Losing weight is about eating right rather than eating less. For fast results, seek out foods that help you feel full without the need to load up on calories. Make sure you add these top choices to your grocery list.

Legumes

Legumes are free from the saturated fats present in some other sources of protein, like red meat. Choose between black, beans, lentils, and kidney beans for the top benefits.

Avocados

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which can help you shed pounds by fighting belly fat.

Eggs

There’s no need to avoid egg yolks — recent studies have concluded that whole eggs have no impact on bad cholesterol. In fact, it’s better to eat the yolks, as they contain most of the nutrients.

Oily Fish

Oily fish like salmon, trout, mackerel, and tuna are good alternatives to meat. Not only do oily fish contain fewer calorie, they’re also packed with omega-3 fatty acids to burn body fat. Furthermore, all seafood contains high quantities of iodine, which is essential for thyroid function, regulating metabolism rate and directly impacting weight loss.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can reduce your blood sugar after a meal. Although traditionally a condiment, many people gain the benefits of apple cider vinegar by drinking it diluted with water.

Hummus

Make a salad or vegetables more interesting with this high-protein, low-calorie dip. Hummus is also an excellent substitute for mayonnaise in sandwiches.

Nuts

Studies suggest that eating nuts leads to a release in serotonin. The hormone suppresses feelings of both stress and hunger, causing you to eat less. However, it’s important to limit the amount of nuts you consume, as they are high in calories.

Leafy Greens

Kale, spinach, chard, and collards are all packed with fiber but are low in carbohydrates. Eating large portions of leafy greens allows you to consume fewer calories with a high intake of food. Leafy greens are also high in calcium, a mineral that may help to burn fat.

Greek Yogurt

Another way to add calcium to your diet is through dairy products. Greek yogurt is very filling and naturally fat-free. Beyond eating Greek yogurt with fruit for desert or breakfast, you can use it as a substitute for sour cream in baking and marinades.

Soup

Soup adds water to your meal, increasing your food intake while reducing calories. Homemade soup has the most benefits, as you can ensure the dish is free from additives, like starch, that may be detrimental to your weight loss efforts.

Experiment with the above ideas to create delicious meals. Remember to keep adding the ingredients to your grocery list even after you’ve reached you weight loss goals to ensure you maintain a balanced diet and a healthy weight.
