may force your body to convert calories into energy
rather than flab.
7. Cinnamon ( Dalchini) : Reaserchers found that a little cinnamon can help control post-meal insulin spikes, which make you feel hungry. Research from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture confirmed it. With just a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon a day lowered the blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride
levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
8. Vinegar. It's a great filler-upper. In a Swedish study, researchers found that people who ate bread dipped in vinegar felt fuller than those who had their slices plain.
The probable reason is; Acetic acid in the vinegar may slow the passage of food from the stomach into the small intestine. Vinegar can also cut down the
swift blood-sugar rise that occurs after you eat refined carbs such as white bread, cookies, etc.
9. Nuts : They are fattening. A handful of peanuts is about 165 calories. But research shows that people who snack on nuts tend to be slimmer than those who don't.
Researchers found that when a group of 15 normal-weight people added about 500 calories worth of peanuts to their regular diet, they consumed less at
subsequent meals. The participants also speed up their resting metabolism by 11 percent, which means they burned more calories even when relaxing.
10. Hot red pepper : Eating a bowl of spicy chili regularly can help you lose weight. The magic ingredient may be capsaicin, which helps suppress appetite.
