super 5 foods for weight loss
1. Spinach
Popeye was on to something. This dark, leafy green is chock-full of so many beneficial nutrients, like iron, potassium (a helpful bloat-buster), fiber, and even protein.
Blend 2 cups of spinach, 1 cup of fruit, and an unsweetened milk substitute for a filling, healthy smoothie that can aid weight loss, or use it as a bed for a colorful salad.
2. Chia seeds
These little seeds pack a major nutritional punch. A tablespoon contains 69 calories, largely thanks to the seeds’ heart-healthy fats, plus 5.5 grams of fiber. It’s no surprise they make a welcome addition to everything from smoothies to make-ahead puddings.
Try these four recipes, including chia-crusted chicken and avocado-chia pudding pops with goji berries.
3. Flax seeds
Like their cousins, chia seeds, flax seeds are diverse little kernels. A tablespoon has 55 calories, 3 grams of fiber, and 4 grams of good-for-you fats.
Add them to smoothies, sprinkle them atop your morning bowl of cereal, or incorporate them into your baking when you want a healthy dessert.
4. Apples
Apples' skin offers a good dose of filling fiber, which can help you take in fewer calories overall. One medium apple serves up 4 grams of the nutrient. Plus, the antioxidants in apples may help prevent metabolic syndrome, a condition that can increase your risk for heart disease, along with other health issues like obesity.
Apples are the ideal on-the-go low-calorie snack. For a pie-like treat, chop up a medium apple and sprinkle with allspice and cinnamon, then pop it in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
5. Tomatoes
The combination of the antioxidant lycopene, water, and potassium makes tomatoes another winner, Brigitte Zeitlin, M.P.H., R.D., C.D.N., founder of the New York-based BZ Nutrition, told SELF in a previous article.
Try baking tomatoes with pesto and Parmesan for a quick, healthy snack, using them as part of a taco salad, or including them in a bloat-reducing dinner.
