Losing Weight.
I have to say that some quick weight loss diets work. I know a friend who followed a certain diet just so she could lose some weight before her wedding. She was able to achieve her weight goal. However, if you do not want to follow certain diets, here are 5 foods that you should have more in your diet that can help you lose weight.
1. Fruits and vegetables (5-9 servings per day): Packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. Not just delicious, fruits and vegetables reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer and other ailments.
2. Whole grains: Whole-wheat breads and pastas, whole-grain low-sugar cereals, brown rice, bulgur, quinoa, kasha (buckwheat), barley, oats and oat bran. Great source of B vitamins, vitamin E and fiber.
3. Low-fat and non-fat dairy products: Excellent source of bone-building calcium.
4. Nuts and seeds: Rich in protein and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.
5. High-quality, low-fat protein: Skinless chicken and turkey, fish (also rich in omega-3 fatty acids), legumes and eggs.
