Billions of dollars a year are spent on weight loss products. And while some of them may help you lose weight, there is no substitute for just eating healthy. So, we decided to put together a list of 20 foods that you can easily find in your supermarket that will help you lose weight, boost your metabolism, and become a healthier you.
1. Eggs
Eggs are full of protein and there is a misconception that eating only egg whites is best, but go ahead and eat the whole thing. It tastes better, and half the protein is found in the yolk. The egg yolk has vitamin E in it, plus it will keep you fuller longer.
2. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is low in calories and very filling. This is a great choice is you aren’t adding a lot of sugar or jam. Keep it simple, and just add a little cinnamon for flavor.
3. Apples
You’ve all heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Apples also have more fiber than any fruit but pears.
4. Pears
Pears have pectin fiber, which decreases blood-sugar levels, helping you avoid snacking between meals.
5. Grapefruits
A powerhouse for heart health, grapefruit contains vitamin C, folic acid, and potassium, along with pectin, a soluble fiber that may be a strong ally against atherosclerosis. Pink and red varieties also have vitamin A and lycopene, a phytochemical that protects arterial walls from oxidative damage. To get the juiciest ones, select the ones that feel heavy for their size.
6. Blueberries
All berries are good for you, but blueberries have the highest levels of antioxidants of any fruit. They also provide your body with fiber and are low in calories.
