Tofu
The New England Journal of Medicine reports 47g of soy protein (equivalent to 297g of tofu) daily cuts cholesterol by 23.2mg per decilitre of blood. Tofu contains calcium and iron, almost no sodium and hardly no saturated fat. A 2 1/2 square has 86 calories and nine grams of protein. (Experts suggest an intake of about 40 grams per day.)
Lentils
As well as protein, fibre and carbs, lentils are a great source of molybdenum. This trace mineral helps the body convert carbs to energy more efficiently; 100g of lentils provides your RDA. They also are a good source of magnesium, which plays a role in relaxing the smooth muscles that line the inside of your arteries. This helps lower blood pressure and allows blood to flow more freely.
Eggs
Pure filling protein, most of an egg's appetite-quenching vitamins A, D, E and K are in the yolk. A two egg breakfast cut US study subjects later calorie intake by 417. Also, the protein of whole eggs is more bio-available than egg whites alone due to a more balanced amino acid profile that the yolks help to build.
Avocados
Even though these are typically thought of as a "fatty food", it's chock full of healthy fats! This fruit is super-high in mono-unsaturated fat, but also full of vitamins, minerals, micro-nutrients, and antioxidants. The good fats deriving from avocados promote weight loss as well as overall health. Due to its medicinal properties, avocados can fight and prevent many health problems like heart diseases, high blood pressure, cancer, macular degeneration and more.
NUTS
Nuts are very good at burning fat. They are rich in fat, but this fat is good for you, because your body use it to syntheses hormones and to absorb vitamins like A, E, K etc. Nuts contain also fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. Nuts also maintain fat burning hormones, they fill you up quickly and keep you feeling full - suppressing your appetite. Nuts are perfect as a side order for a larger meal, a light snack (ditch those chips and crisps) or for desert.
Chickpeas
A great protein source, rich in in soluble fibre. Chick peas, also known as garbanzo beans, are together with the whole legume family, one of the best foods you can eat for weight loss. Chickpeas as a fibre source helps regulate your blood fats. The high fiber prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, this being especially good for anyone with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia.
Broccoli
Your RDA of vitamin C is found in just 33g. Research shows that as vitamin C levels drop, waistlines increase, as less carnitine - which transports fat to be burnt - is produced. With lot's of dietary fiber, nutrients and protein, broccoli stands as one of the most nutritious and healthy foods we can eat. Many people eat broccoli raw with dips and in salad. It is recommended that for anyone with digestive problems or get digestive gas easily, broccoli should be steamed until easily digested.
Oatmeal
I cannot understate the incredible fat burning power of a small bowl of oatmeal every morning. A bowl of oatmeal in the morning will make sure your body is burning fat consistently through the day.Oatmeal can help lower down your cholesterol level. It contains big amounts of soluble fiber that can also flush out the bad acids present in the stomach.
Go for unflavored and unsweetened oatmeal. Don't put too much sugar in your bowl either. If you want to sweeten your meal, add fruits to it instead. Apples, peaches, and banana are good suggestions.
Apples
Apples are rich in pectin; the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports upping your intake of this fruit derived fibre increases fat excretion by 44%. The antioxidants in apples may help prevent metabolic syndrome, a condition marked by excess belly fat or an apple body shape. Apples also keep your blood sugar high longer than most foods. This means that you feel and stay satisfied for a longer period when you eat apples.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the most overlooked, under used and healthiest spice in the world. Yes, cinnamon is a spice that almost everyone loves, and can actually help you lose weight. Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol. The truth is, however, that cinnamon is one of the most potently thermogenic foods, making it an ideal flavor to add to your treats to maximize fat loss and ultimately help you to get sexy abs.
