Foods That Help You Lose Weight
Red meat
Lean red meat especially sirloin is a great choice for women who are trying to shed pounds. It is an excellent source of protein. Also, as protein takes longer to digest, it can reduce hunger and help lose weight.
Sirloin tip, T-bone, or strip steaks are the best choices for steaks.
Beefs labeled as '97 percent lean' or 'extralean' are the best choice as they contain less than five grams of fat per serving.
Beefs labeled as 'Prime' should be avoided because of their high fat content.
Portion size is also an important factor, no matter how lean the meat is. A three-ounce serving is considered enough.
Ice cream Researchers believe women who have at least one serving of full-fat dairy products a day gain less weight than women who do not.
Dairy products should be added to the regular daily diet. Having a little cheese, ice cream, or a glass of milk each day is not only recommended for weight loss but also for obtaining calcium, vitamin D and linoleic acid.
Full-fat dairy products contain saturated fat, so low-fat or skim products are recommended.
Eggs
A study has shown overweight women who eat egg breakfasts lose twice as much weight as women who start their days with bagels.
The protein in eggs increases satiety, decreases hunger and helps women lower their daily calorie intake.
Having scrambled eggs for breakfast and soft-boiled eggs with spinach salad for lunch can be a good choice. An omelet of two to three egg whites is also low on calorie.
Eggs should be prepared with cooking spray instead of butter. Cheese should not be added to the diet.
Pizza
Mozzarella, whole-wheat varieties or veggie pizzas with pepper, artichoke, and broccoli can help weight loss.
Additional oil, fat and extra cheese should be avoided. In other words, deep-dish pies or those loaded with sausage and pepperoni should not be consumed.
