Tips such as drinking water before meals, taking green tea and even trying intermittent fasting.
All these tips can actually lead to shading some weight but is it good for your health?
Yes, in most instances,it works! fast results and everything but you have to consider the wellness and fitness of your body.
You don't have to strain your body in order to lose weight instead,you can achieve it gradually.
Everything good takes time. And by gradually i mean, nutritionally.
Use the daily foods at home to manage your weight. Have a target, plan your meals and just adhere, trust me it will work.
As a nutritionist, I have gone way out to do mini surveys on social platforms and added my general knowledge on foods on this topic.
During the entire survey thing on weightloss, 4 foods kept on coming up and i picked them out.
They include;
- Green leafy vegetables
- Salmon
- Whole eggs
- Lean beef
1.Leafy greens.
Leafy greens include kale, spinach, collards, swisschards and a few others.
Many people do not like eating vegetables but prefer chicken and other meats and that's true.
People tend to like good looking foods from restaurants and food outlets and have less appetite towards vegetables.
The reason why I personally recommend you trying the green leafy vegetables is that they have several properties that make them perfect for a weight loss diet,
such as being low in calories and carbohydrates and loaded with fiber.
You eating leafy greens is a great way to increase the volume of your meals, without increasing the calories.
Nutrition research show that meals and diets with a low energy density make people eat fewer calories overall and I too can attest to that.
Leafy greens are also incredibly nutritious and tasty when well-cooked.
It's just that we people have an assumption of it not being good and healthy.
It's also very high in many vitamins, antioxidants and minerals, including calcium,
which has been shown to aid fat burning in some nutrition research.
2.Salmon.
This is another food item that can help you loss weight in a healthy manner.
Fatty fish like salmon is an incredibly healthy and very satisfying,
keeping you full for many hours with relatively few calories,
and thus help you reduce frequent eating ,eventually leading to a reduction in your weight.
Salmon is loaded with high-quality protein, healthy fats and various important nutrients for your overall healthy well-being.
Fish and other seafood in general may also supply a significant amount of iodine an important nutrient for women during pregnancy and lactation.
This nutrient is necessary for proper thyroid function in humans, which is important to keep your metabolism running normally.
Salmon is also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which helps reduce inflammation,
which is known to play a major role in obesity and metabolic disease,
and thus means it may help reduce your weight plus other significance to your body.
Mackerel, trout, sardines, herring and other types of fatty fish are other examples to consume because of their low calorie content,
in case you can not access salmon.
3.Whole Eggs.
Although a high intake of eggs raises the levels of “bad” LDL-cholesterol in some people,
they are one of the best foods to eat if you need to lose weight.
They are high in protein and fat, and are very satiating.
One study in 30 overweight women showed that eating eggs for breakfast, instead of bagels,
increased feelings of fullness (satiety) and made participants eat less for the next 36 hours according to several research accounts.
Eggs are also incredibly nutrient dense and can help you get all the nutrients you need on a calorie-restricted diet.
Interestingly, almost all the nutrients are found in the yolks.
Eggs are very filling and nutrient-dense.
Compared to refined carbs like bagels, eggs can suppress appetite later in the day and may even promote weight loss,
and the good thing is that it's a food that's common in our household meaning you can have a steady meal plan with consistency.

4.Lean beef
Lean meats are meats with a relatively low fat content.
Skinless chicken and turkey and red meat, such as pork chops, with the fat trimmed off are examples of lean meat.
The fat on a pork chop accounts for about two thirds of its fat content and the skin on chicken can account for 80 per cent of its fat content.
Meat has been unfairly demonized.
It has been blamed for various health problems despite a lack of good evidence to back up these negative claims.
Though processed meat is unhealthy, studies show that unprocessed red meat does not raise the risk of heart disease or diabetes.
According to two big review studies, red meat has only a very weak correlation with cancer in men and no correlation at all in women.
The truth is, meat is a weight-loss-friendly food because it’s high in protein.
Protein is by far the most filling nutrient, and eating a high-protein diet can make you burn up to 80–100 more calories per day.
Studies have shown that increasing your protein intake to 25–% of daily calories can cut cravings by 60%, reduce your desire for late-night snacking by half and cause weight loss of almost one pound (0.45 kg) per week.
If you’re on a low-carbohydrate diet, feel free to eat fatty meats. However, if you’re on a moderate- to high-carbohydrate diet, choosing lean meats may be more appropriate.
Conclusion.
What do you say is the most effective for weightloss among the 4 foods? I'd recommend all the 4 but choosing at least 2 that can work for you considering
the consistency is the best plan towards achieving the set target weight,
