The 5 Best Weight Loss Foods out of 50






Black beans

Super-Slimming Foods

Black beans

Black beans are a member of the pulse family, a food group that's been shown to help burn calories, reduce belly fat, and curb appetite. Just one cup of black beans packs 15 grams of protein without the saturated fat you often find in other high-protein sources, such as red meat.

"Black beans work great in both savory and sweet dishes," says Sass. "You've probably had black bean soup, but you can also make black bean brownies or whip them into puddings and smoothies."
Blueberries

Blueberries

One cup of antioxidant-rich blueberries contains just 80 calories and 4 grams of fiber, which helps your body feel full for longer. They're also a good source of manganese, which can speed up metabolism and make you feel energized.

More reasons to love them: blueberries contain a compound that attacks cancer-causing free radicals, and research suggests they may also help ward off UTIs, keep skin bright, and reduce age-related memory loss.

Broccoli

Broccoli

A great source of calcium and important cancer-fighting compounds, broccoli also has loads of filling fiber and will set you back only 30 calories per serving. If eating this cruciferous veggie makes you bloat, try steaming it first, which makes it easier to digest while still preserving the cancer-fighting ingredients that could be lost when you boil or cook it in the microwave.

Brown rice

Brown rice

This healthy grain is a great source of phytonutrients, which have been linked to decreased risks of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Brown rice is also packed with fiber, contains 1.7 grams of fat-burning resistant starch, and is a low-energy-density food (in other words, it's filling but still low in calories).

Feeling adventurous? Try adding black rice to your shopping cart instead of brown. It contains even more antioxidants than blueberries and significantly more vitamin E than brown rice.
Cabbage

Cabbage

Cabbage is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C but extremely low in calories (just 22 per cup), so you can fill your plate with the leafy green guilt-free. And while you're probably familiar with the infamous Cabbage Soup Diet, there are plenty of alternate ways to eat this veggie that won't leave you feeling hungry. It's delicious in a variety of slaws or salads, and makes a crunchy garnish atop tacos or burgers.

What Our Nutritionist Thinks ?

What Our Nutritionist Thinks ? Gaining  back  unwanted  pounds after a period of weight loss is an all-too-common  problem , and it’s not just about  flagging  willpower.  Even when  people  follow their diet and exercise  routine  to a T, it’s not  uncommon  for their bodies to adapt to those  missing  pounds by slowing down their  metabolism  and burning fewer  calories . This can lead to slowed  progress , or even a reversal from  weight  loss to weight  gain . Now, a  new  study suggests that  cutting  back on carbs may boost  metabolism  and help people burn more  calories , according to new  research  published yesterday in  BMJ .  The study  authors  say their findings  challenge  the belief that all  calories  work the same in the  body —and  suggest  t...
